Chiefs The Peyton Manning rule...what did you think?

**petegz28** · 08-08-2014, 08:19 AM

What did you think of the Princess Pey-Pey rule last night? I realize it was a pre-season game but I think they called 6+ defensive holds or the like, including those that were declined

It sucks. Seattle's starters gained more yards from penalties than they did actual yards.

**Gonzo** · 08-08-2014, 08:24 AM

It's really starting to spoil the game. Too much offense is watering down the product. The average score per game will increase this year by 10 points, at least.

I miss the days of defensive battles.

League was supposed to emphasize it for both sides of the ball. I doubt anyone is surprised that defenses were gettin hammered by it

I hated watching it, but I'm stoked to see how many fantasy pts I'll rack up this year.

We all know this is the direct result of Prince Peyton having his shit kicked in, in what was supposed to be "his moment". No one said anything about previous defenses who dominated, like Baltimore, etc. But once the Golden Boy got embarrassed then it was time for a change.

Can't wait till that ****er is gone but of course the NFL will appoint another golden boy like Luck to take his place.

I'm pretty sure it was only called against us. So as far as I can tell, we're just looking for an excuse not to complain that our secondary is going to get us slaughtered this year.

**LoneWolf** · 08-08-2014, 08:48 AM

I know we saw a lot of penalties in the game last night, but as I look at the other pregame scores it doesn't look like all the games saw a huge spike in scoring. Does anyone know if there were as many flags in the other games for defensive holding?

They passed a lot more than we did...thus the opportunity for calls more against us

I just saw where there were 25 flags in the Denver/Seattle game but sorry don't know how many were defensive holding.

I disagree. They are trying to enforce the existing rule, and if the NFL wanted Peyton to have his moment they would make it happen without having to do this. This enforcement really benefits people like Alex Smith.

What, exactly, would the NFL have to do to prop up Manning other than to assure his WRs have more space?
