Defenses did good last season I admit, but there were a lot of injuries to QBs so that may have played a part. But there are no dominant defenses anymore, just good ones. JJ Watt and plenty of other players have made statements echoing what I am saying so lets try and be objective here and realize if the NFL continues in this direction, defenses will continue to get worse. There should be more of a balance with these rule changes, that's all I'm saying. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...rop-tackle-ban Last edited by PAChiefsGuy; 03-25-2024 at 06:26 PM.. |

I can't be the only one constantly reading it as "NFL likely banning hip hop tackle", right??

Already is as far as I'm concerned it's ridiculous and you got chicks refereeing the game that never played.

Of course the players aren’t gonna like it. Neither side wants to soften the game. No player wants an independent doctor to dictate if they can play through a concussion or not. Players also don’t like targeting or roughing the passer calls. Too bad. Knocking players out of the game isn’t a strategy and players need to coach to find safer ways to tackle players.they won’t do it on their own so this forces their hand to figure something out. I know you’re trying to hedge on defensive performance but last year was an outstanding year for defenses. And that includes the playoffs with healthy QBs. So the talk about the demise of defense is overblown. Defenses will adapt just as they have for all the roughing and targeting rules |

Look, I'd be fine with the rule IF NFL officiating was consistent, they didn't swing COUNTLESS results on bogus penalties, they didn't "target" certain guys that Collinsworth embarrassed the officials over, or if they called what they saw not what they WANTED to see....PERIOD

No shit. We should keep Hardman now; with his speed he could draw 2-4 flags a game. "unweight him"? Just what exactly does that mean? God, I hate the NFL rules committee. Fml. |

Um, how long you been watching football? Because it's always been a strategy, since about 100 years ago. Hell, it was a strategy in HS when I put on a uniform. |

The likelihood of avoidable injury is way worse for offense players. And that is not something you want to incentivize in a game where a single qb is so damn important that that injury alone can destroy a whole season. |

But this is why you put this in the hands of the players union especially if fines are involved. Put it in their hands to blast apart the owners proposal. Then meet somewhere in the middle. And while you do that fix officiating. At least this comes in exchange (probably) with making more penalties reviewable so I think the league gets the message that this is a sensitive topic |

Oh, I'm pretty sure fines are a great way to alter how players play the game. Watch any game from the 1980s/1990s and how defenses react to QBs running the ball vs. how they play now. Alot of your ordinary LBs/DLs don't make tens of millions of dollars; those fines make a difference in their take-home pay pretty quickly. |
