Roughing the passer is a joke

I turned the game off. The NFL is just unwatchable at this point in time

 

I think this deserves it's own thread and I'm talking for every teams fans out there.

The new what? is a catch? rule?

 

Beat u to it lol

 

The rule is ridiculous.

 

Fitzmagic has looked like a wet fart

 

Ryan Fitzpatrick and his boyfriend Patrick Fitzryan. Wait, what does a wet fart look like?

 

Fitzpatricks duck to bud Dupree that's what a wet fart looks like lol

 

They need to change the rule. Absolutely terrible.

 

Well wouldn't a sack be roughing the passer. Stupid rule to a point.

 

Agree.. next year will be 2 hand touch on QB..Lambert must be having a stroke right now. Bring out the skirts!!
NFL is a joke

 

you can thank the wussification of America and that as@hole Roger Goodell

 

I think this is the snowflake effect creeping into the NFL

 

No Fun League.

As a wise Jack Lambert once said, "Put a skirt on em"

 

Actually, I was going to make a post like this after the KC game... I just don't like this football anymore.

KC-Pitt was like Arena football, and that is not the kind of football I like.

All offense and no D is boring.

 

It’s becoming crazy, 4 almost 5 in one game?

Between hits to the head, where a player can’t do much, and the roughing the passer calls are nuts. When there are 20 plus pentalies and only so many plays we are seeing flags on 16-18 % of plays including declined ones

 

I've been posting threads about this in the general NFL talk forum since the preseason game where they kept calling it in our favor on hits against Dobbs...I got crickets

I knew as soon as it affected a Steelers game I'd have some company

 

Steelers had 85 penalty yards with 10 mins to go in the second quarter.. Steelers are undisciplined as hell but enough is enough with these flags and roughing the passer/personal foul calls enough

 

The message is clear: DO NOT TAKE THE QUARTERBACK TO THE GROUND. Wrap him up and wait for the whistle.

 

Only this kinda football can have a guy suck for most of a game "Fitzpatrick" And still throw for 411 yards

 

The players can't play anymore. I feel the OPs sediment. The idea they were going to call Cam for it was ridiculous. Might as well give the QB a flag and make it flag football.

 

You all need to accept the rule. It is for the quarterbacks protection, and as a side note it makes the game more exciting. Quarterbacks should be allowed to throw the ball without fear of being hit full speed by a 300 lb man, and the receiver should have time to catch the ball without interference, turn, and run for another 10 yards at the least. This is the way football was meant to be played. Ok, I can't even say any of that with a straight face. I don't know what in the hell the NFL is expecting, but I sure know it isn't going to keep fans around for long if it doesn't change. I actually heard myself saying I'm not as interested in football if this is what it is coming to. I remember a time when quarterbacks had to play with a little fear of being killed. The good quarterbacks overcame it, and the bad ones succumbed to it. I remember a time when a receiver didn't even want to run a route in the middle of the field fearing his ancestors would get hit (with the exception of Hines Ward). I remember a time when the most feared guy on the field was a no name linebacker missing all his teeth, a couple fingers, was crossed eyed, didn't have a brain cell to protect who would hit a guy so hard he was never able to reproduce. Sorry for the rant, but I can't handle this tissue paper league. If it wasn't for my love of the Steelers, I'm not even sure I would be watching today's NFL. Some of the best games I ever watched had less than 20 points scored total. This sucks!

 

This really is to our advantage. Good luck trying to bring Big Ben down without falling on him.

 

hit the QB hard as hell and take the penalty.

 

Honestly I think that had something to do with Fitz's picks. Hitting the QB is still worth it.
