How about a topic that doesn’t end up talking about the same thing within 5 posts over and over.....yea that part of the year...
It’s impossible, and gives the refs way to much power in the outcome of games, which they already had anyway! It’s getting crazy with all these rules...It’s football. It’s their choice to play, just like say boxing..I reckon they should make boxers wear their head gear now too! I think this is about money in some type of way. Like it always is about everything.Football isn't going to be much fun this season. I get what they're trying to do, though. However, it's not going to work.
I watched the Hall of Fame game (first preseason game) and thought exactly the same thing. There were several helmet rule calls I thought were very questionable. There were also some "catches" that did not meet the eye test either. How the NFL continues to make rules that make the game less watchable is beyond me. It is disheartening to me because I love professional football. The helmet thing is a real issue, but they cannot find a solution that actually makes sense.Football isn't going to be much fun this season. I get what they're trying to do, though.

I guess that could help with the clogging , and the freak falling on people’s legs injuries . That sort of stuff. Kinda opens it up some. Not sure that effects the head . I just don’t understand it. They think football will be banned because of unfortunate head problems down the road? I guess boxing will end soon too then. I just don’t understand . By them saying they’re protecting their game and player safety. I get the safety part , but protecting their game down the road?? Protecting their pockets......I agree it's gonna be painful to watch for the next couple of seasons, but I would like football to exist in 2040, and taking safety measures like this seems to be the only way to make football last.
I've said for years though that another fix is to widen the field by about 10 yards. Guys are bigger and stronger than ever, you have defensive ends who can run 4.4's now, widen the dang field and there will be less injuries.
