HF's Villain
Antwoine Williams actually got fined for that sack on Kessler last week.
Just put flags on the QBs already and be done with. What a joke.

I'd take those numbers with a grain of salt when it comes to the NFL reporting concussionsI just googled
A study, done in 2012, showed that the concussion rate per 1,000 player hours is 3.9 in professional Rugby union, 1.2 in amateur Rugby union, and 0.2 in the NFL.
so, never mind )
What a joke this "Putting weight into QB" nonsense is becoming
Just put flags on them already
Only 9 helmet violations called with all 32 teams in action this weekend. The overflagging seems to be over.
Weren't the Bills nailed for one late to make it 10? Granted I don't blame the defender because the runner basically stopped and you can't do much about him giving himself up late.
Yeah not like players have been hitting low since the NFL started. Another thing to whine about I guess.
Call on Clay Matthews today was absolute abomination
This QB rule is garbage
Yep. It's too much like the awful "intended to blow the whistle" nonsense in the NHL.The issue to me is that the call is up to the refs discretion. So one week that won't be flagged, the next week it might. Depending on the official. You'll know when a QB is lifted and driven into the turf. That wasn't it.
I wish there was a fix. Maybe just focus on the collarbone crushing shoulder drive thing.QB rule is joke
It needs to end immediately
The McCoy one last night was worse.The Matthews hit on Smith was one of the worst penalties I've ever seen, by no means was it roughing a passer
That's just a normal sack
The McCoy one last night was worse.
It takes 1 good QB too get hurt and changes get made. Brady gets a torn ACL when a blitzing safety ends up going low on his knees and we have that rule. Rodgers breaks his collarbone on a driving tackle and we get this enforced rule.The concept to make football better is simple.... make rules as objective as possible, not subjective to a ref's whims. That's the issue that most fans have with officiating, not that something is against the rules but that something is sometimes called and other times not called.
Along with being a rule that makes just simply playing defense even more difficult, that's a core issue with these rules. You can standardize late hits or rules against blows to the head, but the stuff that the NFL has done as of late is basically done nothing except add more grey areas to the equation to the betterment of nothing. Making previously good clean tackles against the rules is idiotic by itself, the implementation is even more so.
