It's Kafkaesque

Not a serious team. Clown show and no self respect.

The first time we ever saw it used was to wipe out a touchdown in a playoff game.

The rules are even stricter for "defenseless players," which can include runners in certain situations, though the helmet-to-helmet contact rule is designed to prevent most forcible helmet-to-head contact in any case.

Pat’s are for real, these are some of the hardest hits I’ve seen all season. Vrabel has definitely put his stamp on this team.

Lions and Bears were picking Top 10 for YEARS. We were mid picks. Now we’re late round picks. Ya know why? Because we’ve been in late round playoffs for the last FIVE years. Geez. Immediate gratification!! I want a Super Bowl NOW!!!

They atrophied and fell off.

There's no way the 2-10 Giants are punting on 4th and half a yard down 20. I mean holy ****.

At which point it becomes subjective, not objective.

Why not take a timeout there and save yourself five yards?

He looks like a zombie

Unleash the Jameis!!

Christ almighty who cut off the Giants’ balls?

They have more than one kid that has D1 offers. They have an edge rusher with an offer from Army, another edge rusher with an offer from Boston College & Syracuse, a 6’9 OT with an offer from Syracuse, a Jr LB with an offer from UB. The QB is committed to play baseball at Maryland……that team is a power house.

If Mahomes is running he is no longer a defenseless player and he is no longer afforded any extra protection like he would have in the pocket.

It would help if the NFL explicitly told us what the eye in the sky is used for. It seems to change based on the circumstances of the situation.

there's a distinction between the helmet contact which happens on every play versus using your helmet as a weapon in my eyes I don't think the NFL has a targeting penalty on ball carriers like college

There has to be a different standard for a kick returner or an open-field tackle. That’s not a scrum type of situation.

I don't click on random links... What laws were broken? What laws were broken?

I think defenders are being taught to make contact but also follow through with a leg whip to finish. I saw an Italian player do it in the Steelers game yesterday.

No thanks, possession receiver with no speed

Good grief. Robert Kraft thinks he's back in High School.

It is just amazing how everything keeps falling the Pats way this year. The only potentially saving grace is that it is unlikely for the stars to align the same way again with injuries (their lack of injuries and the timing of opponents’ injuries) and lucky bounces in games. I worry that they are set up well for a Super Bowl run this season though as things stand…

You know smoking kills right? Judging by your response, the world could do with you shaving a few years off if you don’t have a little more compassion and spatial awareness. Joke or not, poor form.

Depends on intent which is subjective. You usually see that called though.
