  1. I think the next battle for us as fans is to figure out how to formally protest to the League our disdain for the rules becoming incredibly one sided in favor of the passing game. Defense, especially pass defense is becoming impossible.

    The last 2 decades have constituted a perfect storm with the rise of fantasy football, and the rise of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in particular. While the league has Rogers and Brees etc., I mention Brady and Manning especially because those two have lobbied very hard to have the rules in this league tweaked to favor them. Illegal contact, more stringent pass interference, the incredibly (and deliberately) loose calling of pick play violations by offenses. Tuck Rule. Brady Rule. Roughing the Passer strictness. It's all there.

    Fantasy football and these two QBs have a direct correlation to the amount of yellow we see on gamedays.

    And these cowards are all proud of their records. You don't think it's a coincidence that 5-6 QBs are all having record-breaking careers at the same time? You think Americans just breed super human athletes all the sudden? Ofcourse not. What these QBs and league have done is quite disrespectful to greats like Johnny Unitas, Namath, Marino, Jurgensen, Raymond Berry, and all those QBs and WRs that had to do what they did when the rules were still balanced and you as a QB were just as liable to get walloped as any other guy on the field if not more.

    Kinda makes you wonder what Unitas could have accomplished with these rules given that his consecutive game TD streak stood for half a century.

    Well said.
