It should be illegal to make any contact with Patrick Mahomes imo

Opening Day 2027

Chiefs 148 - Ravens 103

I know people are generally against this.

But the worst unwatchable football is when great players aren't on the field. Nobody wants to watch a playoff game with skyler Thompson. That is way less watchable than stricter penalties on tackling. We lucked out on mahomes avoiding serious injury last year but our tune would totally change if he didn't come back.

So yeah, in general I'm OK with it considering that unlike a lot of rules about hitting qbs this one seems to injure at an extremely high rate

They need to ban the tackling of Patrick Mahomes, that's what they need to do. ****ing around with all this pissant shit. Get to the real meat and potatoes.

Well, as it's already illegal to say mean things about a QB in his vicinity, I'm sure that's coming soon enough.

Offensive player has a choice to go down when someone is on their back. Defensive player putting all his weight on the runner is appropriate. If you are worried about getting hurt, go the **** down.

Whenever stuff gets proposed in the name of 'player safety' it tends to get adopted. If the NFLPA wants it, the NFL is unlikely to fight hard against it because they don't want to be on the other side of a lawsuit in the future.

Can’t wait to see the botched interpretations of this next year that cost teams 15yds.

it's a tricky one to call correctly.

if they could call it consistently on both teams, ok

but I dont think they can

It's happening

This.

I think this is probably a good thing. Like Zilla said, if we can keep high cap good players on the field its better for the league.

Seems to me that the dirty ass teams do it the most. It's possible I look for it with greater scrutiny with those teams so I may be way off. But it will definitely affect teams.

Looks to me like speed rules again. Might cause some guys to switch to more 2 deep coverages so they don't have to chase anyone down.

Yeah, refs will **** it up like everything else they touch.

No more throwing or catching the football either.

If they keep the definition as narrow as it is in that tweet, it will get called what, maybe 3 times in a season?
