Proposed NFL Rule Changes

[EmpireWF]

Can we just get rid of the "challenges" already? It's an absurd notion to begin with and does nothing positive for the game.

Just designate a replay official, who can review scoring plays and tunovers ONLY. If the play isn't clear, he can buzz down and take a look (ala college). Instead of the Ref having to run to the coach and have a chat, run to midfield and make an announcement, run to the replay booth and take a look then run to midfield make an announcement, run over to the coach and explain the call.

Let alone the idea that you can only "challenge" twice...because there are only 2 bad calls a game and we really want the coaches strategizing over which bad calls are worth challenging.

Hell. Fucking. No.

Catches, out of bounds, spots, whether a guy is down etc....I want them to get calls right. Who cares if you have to wait 20 seconds?

Hey look, you're still dumb. Go back to lurking.

Sorry I want the calls right.

I only thank this because I want the NFL handled like college, on every call.

Hmm.. I weigh 140lbs, and deadlift right around the same as you.. squat 375, and bench 275.


I'm also rocking a sub 10% bodyfat.

Again, stop giving advice to people. GTFO with your paleo garbage, and your 9 sets of bench press a week for non beginners. You don't know shit

Since then you've posted vids of
Squating 295, 3 times, but hey you claim to be up to 350 now.
Deadlifting 325, 5 times (FYI, about 100 pounds lower than mine. Real close), but hey, you claim to be up to 405 now. Sure, it's been about 9 months...and no, you don't have vidoes of that lift...

oh, and you started doing Madcow with it's 11 sets of straight bench a week (plus 4 incline)...an odd choice for someone who once called that garbage.

It's amazing you couldn't take vids when I was calling you out, then you managed to take a few with weights about 50 pounds under your claims once I left.

Catches out of bounds I agree.

Pretty sure I got injured, and explained that? And I'm probably not squatting 250lbs right now.. considering I just got out of the hospital.

Deadlifting 325, 5 times (FYI, about 100 pounds lower than mine. Real close), but hey, you claim to be up to 405 now. Sure, it's been about 9 months...and no, you don't have vidoes of that lift...

Uh.. I posted several videos of deadlifting more than 325.. and I have posted a video of dead lifting 405... so...

Wasn't that great really. My bench didn't improve much actually, and looked better while doing PHAT.

Not sure if srs?

This process generates tonnes of revenue for the National Beer Commerical League.

Theres something inherently eery about replays being done by a guy in the booth. I think subconsciously we assume if the guys not seen he's not unbiased ?

All questionable calls should be handled by a replay official. The game needs to be sped up the challenge flag is fine so long as the whole conference and explanation to the crowd etc can be bypassed.

Protecting players head and necks on paper is fine. But for the kabillionth time it is a HUGE gray area. Our helmets touching , or my hand slipping off his shoulder or chest onto his neck or helmet are inevitable when attempting a crack back or seal block. If its not a blatant cheap shot...LET IT GO.

Lastly Horse collar effects guys who are in mid sprint who come to a sudden stop and have two players worth of pressure suddenly on there knee or ankle. Grabbing a QB and pulling him down by the shoulder is not in the same stratosphere.

^ My thoughts exactly.

The horse collar rule on a QB is stupid. All I can think of is Justin Smiths amazing sack on Brees last season being called a penalty and turning the entire course of that game. That would be a shame.
