Where is Bernard Pillard when you need him.

Oh Jesus.

Didn’t know I could dislike someone more, but here we are.

I am nominating that hero for every HOF.

Pathetic.

He must have something on the media because no one calls him out on it.

He loses one WR and he wants a rule change.

Because that is what a real GOAT QB would do.

Pollard should have went for the head.

For every wish Tom is granted "in the name of player safety" (that just happens to make it harder to play defense), defenses should be granted two "rules" they'd like (and call it player safety).

Fornette joins Godwin on IR but could return.

Shaping up to be a potential WC round loss for Pedo Tom.

Here is the play in question. I had never seen this before today. It's hard to tell if he grabs him by the pads on the back/side or if it's just the jersey. Either way, I think White was bush league for grabbing him where he did. Even if it's just jersey, it's still the same effect and still against the spirit of the rule, IMO.

Like Johnny Depp; You. Are. Old. Now. The hair is an embarrassment tommy. "Fivehead" is taken, relax bitch!

Brady is such weak ass. He gets pissed off when he loses way too much. Its not like he has lost much in his career and losing 1 wr on his super team means change everything. Total punk. They changed the QB rule just because of him and that's not enough for him. He certainly would have said nothing if it was his opponent that lost a WR in that fashion. Not one word.

He developed his morals at the same high school that Barry Bonds attended. It’s likely why their careers have so many similarities.

Did Tom whine for rule changes when other teams lost critical players and he was able to win against those teams over the past 20 years?

And it's not like they called the Chargers for a single time they went for Pat's knees (review the Kelce tying touchdown for one example).

The Brady rule is apparently exclusive to Brady.

If things work out for the Saints and they make the WC.. They could see the Bucs again.

Sure Patriots were helped at times by other teams missing players or other players a shell of themselves due to injury. Every Super Bowl team benefits from injuries to opponents. It is the nature of the sport. But similar injuries hurt the Patriots and he even lost valuable players to off the field incidents.

With the Bucs at least, Brady is on record before the Godwin injury stating the NFL should do more to protect the receivers if they are protecting the QB's and other players as well.

If he was just being self centered, it may make sense for him to stay quiet on this one. After all, Brady is advocating for a change that will just make it easier for even more quarterbacks to eventually surpass his passing records/milestones or at least come closer. More healthy receivers and making it tougher to tackle them = easier for quarterbacks to accrue statistics.

I am not even sure I agree with Brady on this one but for sure it is a player safety topic worthy of debate. A counterpoint may be one is just trading off knee injuries to offensive players for perhaps shoulder to defenders.

Le'Veon Bell to Bucs

the lesion of doom, L'VB

Godwin is not a big guy that a low player has to go that low to have a chance at a tackle.

Brady is not the only player saying that a rule change would be a good idea.

Brady has a lot more achievement in the game of football than anybody in this thread pissing and moaning about him.

Brady makes a reasonable point that a lot of reasonable people agree with.

Before people post crybaby shit crybabying about any stupid thing that they can post crybaby shit about, how about give a little consideration for the chiefsplanet members that ain't crybabies and post that crybaby shit in Romper Room or see if the local community college has a class on how not to be a crybaby crybabying abot crybaby shit all the time.

**** Tom Brady, and **** you too

Can't hit high.
Can't hit low.

Just put flags on them then.

Not a big guy? So now we base the rules on player size? If you can't hit Gronk in his knees then he will just drag guys 20 yards every catch. Brady is a whiner and only said something because it's his guy. Does this happen every game? No, so let's not go all nuts. Only players saying something are on one side of the ball. Defenders have it hard enough with the rules so let's just **** them more with more penalties they can get for making a tackle. Brady was pissed he got his ass kicked. Thats the real story.

And, in the interest of player safety, especially the most expensive players, don't allow QBs to work outside of the hashes, not be able to run the ball, and make one-hand touch as good as grabbing one of their five flags, and I think the NFL will be genuinely be doing what needs to be done to protect QB's health...

Seriously, if they want no more leg shots as part of tackling then skill players should not be allowed to stiff arm so a defender to get his body on the player to make the type of desired tackle Brady is bitching about.

Great point... And a stiff-arm to the head and neck area should be treated the same as it's treated in other parts of the game.

I think what we're seeing here is evidence that the NFL talks big about player safety, but if it keeps offenses from scoring they DGAF.

Should Devin White still be able to suit up after his bush league tackle cost a player a season? Why didn’t Brady comment on his teammates lack of form tackling knowledge that lead to gifting the Bucs their first NFC south division in almost 20 years. Yeah, something tells me Brady doesn’t want to bring attention to dirty hits costing teams valuable players.

Why would Brady be obligated to comment on something he was not asked about?

If you think something needs to be done to Devin White because he injured Jameis Winston with an illegal tackle, why don't you travel down there and do something about it?

If Tom Brady volunteers some condemnation of Devin White when he is not asked about it, it is not like it creates a time machine that repairs Jameis Winston's knee and puts the teams back on the field to finish that game.

To be fair, I’m sure many Saints reporters would love to ask him that question, but he hasn’t beat the Saints backups all year, so he doesn’t stick around long enough for the real questions to start piling in. I’m guessing he’d have just as hypocritical of a take on it as that idiot Al Bundy spewed off earlier. I’d love to meet Devin White face to face to confront him on the bullshit tackles he makes in the league. Judging by how he plays, though, he’d probably kick me in the nuts and run away like a little bitch, though.

I've never really understood why you're allowed to punch a guy in the face just because you have the ball in your hand?

:hmmm:

Add lead with the crown of your helmet to the list. A DB does it and flags fly, carry a ball and you can use the crown of your helmet as a weapon all you want. Initiating contact using said helmet, sometime helmet-to-helmet, and it's all good because you are carrying the ball.

What if nose tackle even touches a QB's helmet? "Crime of the century"....

Player safety reigns supreme? I think not... I'm not saying they aren't at all concerned, but their "concern" seems to end at any point when scoring might be made a little more difficult, or offenses are generally had their goal of scoring made more difficult.
