Anyone watching the chiefs game? They're trying to kill football.

Totally ridculous. The NFL is being ruined. They might as well either put a red practice jersey on the QB or play flag football.
The is called a sack. Speaking of sack, the NFL is losing its sack like many things these days.
Vaginifcation of America!

Or… they are trying to save it. In two ways
1. Less injuries mean young parents will let their kids play instead of only letting them play soccer. I have been saying that on these boards for years
2. Two bad calls now should mean the NFL will step in and make that some type of a reviewable penalty like college does the targeting rule.
All this is good for football!!

You are full of shit. Damn are we that damn soft now? Good? It is miserable and ruins the game. That is a sack. That is part of the game.
Did you ever play football?
According to their retired ref in the booth he said due to the new rules (allegedly since Tua last week) using your full body weight is roughing.
Then you can’t tackle the ****er at all. Gives running QB’s a huge help
According to the ref they call on during braodcasts he said this was happening because the NFL has decided to call it. They're over correcting from Tua.
My opinion, if your wanting paid millions should be able to take the hit and quit acting like your owed something…
Tua didn’t help himself by throwing himself backwards trying to escape the tackle, only added to the momentum…

I was roughed up worse than that when I had my prostate exam.....
Aikman was 100% correct. We live in a world of snowflakes!!

Troy Aikman Criticized After Controversial Comment During Chiefs-Raiders Game
The broadcaster’s statement was in response to a perplexing roughing the passer call during the contest.
I am not much into to Pro sports anymore. They are all prima donnas getting rich off the fans dollars.
Prefer college sports - but that is now being tainted.

It's the people that have never played that want to dictate how the game is played. We see that in other aspects of things that go on in this world, but I cannot get into any of that. Follow my handle on Pullman Square for further insights.
I see it in a lot of things in our world.
I warned of this right on these forums years ago and here we are.
My question here is... How do you tackle a player, QB or otherwise, without --
1. Touching the "head or neck area"
2. Helmet to helmet contact
3. Touching the knee or below
4. Using your body weight
That play in the Chiefs game last night was the absolute definition of a form tackle... Led with the shoulder, didn't leave his feet, no contact to the head or neck, no contact below the knee... Ran through the player, wrapped up, finished the tackle... If that is "roughing" then every tackle in the course of the game is roughing.
IMHO,
- The NFL got all woke about CTE or whatever it’s called and developed this “concussion protocol”.
- The Dolphins cheated in that protocol when Tua, who is a fragile athlete and probably will have a short career should have been taken out of the Baltimore game.
- Tua got a solid legal tackle in the Cincinnati game and it caused him to have a seizure.
- The NFL panicked and came up with a ridiculous rule that pretty much makes tackling the QB illegal now. Clear examples not only in the KC-LV game, but also in the Tampa game, with of course Brady getting the benefit of the bad call, as always.
Solution? Pretty simple, really. Football is dangerous. Don’t want to risk it? Don’t play. Pay for your own college, and then find a job afterward which will not involve fame, super-models and 7 figure paychecks. Doesn’t sound good to you? Want the benefits of football? Great. Put your helmet on and get your ass out on the field.

All of this...
At the end of the day, there are a lot of jobs in the world that are potentially dangerous where those employees make significantly less than the NFL minimum. If you sign up to play in the NFL, and sign a contract to do so, you assume some risk of physical injury.
If sacking the Quarterback is now illegal (as it appears to be) just tell everyone that and put an orange jersey on him.
Interestingly enough, I was watching the Baltimore-Cinci game on Sunday night and there was a really good example of what the NFL wants when it comes to QBs... Jason Pierre Paul juked the tackle and had a full-speed shot at Joe Burrow. A hit that would have been huge. He literally stopped, stutter stepped, then grabbed Burrow around the shoulders and dragged him to the ground "nicely." I was sitting in my living room thinking "What the heck was that?" Now I know JPP was making the smart play by not drilling Burrow full speed (as Im sure he and other defensive players have been warned).
The NFL’s QB rules are in place because the owner’s have a quarter of a billion dollars invested in these guys. They want them protected. I’m not a fan of it either, but I understand it.
But like Aaron said, a lot of these rules are in place to save the game. Not ruin it. If it makes it unwatchable for you, then go watch MMA. You’ll see some knockouts for sure.
Just in the NFL, 32 teams:
-Russell Wilson is supposedly getting shot up to play because of a partially torn lat.
-SF is on their backup QB because their started got his ankle ripped up.
-Dallas is on #2 because their QB broke his hand.
-Chargers’ QB gets shot up weekly to play because of a rib fracture
-Dolphins are going on QB #3.
-Patriots are going on QB #3.
-The Jets started the season with their backup because their QB started the season on IR
-Saints are on their backups because Jameis Winston has 4 fractures in his back
25% of NFL teams have QB injuries WITH all of these rules to protect QBs…and we’re only 1 month into the season. We’re going to be watching a game in Huntington tomorrow night with questions about our starter’s health and our opponent’s QB is out. These conversations about “flag football” are rather humorous.

Just like the older crowds say we have to change the way kids learn because it’s just not good enough….. think about that for a minute…. Just sayin
Then don’t invest in a quarter billion players. They created their monster.
That’s the market for the position.
Salary cap keeps going up because the owners are raking it in & tv money is exploding. The players deserve their cut. The QB position is the most important position in sports. Owners want their investments protected.
Have you been on any social media? Kids today(most) are complete idiots that have to be told not to drink bleach, not eat Tide pods, or to cook chicken with Nyquil.

Yea that amazes me how stupid people are all for the gaining likes on some dumb social media site. I know each older generation says the younger generation is stupid, but actually is truer today than at any other time. Sadly it really isn't just relegated to the youth.
Topics you would think would be common knowledge are just completely lost on most people today.
I'm not giving your post any thought whatsoever. I know when I'm being baited, and I promised to abide by the rules of the land laid out within the sticky thread. In other words, I'm an outstanding citizen that breaks no laws.
That's part of the game. But, there is no doubt the game is getting softer, especially in the NFL.
The rules for the qb have gone too far. At some point, you are either playing a contact sport or not. If they feel that way about the quarterbacks, just enforce a no hit rule on the qub and if you get in a certain area of them then they are down. No hits on the qb.
It is getting ridiculous.
entrapment warning. If you want to talk about our schools then go to Pullman Square.
No entrapment meant.. I’ll get off the high horse before it start down that road .. sorry
Go Herd!!
