The refs and new rules are killing this game!

I will bleed black and gold until I die but it is getting ridiculous to watch football. It's hard to get excited anymore because you are just waiting for a flag to come out. I am truly frustrated with the game.

Roughing the passer is atrocious.

WHODAT ANYWAY!

Yep. Targeting rules in NCAA aren't causing much problem, yet the NFL can't get it right. Sad!

I didn’t see much of a problem today comparatively speaking.

Agreed, and I was concerned because I read somewhere our crew today has been throwing the most roughing the passer flags so far, but seemed to be a non-issue today, thankfully.

And I saw a couple of non incidental helmet to helmet hits with no call. In the offseason they made it sound like they would call it on linemen who accidentally bumped heads while blocking.
The bark was definitely bigger than the bite.

Yeah but we can all see what's happening around the league. It may not have effected us this game but what about the next. Look at the offenses around the league. Throwing for 400 yards is becoming the norm and IMO that is a direct correlation to the leagues effort to not let QB's get touched. Its pretty crappy to be honest, and the days of aggressive defense is fading away.

I think it allows the NFL to script the outcome of the season using the refs. It enables them to put the teams that draw the highest TV ratings in the best position to win. Between the way they schedule some of these Thursday night games and the refs they can put just about any team they want in the playoffs.

Yep. My wife who really isn't a football fan gets all upset that it's like watching the WWF.
