The NFL has to amend this rule about the defender’s body weight landing on the QB and they have to do it yesterday.

There is no way a guy can rush the QB at full speed, wrap him up and hit him, and then not land on him.  There is just no way to do it.

Watched Matthews get called again for a perfectly legal hit and then saw a Seahawks drive extended against Dallas on 3rd down for the exact same thing. Both were textbook clean hits.

I always roll my eyes at the “put a dress on em” comments but this particular rule about has me there.

Wonder when was the last time the Browns & Lions won in the same week

I think it was one or two Sundays after god made the earth and took a sabbath to rest and feel swoll.

[MrNubbz]

Seeing as they didn't win last year and won once the year before on the 2nd last game of the year.It would have to be Christmas week end 2016 or maybe during the 2015 season

Looked it up Oct 26,2014.And to think I could have made big money being GM for either of these train wrecks for 2-3 seasons,SMDH

There was 1? QB hurt last year because someone landed on him, and news flash, Aaron Rodgers didn't get hurt because he was landed one. Aaron Rodgers gets hurt because he scrambles all the time 
This monday night game is a trash fire.

Roethlisberger is a shitty human being that I could never root for.  But from purely on the field standpoint, there are a million identical QBs of varying abilities, so when he hangs them up, I will miss the uniqueness of his skill set.

It's why I hope a guy like Mayfield makes it.

I won't miss Ben

You and every Brown's Fan whose clock is ticking

Steelers are getting crushed 23-14 by the Ravens. At home. They are missing Todd Haley's play-calling and Le'Veon Bell's play-making on offense. And their defense just sucks.

In all fairness there was a time when you were espousing Brady & BB like they were Ike and Patton.I knew Belichick could coach but his achilles heel was talent evaluation.He always thought he could take someone physically gifted and turn them into a baller.No denying he had to do some things right(fundamentals,techniques,Xs & Os) to be in the mix this long but now it appears father time and karma are rearing their ugly heads.He could never trust the advice of talent scouts/player personnel.Kind of hard to focus,scout,coach in the NFL and follow all the talent in college also.You were talking about WR's for NE.They just picked up Josh Gordon - you talk about the weakest link.This guy should never be allowed to reproduce and why I hate the swindling NFL.Literally 1-2 times a year he'd have a relapse - oh the poor darling needs help.Ya he does the NFL can start by kicking him to the curb and making him fend for himself.Gosh maybe partying wasn't that important and a steady decent pay check was.Accountability - no one ever seriously called him on it.Catering & coddling to creeps who flaunt not only rules but laws.I'd love to see that NFL stack of cards come down - end of rant

Must have me confused. Never been a huge Belichik fan. Obviously I respect those kind of results. He's been very fortunate to have a QB like Brady in the era where the game is all about the QB.
When Belichik got to New England, most of those pieces on that defense they used to win their first 3 Super Bowls were already there. Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy, Richard Seymor, Teddy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel- those guys weren't drafted by him. They were drafted by Bill Parcells. Now THAT is a coach who was flat out amazing when it comes to personnel. Obviously Belichik got some great gems that other NFL teams gave up on like Corey Dillon, Rodney Harrison, and Randy Moss- but those guys were NFL HOF type players before Belichik ever coached them. They were seen as has beens that he took a chance on and all those chances worked out. Most of the other players that Belichik took a chance on didn't work out like they did. Belichik drafted Vince Wilfork at DT and that's basically it. That's it. Every other guy he drafted on defense was basically terrible, average, or above average. D'onte Hightower, Devin McCourty, Jerrod Mayo? Those guys were never studs. Above average, sure. Great? No. Elite? Hell no. Wilfork was really the only flat out stud he's drafted. Chandler Jones was on that track but he traded him away. In 19 years. 19 drafts. The guy has a really shitty eye for talent for being such a "genius".

I didn’t watch the Browns game but saw the call where they overturned the 1st down late in the game.  That looked like an awful call.  If I’m a Cleveland fan I’m livid.

Yes, I am livid,but more about the Carr in the grasp call, when the ball was knocked out before anyone grasped him. Ogbah or maybe it was Obunjobi had the ball with a clear run to the endzone.

Its more the defense. Other than Dupree and Haden (who's less than mediocre) I can't name others who play D on them.
