I'm not too happy about the rule change that made wedges illegal. That's part of football. I can understand the other rules but that one makes me mad.

That is weird that they eliminated wedges on kickoffs. The NFL is saying how you must block on kickoff returns now??

I kinda understand it for the saftey aspect because on kickoffs some people's job is to break the wedge and its like running into a wall, but still its part of football.

God Damn, just put flags on them and be done with it. They pussy it up little by little every offseason.

I just passed gas 4 times.

Coincidence?

I think not.

I for one am a huge fan of the wedgie, especially the atomic wedgie, so this really pisses me off. Oh wait...

Every sport in the world is getting more violent...except the NFL

Every tv program on cable is getting more raw and more violent... except the NFL

Wedges on kickoff return IS football. It's virtually the only pure aggression expected and allowed anymore.

There will be a flag on every kickoff next year. How in the hell are they going to police this accurately? More judgement calls in the hands of zebras equals more bad football.

boo

I don't mind the rule to stop blind side head shots, or head shot to the WR.

The kickoff thing is really lame, I guess returns are going to stink. I don't understand how they expect people to block on KO's its not like regular blocking along the line.

I definitely agree with this though, I mean the last thing the NFL needs is more plays/rules for the refs to throw a flag.

Last year was the worst officiating I have ever seen in the NFL.

So...how are we supposed to evaluate how Robinson does next year compared to how he was doing before his injury when kickoffs are completely different now?

returners just got bigger

I was hearing about the "brady" rule on tv and it just made me sick.

You can't hit the QB down low, you can't hit the QB too high. So when someone else tears a spleen you're not going to be able to hit the QB anywhere.

Yeah all this powder puff crap sucks!

I think the nfl is realing trying to limit seeing injuries on TV. If you may have noticed in the past 2 years if there is bent leg etc....they will not show replays. Remember the hit Boldin took against the Jets?

They dont want the soccer moms seeing such plays on TV.

I think the NFL believes this encourages mothers to keep thier kids away from football and sign them up for soccer. Hence-the future of the game, fan base,players all shrink. I thinks that completely rediculous, but true.

That no wedge rule over 2 players is completely ridiculous. Goodell is the worst Commissioner ever. F*CK GOODELL!

lol, I agree. The rule was going to be that you couldn't hit a QB with force low on the legs, you could grasp their legs though if you like fell in front of them.
