Soon QB’s will be wearing flags to avoid injuries.
We’ve entered the pussy era in football. Football is under attack & soon it will be much like flag football. Football is nothing like it was in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s & 90’s. If it wasn’t for Mahomes I could take it or leave it. |

Well, if the NFL actually makes this a new policy, I'll be done with the NFL
I assume they'll loosen up on it when the season starts... |

They’d better if they want to keep me interested. This preseason was god awful to watch. If the regular season is like that...I’m done. I hope the XFL isn’t run by a bunch of pansy asses. |

I know this isn't the first time a rule has been added that decreases the physicality, but this rule is so far in the gray and the interpretation of it will be so different between refs. The players will have to adapt, but those adaptations are going to lead to a significant decrease in sack numbers.

That Kpass sack that got taken away was beautiful. If we lose that kind of action, football is going to quickly get boring.

Gee another anti-defense rule. Color me shocked!
I'll say again, the defense needs their own union. Sent from my 9+ using Tapatalk |

QB should just be 2 hand touch below the waist and we are golden. We could also have games where if one team has a way better QB, he can just be all-time QB to even things out. Maybe we can do spaces or laces instead of a coin toss? |

It's going to be alot harder to hit a QB. Defenders already cannot hit at or below the knee and can't hit up around the head or neck. The region they are left with leaves them to drive through the player to bring him down. Landing on the player is almost inevitable. I can see pile driving the guy, but hits like Kpass' should not be included. They basically want defenders to grab a QB around the waist and twist and roll him down. That's a tall task. I think the penalties are going to pile up this year and it's going to be an easy tool for refs to change outcomes. Not a fan.

I'd honestly be done if it wasn't for Mahomes. A few years ago I basically watched games noon till 10pm burning a hole in the controller flipping through on Sunday ticket.. Now I'll be watch the Chiefs and that's basically it other than laughing at Denver's pitiful roster a few times. Between practice time being limited causing horrible play, subjective officiating, and terrible new rules every year that are NEVER called consistently...my interest dwindles every year.
