I really didn't know what forum to put this in but I had to get this off my chest,along with getting some feedback from you guys on the "New NFL",with these F#*ing "helmet to helmet" penalties. This game is getting ruined by these bullshit calls that can change the outcome of a game and take big money out of the pockets of players that are JUST DOING THEIR JOB! You tell me if either of the 2 penalties that were called on us last night was warrented? Anyone who has ever played football has been tought to keep your head up and aim for the #'s when making a tackle. Now,not only are they calling "helmet to helmet" contact but now they are calling penalties when you hit a guy ANYWHERE with your helmet!!!!!! I'm sure i'm not expressing myself exactely how i'd like to writing this but i'm sure you guys get where i'm coming from.IMO,this game is getting BUTCHERED by these new rules and it's killing the sport! What's next, NASCAR putting a 55MPH speed limit on the racetracks in the name of safety? We all know this is a dangerous sport. We know the risks involved with playing this game,but if you ask me players will have more of a chance of getting hurt thinking on every play rather then reacting and playing the game like we've been thought since PEE WEE F*@king football!
I got news for you...it's only going to get worse as we start to play teams with "Prima Donna QBs...can you imagine if we even come close to messing up Tom Brady's hair...that's going to be 15 yard penalty vs roughing the passer there.
I honestly think the NFL wants the Jets to lose for whatever reason. They just come up with reason to penalize us.
I don't think everybody knew the risks involved when they started playing. I think the new findings of what helmet to helmet hits do to the brain is going to change everything
