Remember that Sunday night game last season,Brady vs. Manning and that "unbelieveable" comeback.

I dont think the offenses in this league need any more help in that regard.

It seems to me this "new" NFL favors the idea of trying to get a young, high profile QB EVEN MORE. |

Same, but with the NHL. The Avs got knocked out in the first round of the playoffs last year after being shit for years (sound familiar?). The difference is that I had a GREAT time watching hockey, where I always just feel irritated after an NFL season.

The NFL makes some curious business decisions. I am all for making the game safer, but stuff like this is just ruining the product. The league is at an all-time high for popularity, but I foresee a steep decrease occurring at some point within the next 10 years. It's just stupid.
And Goodell is a total douche. Fans hate him. Players hate him. Hell, even some owners don't like the guy. Why does he have his job, again?

In two years we can have Johnny Football when Cleveland implodes again.

So I guess the Cheating Donks get to run illegal pick plays the whole game. If the defensive backs actually manage to stop them-the refs will back them up with a flag. Pretty much how they did it last year when manning was handed all the passing records, except now the NFL is coming right our and saying it.
The refs will let the Oline hold to protect manning and the back end will make sure to flag plays that he doesn't manage to complete. Sounds pretty fair. They are sending Manning off with a SB win and MVP no matter what the cost. Must be nice to be a donk fan and have it handed to you. Manning has been protected his whole career and I think that is the main reason most people hate him. He has pretty much ruined the legitimacy of the game. |

Another angle to consider - the NFL is not so subtly trying to stop encouraging contact, hard hits and such, down the field. I understand this is an illegal contact issue and not an unnecessary roughness issue, but this is a way to start to "train" defenses on how to act and not to act. If receivers aren't being what the league now views as "illegally contacted" down the field because defenders have it in their mind that they can't touch them, then concussions from blasts over the middle will theoretically be down as well, and the NFL likes that because it won't have to fork out millions in settlements once again down the road.
Whenever changes like this take place for a product such as the NFL, money is 99.9% of the reason for it. |

Then throw in how the NFL has changed, all the damn commercials, all the stoppages of play and it has just become not a fun product to watch. |
