Football This is the Future of the NFL - Page 2

I watched the Herd last night on YT and he brought this up, and unfortunately i agree.

The NFL is never going to relax their restrictions on how a QB may/may not be tackled, and the league wants QBs protected even more than ever before, as w saw the fallout after the Tua thing.

So forget highlight reels of pass rushers lighting up the screen with a dramatic game-changing sack sooner rather than later, people. It's heading rapidly towards two-hand touch on the QB.

But in the very immediate future, we can look forward to this example of how the league is going to want QBs 'sacked.'

What do you suppose Pat's dress size is anyway?

You mean like that?

I don't know. 2 weeks ago I asked my 19 year old son and his buddies "Want to watch Mahomes vs Brady?" They barely paid attention for the 10 min or so that they watched. Yet they are glued to the MLB playoffs and were all glued to the Bruins Caps last night. I straight up ask them why they aren't interested in football and get answers like "It's almost flag football." "It's rigged." "NFL isn't a competition it's a reality show."

I'll probably never stop watching because I've been a fan 40+ years but a lot of people are really getting turned off by the officials completely taking over the game.

That sack also happened after the RTP call on Jones. Still no flag.

If Mahomes played for Dallas, Green Bay, LA or any other league favorite markets/franchises he gets that call the majority of the time.

If 2 hand touch or some form of it had been in place Mahomes’ entire career, how many spectacular plays would we have been denied because the play would be blown dead?

Too many to count.

The league won’t do that.

The league doesn't have anything out for Mahomes, you all need to get over your PTSD from pre-Mahomes.

What?? Do you think Mahomes gets the same RTP calls Brady/Rodgers/Burrow get??

He does not. Though the reality nearly no QB does. Tua will going forward, so long as MIA remains relevant.

no flag for this:

Yeah, and I loved how they said "it was nearly identical to the Brady sack," okay yeah they were both twisted and thrown down, but as i recall, Brady was almost gently laid to rest, while Pat was pretty violently slung down. Brady gets the flag, Pat, well, apparently **** him.

They never come because MGM prefers tight games...and the Chiefs are the bane of their existence when it comes to point spreads.

They dont want to actively help KC score more...notice how both ridiculous penalties on Jones came on possession changing plays?

It's going to eventually lead to no touching of the QB allowed. No pass rushing, defensive players won't be allowed to cross the line of scrimmage and will just have to sit there by the line waiting to make sure he doesn't run and if the QB does run they still won't be allowed to tackle them. That's the future

How about the Raiders holding penalty on Chiefs missed field goal? KC got 7 points on that drive instead of 0 after the missed kick.

Yes and both games the Chiefs were pretty heavy favorites with most of the Vegas bets placed on them.

Just coincidence I guess.

Make up for the ridiculous roughing the passer. That call was just as bad

Yeah, that one was just as bad, maybe worse.
