Anyone else think the NFL is becoming a joke?

Its really becoming a panzy contest at this point its almost seems like they decided " Hey the refs are getting bored lets throw in a crapload of new penalties...Hey wide receivers are complaining that they can't compete with physical defenders lets make it so they can't touch them after 5 yards.....Hey instead of calling a catch a catch lets make it so that its only a catch if the ball isn't wobbling....Better yet letsmake our holding calls VERY ticky tack so that even a minor grab results in a penalty

combine all of this with the udderly lack luster group of teams this year...and well we get ourselves a crapfeast...its no wonder one team is managing to rape the whole league

No. I have no idea what you're talking about. While I think it's absurd that grown men go out and tackle each other every week, it is an incredibly tough sport to play. There is a penalty commited on every single play, but the refs generally only call the blatant ones.

Most of the penalities you mentioned have been around forever. I'm not trying to offend but I do wonder how New orleans was a crap team 2 years ago, hurricane comes a year later and their suddenly a great team, and this year that back to being bad.

Wow a flamebait topic in sports discussion. Never thought I'd see it.

Also this isn't the best board for flamebait. Go to system wars. You'll get a lot more posts in your topic that way.

I agree, today on the cowboy lions game one of the lion guys was just sitting down after getting tackled and just barelly put the ball on the ground and the refs called it as spiking the ball wtf is that. Everyone here who was watching it with me in Dallas was like wtf he didn't spike it.

I hate alot of the penalties in the NFL. And its getting worse every year. I do not like Roger Goodell. I especially hate penalties and fines for hits. Ruining my favorite part of the sport.

Ravens fan? C'mon, the NFL is doing a fine job in refereeing and the league is fine. Throughout the NFL's history, there have always been bad teams and there have always been good teams. This year is no different.

So a cheap shot to a denfensless player, possibly causing a concussion or other injury isn't fine worthy?

So you think horse collar and helmet-to-helmet hits should be legal?

Last time i checked this was football?? Not nudgeball, nobody is forcing them to put on the helmet and pads but they decide to because they get paid millions. Play the damn game.

It's a pretty obvious statement to make saying "there have always been good teams and bad teams." I can't help but laugh at someone trying to make such a "safe" comment so they can't be told they're wrong... anyone who has watched the NFL consistently the last couple of years knows that this year has reached a new high for teams that fall into the profile of perpetual putridity... Bill Simmons, read him, he's truth in this regard man. The NFL isn't putting out a better product this year, there just happen to be a couple big gimmicks drawing people in (NFL network debate, Pats, Dolphins, Cowboys resurgence into being the BOYS again).

Honestly, I hvan't noticed that at all this year...

American football is a complex game with a lot of rules. I think the refs have done a pretty good job this year so far.

They put on the helmets and pads to play the game. They wouldn't do it if other players could legally do something that's been proven to break legs consistently and cause concussions consisntently. It's football, but those plays simply cause injuries, often serious, too much.
