I seriously am getting really close to not wanting to watch the sport anymore. I know a lot of fans complain and say stuff like this but I really am getting to that point.

jetsjetsjetss Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 its getting what the nfl wants. Completely taking away the running game and making pass the only viable option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaJetsFan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 its getting what the nfl wants. Completely taking away the running game and making pass the only viable option I'm pretty sure we already have that - it's called "Arena Football" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 So what's your thoughts on the lame rule change? My first thought is they are going to need more refs on the field than players soon. The subjectivity of this rule will result in a lot of games being decided by the ref or they will never call it. In short... SUCKS BALLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is I don't really remember the XFL except players talking with cheerleaders during the game? If this pussification persist we may see the day another league comes in and over takes the NFL.

JustInFudge Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 yeah. Listening to Jeff Fisher trying to explain it is only making it worse...imo. Holy sh*t. You've got to be kidding me. I thought for sure this would never get passed. Horrible. Why even have a RB? The entire game is being tailored for passing, these guys now arent allowed to blow back? Unreal. What kid wants to be a RB nowadays? How does this change the draft stock of a player like Lacy who is this type of runner? The NFL is turning into the WWF.

If this pussification persist we may see the day another league comes in and over takes the NFL. the XFL had some great rules i.e. the punting team can recover a punt if it travels 25 yards from LOS and overtime was great....say team A scores on 5 possessions then team B gets 5 possessions or less to score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 for all the people who hate this rule (and I don't like it either), the other side is you'd crap if you saw the slate of litigation directed at the NFL right now. this league is honestly, no exaggeration, at risk of being sued out of existence. The league has to make moves now that the science is apparent. It's a risky activity and they have to either make it safer or close up shop. Continuing with status quo is not an option. Alot of this comes down as "oh screw that Goodell" but it's way bigger than 1 person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a hope but it's not clear that technology will save this game. I don't think we can say extremist pussies in the light of Junior Seau and Dave Duerson type tragedies. guys are literally dying.
