Wild Card Weekend
- Thread starter Ferm Sheller
- Start date
Game went over 3 hours, which is good. Fans in the rotisserie sections are fully cooked. No salmonella.
Rudolph seems to be looking for the 5-yard patterns on every play. He's not going to score 14 points that way in two minutes.
He’s got 8 friends that know how to go around the world in one night so this is weird indeed
You have no concept of the speed of the game - it’s not like the slow mow replay - it’s a half a second decision
Oh OK. I have no concept. Thanks for your perspective, Mr, Bruschi.
Here’s a concept… don’t dive at the ground to make a QB tackle. Period.
Mayfield and Purdy haven't played yet. Goff is near elite. Love has arrived. If he's not yet elite, he's on his way.
Well it’s either go middle up or accept the penalty when he slides. Make a choice.
Imagine having Pittsburgh and the points (10) and Rudolph decides to scramble for a "key" first down to run out the clock.....
Yeah, a RB or whatever could do the same slide and be ruled down correct? Or is it just QBs that can give themselves up with a slide?
That’s why i think the rule is bad
Jack did nothing dirty…he clearly tried not to finish the hit and even sort of spread his arms out
I just think they’ve made it way too difficult on the tacklers. All the time you see qbs, especially mahomes, get extra yards bc you can tell guys are scared to commit to the hit
Anybody can and get the same protection BY RULE. Obviously in real life a QB will be treated differently because the owners want them to be
"Matt Canada sucks!"
I like Tomlin, but I can see why Steeler fans could be dissatisfied with him. Given their history, year upon year of going 10-7 and losing in the first round isn't their idea of success.
So far it's been one good game and one good quarter (the first one of the Browns-Texans).
It is definitely challenging to be a defender. You can't hit too high. They're talking about eliminating the knee shots. That leaves a very small window, and you can't use your helmet to tackle either. And if the runner dips, though you were aiming at his midsection, now you could be aiming at his head. And if they slide you have to back off, but that leaves you exposed to a fake slide (or fake out of bounds like Mahomes does).
And yet...defenses are holding offenses to fewer points per game than they have in like 10 years. Amazing.

You basing this on "rep" or their actual numbers? At least 3 of them are playing like they are elite.
I agree with you about the rule. 100%.
But given the rule, that was a penalty. It stinks.
Yeah it’s wild
seems like the cba has really reduced the quality of o line play…or maybe it’s all the rpo in college. League needs to figure that out bc it’s a problem
That’s fair - I didn’t mean to imply it was a bad call…I just think the rule is rough
For those not watching, Hurts or Mayfield? Weird game with both starting QBs playing hurt.
