****Super Bowl LV Thread****

Montana played under different rules too because of the rule changes of 1978.
Not nearly to the benificial extent of that QBs today enjoy.

DBs were still allowed to play, and QBs were planted into the turf on a regular basis.

You already knew that though.
 
Tampa wr , Antonio brown, evans, Godwin, I mean you can’t stop that plus gronk etc.... it’s going to come down to whose defense will hold better. I pick Tampa defense, their way better then kc. Star players all over the field. Devon white, suh, Pierre Paul etc...

What I know is that the rule changes of 1978 impacted NFL offenses significantly more so than any other rule changes since. It restricted contact beyond 5 yards dow the field, so no DB's and specifically Mel Blount was no longer allowed to mug WR's all over the field and it allowed offensive lineman to extend their arms and open their hands. Those 2 rules changed the NFL and passing became easier.
