That march will happen a hell of a lot faster so long as we have this massive player safety problem. Keeping players on the field is one of the most important things the nfl needs to solve.

They need to just skip the evolution and jump straight to taking the pads off and putting flags in their pockets. Either that or build some robots to take the role of the players. Talk about Bot Wars!!

The mere thought of laying a fingernail on Tom Terrific should draw a fine!

Maybe I'm alone in this, but it's gotten to the point where Hard Hits highlights make me cringe. That Vontaze Burfict hit on Antonio Brown two years ago for me was really difficult to watch.

And I could not stand watching the Chiefs lose player after player to concussion in the Colts playoff game a few years ago.

I don't know why the NFL would get any worse if players would just form tackle instead of carelessly launching themselves into each other.

I have always hated the college rule, I feel like the play should be reviewed for intent. There is a difference between a helmet to helmet hit because the Receiver falls and a player launching themselves into another player.

Just like in basketball officials go to the monitor to determine if a foul is flagrant I think they should do the same here. I don't think every penalty should be an ejection.

If this happened in 2017, Sheldon Brown would likely get suspended for a week and some ridiculous fine. That said, this is a completely legal hit and tackle -

None of these rules will apply to the Broncos.

There have been way too many flags thrown for a receiver who was hit helmet to helmet, and then the replay afterward shows it was shoulder to shoulder, or the contact between helmets was incidental to the actual collision. And there are more situations where the contact was unavoidable.

Since the NFL just desires to slow down games and create more situations where nobody knows what the rules are, I'm certain this will go over like a fart in a spacesuit
100% right.

I imagine they consider it an honor to be one of the three AFC teams that have to win regularly for the overall good of the league.

I usually hate subjective officiating. But the biggest disaster is how many games and seasons are influenced by players getting knocked out of games or seasons. The nfl is getting uncomfortable to watch. I don't want a team to win the Super Bowl because they were lucky enough to keep a qb healthy. And a 15 yard penalty means nothing if the offense loses a star player to a concussion, while the defensive player stays in the game.

Targeting rules will be uncomfortable. But they're needed more than ever. Buehlers idea makes the most sense. If you knock a player out with an illegal hit, you should sit out an equal number of snaps.
Teams could still send in hitmen

So hockey methodologies with goons becoming part of the NFL.

This

Like when the refs took Charles out the Indy game for concussion protocol

Inconsistent interpretation is just another way for officials to influence game outcomes
