This game is getting harder to watch more and more every year. Bad enough, having women referees, let alone all of the rule changes and hamstringing defenses in those rule changes for the most part.
The only rules I will agree with is helmet to helmet, o-linemen protection of engagement of only 1 person, negating chop blocks, sacking QBs below the waist and blindside hitting defensless players not involved in the play. However conversely, I have never liked the horse collar rule, regardless of how many knee injuries have occurred. Weird I know, but just never liked that particular rule. Too old school, I get it.

Lol, watch any Barry Sanders reel; it’s almost all horse collars. He’d have another 2000 yds and 30 TDs if that rule had been in place in the ‘90s.
And yeah the strike zone on QBs is ludicrous. As is the “can’t fall on the QB with your full weight.”
I’m fairly sure that once Pat retires I’ll stop watching the NFL, same as I stopped watching the NBA after MJ left. And as I’m quickly losing interest in MLB now that Yadi is gone.
The game is trending towards something that doesn’t really resemble the game I grew up watching and the version it’s becoming won’t be worth my attention once Mahomes hangs them up.
Probably for the best; will mean a lot more time for fly-fishing.
