clownorg Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I'm not sure this is good news, but then again I'm a fan of the Game he's trying to change.A guy like Scott Case or Ronnie Lott couldn't exist in today's NFL with all the "Pansy" rule changes.I hope he doesn't fine ME for posting that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalcon Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Newest item in NFL Shop will be team colored flags and belts for the NFFL...National Flag Football League...I agree that a guy like Case, Lott, Cecil, Lambert, Nitchzke (sp?), and Bednarik wouldn't last a week nowadays.

Voice of Reason Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I didn't mind Goodell's attempts to clean the game up - as in off the field troubles. I felt the NFL had an obligation to try and police it's players into being more responsible citizens. No problem with his stance on Pacman, Henry, Vick, Tank. You name it. I was behind him 100 percent.But this bullsh!t he's pulling now is truly ruining this game. Trying to change the way the game is played is absolutely going to destroy the game I love.I don't care about so-called cheapshots at player's going across the middle. Are you freakin kidding me? That's the way I was taught to play the game as a defensive player. I was also taught as an offensive player to keep my head on a swivel, and to find the hole (or soft spot) in a zone and "sit" for the ball (not run through the zone - which will get you lit up).Goodell was justified in cleaning the off-field stuff up. He's totally gone "tyrant" with him trying to change the game itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol'_dirty2 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 McKay would be next in line probably if he was interested. Roger is a little power hungry. This is probably not good. Safety will become EVEN more of a premium concern now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbyr Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 He got the CBA extended for a long time, that's good.He's trying to change the game to line the owner's pockets. That's bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFalcon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Safety will become EVEN more of a premium concern now.I have no problem with putting a premium on player safety, the problem is that the officials are going a little too far with what IS and what ISN'T considered a dirty hit. It's football, it's a collision sport. That's why they have helmets and shoulder pads. The way I see it is they are trying to make the NFL as high a scoring as the NBA, nobody wants that. Honestly, I prefer a good defensive struggle. I prefer a low scoring affair.The rules they are putting in place now are mirroring how our society as a whole is becoming soft. When my parents grew up (50s-60s) they knew what hard work was, they knew what discipline was, they knew the pride of working for an honest dollar. Kids (and NFL players) nowadays think they are just owed any and everything. Personally, I like what the late JoePa said about helmet to helmet hits."Take the facemask off the helmets, and see if they go helmet to helmet then."
