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! |

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

Re: The refs and new rules are killing this game!
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.

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