Good lord .. someone actually referenced menstrual cramps as a reason this comment was so horrible. We are genuinely in a very fragile state as a society.

Nephilim17 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Player safety matters but it's gone too far. Defenders need to hit a quarterback. I think in the broadcast he said at least make the roughing the passer penalty reviewable... Something needs to be done to correct it. Or we can all agree to professional flag football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Aikman is a boring announcer to listen to. He's not grating like Collinsworth, just bland and corporate-sounding. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean women wear dresses* so he's saying women are weaker than men, so he needs to be fired, thrashed and left for dead. *I am not implying women SHOULD wear dresses, or that men SHOULD NOT wear dresses, just that dresses are generally associated with women. I swear I am not gender stereotyping, I respect women, okay? Really I do. Jesus, you b*tches are so sensitive.

Completely. If that is going to be roughing the passer going forward, I’ll need to find some new ways to spend my time. I’ll watch my Bills, but not much more. They are ruining the game because the Dolphins cheated and china doll Tua got hurt. Twice. Take it out on them, not the rest of the league (and the fans). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) this to me is the same kind of off hand comment like "put a skirt on him" meaning said player plays like a girl as if that is some tragic dig PFFT yeah whatever... bro humor doesnt faze me in the least. Im not sure where all this faux outrage is coming from . Women with brains can see it shoulnt be taken as a personal dig. But as is reality in 2022 Anything will be taken sideways in hopes of not offending Somebody. as far as QB safety goes, It seems to me like the NFL is a swinging pendulum loosening and tightening rules interpretations...same thing with pass interference and how they call or do Not call those. That Aikmen is taking flack for his comment just means he thinks the rule needs more clarification-study- CONSENSUS on what is legal and what isn't. And then there is the fact some players get calls others wouldnt. I would think awareness and uproar will bring about that consensus moving forward on how unnecessary roughness / late hits are going to be called especially on the QB Edited October 11, 2022 by muppy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Head bouncing off turf but letting guy back in to play not protecting... guy making a tackle above the knees and not at the head should not be an issue as long as said qb isnt spiked into the ground or if the hit is late... how hard is this to do.?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 "Roughing the passer" should be direct strike to head/knees, late hit, or egregious/violent intent. Making "roughing the passer" reviewable would be as silly as challenging pass interference. Nor should officials have the option to use replay (targeting in college is more consequential). It would kill pace of play. Most important change is getting rid of the "no driving into ground or falling on QB" stipulation. It's been the slippery slope.
