NFL expected to eliminate all blind side blocks

[erod]

More and more flags.

About done.

 

[Red Dragon]

This is a worthwhile rule though. The blindside is one of the easiest ones to suffer devastating injury one. Think Jeff Heath nearly killing that Seahawks special team player years ago, or Golden Tate blowing up Sean Lee.

I agree. It’s a dirty play and I’m all for it being eliminated from the game.

ahhh, more sissy rules forthcoming, break out the flags.. millennial ball.

Yet...that's what I tune in for. NFL has lost me as a fan....

It’s a dirty and dangerous play. Sad you like to see guys injured unnecessarily.

How about fixing the catch rule, PI, and consistent officiating?
Oh and while we’re at it, how about a commish who’s not a PoS

it is, and should be,,, guys get payed millions and have a choice on rather or not to participate.
Its a gladiator sport, or at least once upon a time it was.
There once was a time when this game was actually played for the love of the game, and a lot of those players wore leather helmets at the time.

Another thread for the game has lost me as fan crowd.

You say you’ll leave

But....

 

[beware_d-ware]

I bet you a pick play isn't going to be ruled a blind side block, they need QBs and offense way too much for that...

I will never leave, the NFL is more entertaining than anything available to the most bored individual.
Facebook sucks.

Queen, it doesn't make you any less butch to watch a sport with fewer dirty hits and unnecessary injuries.

Except for the Patriots , they never get flagged for ANYTHING .

 

[The Natural]

Good, most cowardly move in the game.

Which meant they didn't use their heads as weapons.

Something the "manly sports fans at home on their couch" complain about being legislated out of the game.

Irony.

You can’t play football and block without attacking someones blindside at times

I can see if it’s no where near the play....but let’s take Golden Tate/Lee hit......is Tate supposed to wait until lee sees him? Aslong as you’re a threat to make the tackle whether the hit is blindside or not should not matter

How about they teach fundamentals in the 20 years I’ve played peewee, middle school, high school and semi pro the first rule is keeping your head on a swivel

People who haven’t played football shouldn’t make rules

 

[OldCoach]

It gets flagged almost every time anyways. I think even when the defender is part of the play offensive players should be able to use better technique and not blow up the defender.

Easy. Use your hands for the block and not your body.

until it happens when a team that they want to go to the superbowl then it wont be called regardless just another rule to change a game and get the results that they want

I've been a football junkie my whole life.

Watched about 20% of what I normally do this year.

The product sucks.
