They're calling penalties on failed tackles now. They've somehow found a way to make the product even worse.

All the 'not airing end of game' rules do is incentivize people to illegally stream stuff.

Whatever

The new personal foul penalties are a joke. Just make it flag football if you’re outlawing tackling.
The players have to stop leading with the helmet. That foul against Ekler was textbook leading with the head. These defensive backs just have to tackle, not jack up the receivers. Yes, it's harder on the defense, but players are dying young. It's worth it.

NFL television rules are so dumb in 2018. I want to watch Steelers Browns and instead they force me to watch Cowboys Panthers and I’ll just turn it off instead.

In CT, network is contractually obligated to not be able to show end of Browns game. Lol. I'm pretty sure this rule has been in effect for awhile.

Still, well done, NFL!
We here in Ct actually got the Giants game on Fox and the the Pats on CBS in the early window. During the late window, we get Chiefs Chargers on the New York CBS channel plus Cowboys Panthers as part of the Fox doubleheader. So yeah NFL...! We have it good here in CT..

Saints getting beat at home cost me a 4 team teaser (I am in Vegas right now).
Wish I could bet on the over for the number of times Rodgers being the best QB and contract will be mentioned tonight to make up for the early game loss.

Browns are just going to lose yards by trying to run plays. Just fucking kick it. Even a spike will cost a half yard.

I sincerely cannot believe the block in the back. The guy's about the go out of bounds, you have a bunch of blockers, and..... BLATANT SHOVE.
