I have been watching the NFL since late sixties and a Dolphins fan since 1970. I absolutely love football both college and professional. I live and die with the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Volunteers. The NFL is on a path to destroy itself. The rules have progressively put the defense at a total disadvantage for years. Now we have spotters at the game with binoculars looking for signs of concussion and referees overreacting and throwing flags on great defense plays on quarterback sacks. The roughing the quarterback calls involving Brady and Carr are a total embarrassment to the game. If concussion spotters and overreacting referees are going to determine the outcome of games then the NFL becomes professional wrestling. NFL get your act together.

Yea I kind of agree… teddy looked fine and the Carr sack was textbook…
The issue with the refs is, there a union and to get oversight or better or different officiating rules is hard if it reduces the amount of refs needed…
Like that carr sack, why can’t the crew that confirms TDs also say, nope…
And ****, do that for every call…
But then It becomes where do you draw the line…
How about it’s drawn with every call being correct…
Cmon, these calls can be reviewed before the ref goes to announce it to the stadium…
But the refs and the union are saying no, I don’t want someone over my shoulder like that… if that’s the case, why even have me out there…yada yada yada

While I agree with you, there are other threads that say the exact same thing; this did not need to be it's own thread.

NFL was already unwatchable to me, but you are correct.
Sorry in future I will run my threads by you for approval before I post just an oversight on my part didn’t know you in charge of threads.

I don't disagree. For me, it really depends on whose playing & whose announcing.
Case in point... Denver, Beefalo & putzburgh. Then, we have Collinsworth, Joe Buck, & Romo/Nantz
p.s. Jim Nantz should stick to college hoops and golf... Sh** that doesn't matter

Becoming?
Somebody if I could implement one rule to help the NFL what would it be? I said I'd make spearing legal again.

I could get behind this if there was a "target range" similar to MLB's strike zone.
Otherwise, it IMO is a slippery slope to allow spearing on the whole body. Yet, having suplexes and bodyslams be verboten.

I are smartter then you
You're years behind , NFL has been WWE for decades.
They just make it more obvious now because they've dumbed down society so much.
It's entertainment. Not competition.

Nantz and Romo are excellent.
