Both teams have problems, however, one team is atleast showing up and winning. I hope Nichols sorts his problems out. I still think he can be a great QB. Winning for now.

There is nothing to be worried about- they will either win or lose, regardless of me fretting or not. Not worrying, Just saying that montreal is better than the riders. riders suck.

I know the Bombers will lose because it would help the Riders if they didn't. And you are right, they will either win or they won't. We might lose, but I don't think we will.

Mr Dee Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Don’t know if many of you saw what the NFL is calling “roughing the passer” nowadays, but they seem to have taken tackling out of the equation. I’ve seen 3 instances, two by Clay Matthews, that show how to tackle properly. Yet he was flagged at least twice. It’s being noticed and talked about a lot. I hope they don’t go that far in the CFL. Maybe they’ll go this far in the NFL: Tracker, bearpants, blue_gold_84 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’ll go this far in the NFL: What the NFL is trying to do is eliminate the pancake tackle where a defender usually 280 lbs or more hits the qb & then lands on top of him leading to shoulder & arm injuries. As the father of a former qb who had his collarbone broken while playing for the Rifles back in 2010 when a Regina Thunder DT did just that I can't argue against it. Some tacklers also twist the qb exposing their shoulders & then fall on them almost guaranteeing some kind of injury.

I realize this, but that wasn’t my point. I guess you would have had to see the actual tackles in question. They were about as clean as you could teach. In each instance, on the ones that I saw, the commentators were surprised a penalty was called. So was I. I saw no intent on those plays and it was confusing for the would be tackler. You could almost hear him ask “ how the h e l l am I supposed to tackle him then? You never want to see a QB get hit and hurt, but when the tackle is clean, then what?

What about all the other injuries when guys get tackled? Maybe we just change all the rules to flag football. It's a contact sport, unfortunately injuries will happen.

These rule changes are made up in two parts. 1 to protect plays. 2 to protect the product. Starters getting hurt, hurts the brand. No body wants to watch who ever is backing up Tom Brady play who ever is backing Aaron Rogers. And while it's a nice gesture the leagues are trying to make, at the end of the day its about $$$$$.

SpeedFlex27 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 QBS stand in there often times defenseless. They are hit or blindsided because some left tackle or guard missed or got beat on his block. The CFL & NFL already have rules in place to protect receivers from headshots. How many here would stand there & be willing to be pancaked? Not many so I kind of laugh at the supposed courageous tough talk by some who don't like it.

17to85 Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 I saw highlights of some of the flags on the weekend, completely clean hits. Just ridiculous how soft the calls were. Sard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously people are willing to stand in there and take those hits. They are compensated, they are aware of the risks. And finally, the hits this conversation were about, where not pancakes. They weren't even what anyone would consider huge "blow the guy up" kind of hits. They were, from what I can see, text book examples of how to tackle someone safely. And yet, still flagged. At some point, you just gotta play football. blitzmore, Sard and NorthernSkunk 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
