Let's ****ing go

Try it again: By the way, the Mecole Hardman safety should not have been ruled safety. It should have been a touchback, per Andy Reid/official afterwards. The ball landed in the end zone. That's a dead ball once it's touched/downed after it does so*

Some of y'all need to apologize to Hardman . Dude played it perfectly.

"Justice for Mecole."

So apparently this was not a "Mecole moment" and our guy actually did do the right thing and was paying attention.

Good for him.

I thought so, but the rules are so confusing now, so wasn't sure. Terrible rule change. Belongs in the XFL, not the NFL.

Didn’t Justyn Ross make a great catch. Brown will be fine and who cares about a meaningless safety.

It was a boring play.

Thats not allowed anymore. Those going over the middle these days have speed. Chenal is a throwback to those days. We need Gay's speed but more talent in the position.

Well, we kind of figured there'd be some screw ups with the new kickoff rules. just have to see if the refs get themselves sorted before the season starts.

And to have exciting returns back in the game. They're trying to have it both ways and coming up with stupid rules to do it.
