Ryan Fitzpatrick just threw *6 TDs today. SIX! The same personal best for Marino and more than Elway, Moon or Bradshaw. Rothelisberger did it in back-to-back weeks last month, while still only a few weeks removed from Rodgers throwing 6...IN A HALF!

(*That's twice as many as Tanny's personal best.)

its funny - I had a similar thought about fizt. This is what the NFL wanted. I feel they've messed w the game too much. This is why I don't get excited over who's throwing for 4,000 yards or 30 TDs or this guy only has 2 INTs to go w 22 TDs over his last 7 games etc. The passing stats will continue to get stupid. Elway never threw 6? Marino only threw 6? I guess Fitzpatrick should be in the conversation w those guys. Pathetic - if I didn't grow up a rabid football fan I don't think I would be one now. But alas, I'm watching every Sunday no matter how much I think the game has been tweaked with too much.
 
Meh........it just makes what the greats of yesteryear did all the more impressive and adds to their legacy as all time greats.
 
There does seem to be more blowouts this year than in most years...

If that continues, especially in the super bowl, I think the NFL will have no choice but to roll back some of the rules that help the offensive players so much

I agree. In yesteryears nfl Fitzpatrick is a third stringer who never sniffed the field and Matt Flynn is a practice squader
 
welcome to the biggest ****ing douchebag to be involved with the nfl version of ''football'' today, that of course being roger mother ****er goodell.

a league in which u can no longer look, cough, sneeze, or touch the qb without being flagged for it.

a league in which defensive backs are not allowed to touch a wr or look at a wr the wrong way.

a league in which no fan can actually fully enjoy a big play on defense without having to hold there breathes for 5-10 seconds making sure there is no flag , bc god forbid there was a slight amount of contact, must throw the flag.

thats goodells version of fantasy football being played in the regular nfl these days.

that is why when people bring up these stats of any qbs, including ours, i dont get as excited as i used to, because every single qbs numbers r being inflated by these ****ing rules, as well as wrs numbers.

all there is to know, is that marinos record of throwing for 48 tds in a season, and the 5000 yds in a season all were ''coincidentally'' broken the moment these rules were put in to place. heck, i think like 4-5 qbs have thrown for 5000 yds since the new rules have been put in place, as to where only marino had been the only one to do it for like 27 years i believe.

**** U ROGER GOODELL!!

Dan would throw 10 TD's in a game with today's rules.
 
I swear it seems like if Goodell could have his way, it'd be the NFFL...National Flag Football League.
 
The game is evolving whether we like it or not! But seriously Fitzpatrick?! Lol

I have cut way down on my viewing. I have watched alot this weekend & it feels like I'm wasting time. The rules do play a part as does how the game is marketed.

Lets not forget the 21st century selfie generating, facebook posting, hip hop mindset of celebrating for doing something routine. Last, the media determining who is dominant. As I said earlier, how long have we had to tolerate NE, denver, potsburgh, & Indy as AFC royalty?

If the NFL wanted to do something simple yet tangible to start; they should fix half time entertainment at the SB. Moses on motorbike... other than stealers players & 9 yo girls who really gives a &%^*!@+%% about Katy Perry?
 
Goodell has stacked the deck in favor of the Offense because they can get better TV ratings from spectacular offensive plays and the higher focus on player safety reduces the risk of big payouts from injury and litigation.
