Think about this for a second. What's this say about the rule when they cannot agree?!?

The NFL's former officiating chiefs don't agree with the direction the league is headed with its new definition of roughing the passer. A league source confirmed that Clay Matthews hit on Kirk Cousins late in Sunday's Green Bay-Minnesota game was correctly called. In fact, the league's current head of officiating, Al Riveron, will share that [more]

and I saw cm3 do this.

[list]

He didnt put his whole weight into the hit

He landed mainly using his left arm to take the weight; not letting his weight go into the QB
He didnt drive him hard but just enough so he could sack the qb
I dont know how someone is going to get sacks if you cant tackle the guy unless its like rodgers where he is hobbled or there are 2-3 guys coming at once[/list]

How popular can any sport become when the league officials, players, media and fans don't know what the rules really are?

What's a catch, etal is going to erode the fan base. Younger people are not going to vest their time and emotions into a roulette wheel of every changing rules that are interpreted differently by every ref.

Once Dale Jr made his retirement known, I have not watched a single lap since. Didn't even watch any of his swan song season.

I feel the same will happen with NFL after Aaron Rodgers retires and the Packers return to the 70's. I'll still watch and support, of course, but the personal time investment outside of the 3 hours on Sunday's ... nope.

I agree. I understand protecting guys from VICIOUS hits. But the one Matthews made is ROUGHING?!?!
Come on.....GET REAL!
He did everything but gently lay Cousins down and give him a kiss on the cheek!
This is getting to the point where you wonder why should we watch anymore.
The NFL just removed any doubt that it will be HONEST when it comes to backing up the refs. Anyone with even half a brain could see it wasn’t roughing in any way.

Baseball has been screwing up their product too. In the attempt to squeeze every nickle they can get they are all putting out a product that is rather unenjoyable.

Pretty soon we will hear: “penalty on the defense.....the linebacker came within 5 yards of the quarterback without saying “captain may I?”. That results in a 15 yard penalty, and the linebacker is disqualified.”

Zero2Cool (35m) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (1h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (15h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (15h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.
