Take a look at your boy Tom Brady. He’s at as much fault as Bill Polian for ruining football. One guy get’s his ACL torn on a routine play, and now defenders have to turn into MLB pitchers and have a strike zone where they will be fined if they brush against a QB.

———————————————————-

Really? It’s all Brady’s fault? You give far too much credit to Tom or is it you are too hung up on him?

Gotta love the Hines Ward hate. You guys never had a problem when it was defenders doing the de-cleating. But Hines turns the tables and you guys get all bent out of shape. What’s he supposed to do? Stop and wait for the defender to notice him? Ask permission to please make a block?

Go back to playing Madden and leave the football discussion to those of us have actually played competitive football.

Too bad Hines Ward never got warned. One of the dirtiest players to ever wear a uniform in the NFL.

Make sure they tell the crackback instructor, Hiney Ward about this. He’s the coward’s coward.

I understand the league is going to put a 4 inch band around the uniform that will be the only legal area that the defense can touch while tackling the opponent. This will be above the waist and below the nipples.

Can anyone from the league confirm whether Anquan Boldin got the memo?

How about an emphasis for the officials not to call mysterious offensive pi calls like they did in the bears packers game? Let them play !! And let them block!

Fair is fair glad to see the league use good judgement sometimes.

South Park was right. Sarcastaball. Pretty soon instead of throwing blocks, offensive players will be encouraged to hug defensive players instead of engaging in any kind of violent action.

And funny how it’s always the Ravens defenders who are on the receiving end of these blocks. Keep your heads on a swivel boys.
