To a certain degree, the leagues rule against helmet to helmet hits are justified. I've read quite a few articles of past NFL players that now have diseases due to the harsh hits they received while playing. Mostly brain injuries.

I think they should be less sensitive on what they deem a "personal foul." Then again, who agree's with what most referee's call anyways. As long as my team is winning..

[llvlaglne]

alright i'll agree with you j-iv on that arugment, atleast tone down a bit. there is a clear difference between intentional and accidental.

yea a lot of terrible calls despite all the camera angles. like yesterdays game. it was a fumble

[thomasnunnally]

What I don't quite get is they are telling the players to tone down the hits, and somehow, there are more stoppages for injury than I ever remember from when I was younger (talking 5-15 years old then, so 15 years ago).

I guess you could attribute that to either stronger players who hit harder today.  But I have to say the whole cornerback/safety leading with the head like a battering ram thing is just pretty ghetto to me regardless.

The problem is these guys don't know how to tackle. When was the last time you saw a guy hit someone in the stomach and drive through him? most of the time, they lead with their helmet and their arms are by their side, not even involved. Proper tackling would fix 90% of the issues.

[thomasnunnally]

Agreed, unless you are James Harrison.  He should just join the WWF.

[bagley920]

It's WWE now haha. I honestly think he'd be more suited for a prison yard than a football field but that's just my opinion. There are alot of guys that would probably be there with him if they couldn't play football.

[madmonday]

so right about the basics just being forgotten/neglected by so many players at the professional level (it's really apparant in football & basketball).

Cold world son. Real question is, when are SF fans going to stop going to opponents arenas in their own gear, celebrating, and NOT expecting to get dealt with?

Supposed to be at least 2 inches of rain for the SF/ NY game in SF this coming weekend. Mud bowl!

[J-IV]

It's going to be one crazy ass game.

SF run game vs. NY D-line
NY air game vs SF secondary.

Add rain and we got ourselves a historical game ahead of us..
