    In true NFL rules committee fashion they announce they will not change the rule, and then tell us what the change is. (not supposed to penalize inadvertent contact with helmet now)

    This rule is the potential straw that broke the camel's back for me. I'm having trouble even getting excited for the season now, knowing that I'm not so much going to be watching football as I am watching referees try to adjudicate football with rules that are about as well written as a Jameis Winston apology

    It's going to make watching the NFL that much more difficult.

    I use to watch every NFL game I could.

    After recent changes, I pretty much just stick to Steelers games.

    Agree 100%. Just watching preseason games makes it clear that it's going to be a circus in the regular season. I've seen so many good tackles called penalties. Nobody knew what a catch was the last few season, now nobody knows what a legal tackle is.

    The NFL will hemorrhage more viewers again this year.

    completely agree, it's borderline unwatchable (outside of Steeler games)
