hasnt there been massive turnover due to the outcome of that scab reffing poo poo? they crushed the union and all the old guys left pretty quickly cause the new rules were awful, even if they were grandfathered out of the most obnoxious ones(like not being allowed to have offseason jobs)

Things just seem to be running much more undisciplined in regards to refereeing, I’ve seen multiple make-up holding calls just in the random games I’ve caught. I try to avoid being too hard on em, and I hate agreeing with commentators on any of this but it seems like five years ago, refs used to make a conscious effort to not alter the flow of the game. I’m trying not to be too whiny about this, but ref actions seem especially ham-fisted this year. Hell, I actually figured a teachable way for sack specialists to pull their weight under the new regime: just wrap up the quarterback, squeeze their shoulders and elbows and shake them until the ball comes out! There shouldn’t be a particular rule against that unless the refs start whistling all contact dead

That particular part of the rule isn't new and has been going on for a while. I think originally it was intended for egregious contact, but for years it's been the case that you can't touch a quarterback's head at all

Just frustrating. Tonight was ridiculous too - the first half of that game had, what, 5 roughing the passer penalties? Just insanity.

Big Ben can make a pass while 3 defensive players are attempting to tackle him, but one smack on his helmet has him flopping like a soccer player.

I think the official focused on the hit to the head, but A. Ben sold the hell out of it, and B. It wasn't even that hard of a hit. If it's a zero-tolerance policy for contact to the head (which isn't an unreasonable stance to take) then the league should be more clear about it.

I thought so too but if you watch carefully he was putting that leg out in order to try and avoid putting weight on the quarterback. He wouldn't have caught his cleat otherwise, ergo he wouldn't have torn his ACL otherwise. It's a bit of a stretch but not a huge one at all Shameful. Just shameful. I wish Ben was capable of shame.

gently caress all notions of physical health. A good percentage of their wages comes from the nascar principle: some interest from a substantial part of their viewership comes from people who want to see human carnage. It's a roll of the dice as to whether your knee will blow out before you earn your millions (or as to whether you'll experience both: The Jimmy G Method). Every player has access to the data now. Every parent does as well. When you strap up, you can't complain about any potential physical outcome. And knowing that the success of the league is a result of its physicality, you can't complain if the focus on health dilutes its quality if you care about the league's longevity at all. Accept new rules if they let you keep watching hundreds of pounds of flesh run into each other at speeds that would be registered on traffic cameras. It's called adapting rather than becoming extinct, you Neanderthals

Good for him

These rules are poo poo though and need to be tweaked. We really shouldn't just accept any rule the NFL cares to come up with, and we should criticize something if it isn't good. The way the NFL comes up with rule changes it's like they don't understand at all what the consequences will be.

Good for him I hear you but it's impossible for me to care about Ben in any way but a negative one. The thought of him getting slammed by D lineman actually makes me smile. Also, flopping is shameful and always will be, and I'll gladly criticize any player who does it. I totally get that this would be different to you though. Just trying to explain where I'm coming from, which is a place of ultimate hatred for Ben Roethlisberger

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000967506/article/committee-believes-roughing-penalties-will-decreasequote:However, according to several people who were on the call, the expectation is that there will be fewer roughing the passer calls moving forward. The league is emphasizing to officials they need to be sure a player applied all or most of his body weight when making a hit before throwing the flag, sources said. So far this week I haven't seen a single call of roughing the passer. The emphasis on fining later is a good compromise at the moment I think.
