I'm done with the NFL!!!!! Was trying to watch

49'Ners and Saints....... NFL should just have the QB play flag football and everyone else tackle.......... I guess this gives the play by play and color guy something to talk and the 24 hour sports network something to debate but it is becoming boring football....

With replay and now targeting and you can only tackle the QB a certain way the game is just becoming so subjective........ Maybe it's fun for a lawyer or someone who enjoys debating every call on the field...... The owners will destroy this game over the next 10 years.........

We're friends. You laugh, I laugh. You cry, I cry. You jump off a bridge, I get in my boat and save your retarded a$$.


It's unfortunate, but no alternative

This "they're killing the game" nonsense gets it entirely backwards, though. For decades, this game has quietly killed its own players. I think I'd rather be a retired wrestler than a retired NFL player at this point.

The NFL has to face the facts about the long term damages that have befallen many of its former players. Even if they don't care about the safety of the players, the league does care about protecting itself from potential litigation down the road.

This is as good as the game will be from now on. The current players are stronger and faster than they've ever been. If they didn't change the rules, someone was going to get killed out there. Heck, somebody might still, even with the targeting rules. This watered-down version of the game is the best we'll get, but it's better than nothing.

They will get rid of tackling eventually. Cult of 'safety.'

Plays that simply look very violent are being automatically called to cover the NFL's ###. You'd think they were gladiators or something with how dangerous people describe the game.

Threat of litigation is taking violence out of the game, only collective action by fans can so anything to reverse it. Just when I started to think these guys were earning 5 million a year for risking their health, they make the game easier and safer. Maybe cops should make millions.

I agree fining especially gruesome "targeting" incidents, but the game is being ruined. It's supposed to be a dangerous game. You get paid millions! Do something else if you don't like the risk.
