2013 NFL Season

The defenseless receiver is helmet to helmet which can be any part of the helmet. Alot of those are legit wtf do you expect the defender to do because most of the time they're trying for a legit tackle but you're flying at a guy and you're both wearing giant helmets and sometimes they collide.

Hitting with the crown is something way more dangerous. You have all of your force being transferred directly to your opponents head while your helmet/shoulder pads absorb almost all of it on your end.

If they went back to the old-tiimey helmets, I'd bet there'd be less head-to-head collisions. Dumbass defenders who just throw their body at someone would have to learn how to actually tackle.

I'm aware this wouldn't work.

Attachment 51273

People complained on here for a while when Stevan Ridley got decapitated by Pollard last year as well.

Ridley lowered his head into Pollard on that one, though. Today it would most likely be a penalty on Ridley, even though he got the worst of it.

Was the "Tomlin Sucks" chant audible on TV?

Araysar, who from this board beat you in this foot race?

It's also ridiculous that the instant his helmet pops off is reviewable, but not the helmet to helmet hit? If you're reviewing a play and you see something so blatant, not a judgement call, and clearly affects the outcome you should be able to factor that in.

I was under the impression it was reviewed due to it being called a touchdown on the field, not because his helmet came off. Only reviewing the touchdown did they decided the helmet came off before he crossed therefore killing the play.

Could be wrong though.

So the Dolphins still have Incognito on the payroll, and if he's still around after this game he's more than likely coming back to play, very interdasting.

Yeah, its a scoring play and also under the two minute mark so it was also reviewed upstairs right.

Right, but if they saw a hold or pass interference on the replay they wouldnt then throw a flag for the penalty.

Losing the helmet like that isn't a penalty for the offense though. It is more like a player stepping out of bounds before going in for a TD.

This is what I was talking about:



Some might say, 'Hey, that's a great play', but I think it sucks. I hate this kind of 'defense'.

... what? tackling this guy wouldnt have prevented the reception.

That hit was great. It's the Ryan Clark arms down open field on a ball carrier type hits that drive me crazy. USE YOUR FUCKING ARMS YOU RETARDED ASSHOLES! Torpedoman thigh bump is not going to stop Adrian Peterson, dipshits.

Oh, you can see into the future? He could hit the guy just as hard and wrapped him up. Instead he just threw his body at the guy, with a higher likelihood of injuries to both players. Maybe a tackling motion wouldn't have prevented the reception, but he could still strip the ball. As fast as he was running toward the receiver, I doubt the guy could hold on with any type of solid hit.

Really not looking for an argument about it; I just think tackling skills have diminished in the NFL.

Probably one of the cleanest hits you will see all year.
