Couldn't agree more.... I miss the days when you would sit on the edge of your seat when your defense was on the field (early/mid 90's Chiefs). Then you knew your defense would hold that 4 point lead with 2 minutes left. Now, the opponent chucks the ball downfield looking for pass int., defensive holding, or hitting a defensiveless WR

I'm not all up in arms about it but I agree for the most part. The NFL is going to run off all the football purists in favor of the Fantasy dorks. NTTAWWT

Deacon Jones, Lawrence Taylor, (young) Ed Reed, and the like wouldn't be crap in today's *****fied NFL.

and don't get me wrong; this isn't a Peyton based tirade (but while we're at it, **** him), I stating it from more of a league wide stance.
Teams may as well draft the fastest players they can on offense, because defense is dead. Intimidation is dead. Atwater, Lott, etc would be neutered today. Those dudes made receivers dread going over the middle when their number was called. It's looking more and more like the NBA on a fast break. and more like the NBA with penalties on either side of the coin. Meaning, I don't know what is, and is not a penalty any more.

while the game is evolving in favor of the offense, no question about that. You still need a Hall of Fame caliber QB to break such records.

I agree completely. The games now are boring. There's no semblance of a battle; it's just a matter of watching quarterbacks play catch and march up and down the field until the last team scores.
You can't rush the quarterback. You can't hit the quarterback. You can't jam the receivers. You can't hit the receivers. All you can do is gently pull them to the ground after they catch the ball. The game is ruined, and I say that after a winning season by my favorite team. It's not sour grapes or anything, but is a flat fact. I'm about 90 percent certain that I'm going to take the year off from football next year. I've never intentionally missed a Chiefs game in my life, but I have better things to do in life than watch the beginner-fan product that the NFL produces these days.

It's sad to watch. I miss teams like the 2000 Ravens. There's a reason why my favorite non-Chargers players are always defensive players. Their job is a million times harder than the offense nowadays, so anyone who can still step up and make an impact on the game under the circumstances deserves respect.
It's hard to even watch the Cheatriots or Donks play because I get so pissed at the bailout flags against anyone who tries to play defense - and, even worse, I expect them. You can't even breathe near Brady or Fivehead, but then we're all supposed to be in awe of the records they're breaking. What a joke.

The NFL shifted to benefit the offense 10 years ago when Bill Polian whined like a bitch about his charmin soft Colts getting their asses spanked red by the Patriots. And Paul Tagliabue sat on his thumbs while Polian's competition committee drove the illegal contact rule down everyone's throat, which even the NFL's head of officiating said was bullshit.
