I feel bad for defenders. They can't do anything anymore.
i love this rant!!! well said - especially the part about having to hold your breathe for 5-10 after a great defensive play.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!!
i wish this wasn't the case - eg, the TV ratings. I love a 24-21 game but when it's 52-28 no way I'm watching the whole game unless it's Miami playing.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.
If everything is so easy for QBs why does it take our QB 3 games or 4 game stretch to throw
the same 6 TDs ?

and instead of going for 7 he chose to run it in on the last one thinking it would be selfish and classless to so blatantly go for the record. Today, teams game plan to get the records if the situation presents itself. I can't help but think that's all influenced by the NFL itself rather than the coaches etx.Bob Griese threw 6 on thanksgiving day 1977.
i hear you but the number of 5,6 TD games by QBs must be off the charts by comparison, no?Meh. Offenses have always had the upper hand since the beginning of the game. Defenses have always had to play catch up. The rules were recently changed in favor of the offenses and it will take a few years for defenses to follow. Nothing new here really.
QB's that have thrown for the NFL record 7 TD's & the year they accomplished the feat.
