Ah, screw it. I'm going to switch to the late local news at eleven if this drags on much longer.

They can’t be serious about that being penalties. That’s “I stop watching football“ bad.

Wow that's crazy.

I guess we're seeing why the safety market was so bad this offseason.

Hopefully they work this penalty shit out in the preseason or games will be ruined.

Didn't watch but heard on the radio the penalties were really bad. I hope this is just an over shot response from the refs with this new rule and tone it down.

Some of the penalties from last night's game were laughably bad. Especially that Nick Orr hit in the endzone.

I think they'll eventually back off and start calling only the obvious stuff after the first few weeks of the regular season.

There was also a play late the the 3rd quarter where a Bears WR clearly lowered his head to finish off a run but the refs didn't bother throwing a flag.

I seem to remember the league saying that was going to be a point of emphasis going forward. You can argue that about half of helmet to helmet hits are caused the the offensive player's actions.

One thing I know for sure is that RG3 is the future. That is all.
