Same idea in hockey though. Very very rarely the inmates run the show where the refs can't control it. If helmets come off or punches to the head are thrown, then automatic ejection/suspension. Could start with that

I hear your points and I know what I am saying is a bit farfetched. I just know this system works in hockey wonderfully, and I'm wondering if it would limit cheap shots in Football as well

I was high on Matthews and gave him the benefit of the doubt but I am starting to think he is overrated. Seems like he is never open and he is unreliable when trying to make the catch

I was talking with a few posters about this yesterday regarding what they should have done to Gronk after the cheap shot he put on White. A few posters said cheap shot him back next game, and I disagreed with that as I said they should have clocked Gronk one and even tussled with him right after the hit. Now a poster brought up that fighting is illegal in the NFL and results in an ejection, which is true. Which leads me to my next point. Why doesn't the NFL loosen up on that rule a bit and let the players police themselves a bit more? I am not saying take off the helmets like hockey and throw haymakers, but let them tussle for a little bit and let them defend themselves or their teammates. I made the example yesterday that Hockey has the best policing system in any sports. You hit someone dirty? You are going to have to fight the person like a man and own up to it. If Hockey didn't have fighting, I really think people would be going around slashing people's hands, or taking head shots, or just doing anything dirty to try to get that payback. They don't need to do that though because fighting allows them to police the game outside of the officials. A prime example was last nights game. Smith Schuster smoked Burfict in the head, and then Cinci comes back and drills Antonio Brown in the head when he scores the TD. Almost like an eye for an eye type of deal. The players are not allowed to police themselves in the NFL and this is where head shots come in, and pretty much anything else dirty will come in. Like I said, I am not saying go full out hockey and take the helmets off and scrap. But maybe give them a little more freedom to defend themselves and their teammates. And if they do initiate the tussle, give them a 10 yard penalty or something, just like you would get an instigator penalty in Hockey. Thoughts about this?

Lol well said Sean McDonagh! (On the bad officiating)

I just don't understand why they feel the need to over officiate games

Wow awful holding call

Why? Lol

Small market, bad team, and not exciting to watch. Here are a few examples. Would you want to watch a team like Tampa Bay or a team like Jacksonville on Monday night?

Lol I agree, awful all around. What scares me is drafting a QB early, then have Rico trying to develop him. Rico has to go in the off season. No way I would trust him with a young QB

Ya Its true. The only difference was shazier was at least moving his upper body. I don't Everett moved at all.

Hmm interesting. That can't be good news. Thanks for the update

From what I heard it was a QB draw/fade option. Don't even know why a fade route was an option on that play

Any update on Shazier yet? Last I heard he was taken to a local hospital

I personally prefer the Bills start off at the 25. The odds of them getting a huge return is very slim. The odds of starting inside the 20 and possibly inside the 10 because of a penalty is much greater.

One game especially drove me crazy. I can't remember which game it was but 3 times in a row he ran it out and didn't reach the 20 yard line. On the 4th time he finally took the knee. Unless you have an elite returner, I don't get the point of bringing it out. 25 yard line is descent starting field position

Lol what does that even mean?

Can't forget about getting a RB early as well

Way too conservative in my opinion

Can't say I agree with that at all Well let's just hope your girls don't ever use that concept because they would be going to jail for a long time

Who cares if you get ejected.... It's 23-3 with 6 minutes left lol

It should accomplish something. If Preston Brown and a few other Bills go out and flatten Gronk, or they paste him every chance they get next game, I bet he thinks twice about making a dirty play. What does ending a players career accomplish? He made a bonehead move and he should pay for it by a large suspension, a huge fine, and the Bills going after him right at that moment and every chance they get in the future. Hockey players handle stuff like this the best, and it doesn't involve taking a cheap shot back. It involves handling it like men Lol let's just hope you aren't raising young boys with that mindset...

Come on buddy. You have a hockey reference in your name so you should know better how to handle incidents like this. If someone hits Taylor Hall from behind, do you go around swinging a stick at the guys head, or slash his hands off? No you fight cleanly like men, or hit him hard the next chance you get. (Clean but hard) Handle it like a man and don't cheap shot him back. Preston Brown should have punched him right there. He didn't, so hit him hard and hit him often next game you get.

Targeting knees to deliberately injure someone? Na two wrongs don't make a right in my opinion.

What's wrong with what?
