How about this SF/Oak game!!

2 returns in 2 plays and 50+ yard passes flying everywhere!

I sure hope for their sake that their 2nd/3rd string guys don't have to play much in the reg season!!

Oh, and on the topic....How about Detroit giving up 27 yards on a 4th and 26!!! :eek:

the rule change makes it even worse hell i would pass 2 out of every 3 downs the way they are calling shit with the flags. off has a big edge right now , let them play now if it is a real pass intf. then call it, then you even bump the qb it is 15 yards , a line men on off gets hands up under shoulder pads which is how you block it is holding if he pancakes the guy,, the best if you call for a fair catch and drop the ball and other team picks it up you can't advance it, but on a fumble you can happend i think den /wash game. they nfl want more points i think hell i like good deff games in pro ball with bone crushing hits, now i want points in college to different games but 63 points and some others is piss poor and ar yes it is pre season and have back ups but these are pros the best of the best top 1% even if they are moved to scout team, this is not hs fb no reason for some of the rules and bad deff except guys are scaired they will get flaged so they play soft and then you have holes, a few teams will not change and will play deff with out flag worry balt, pats, panthers,tenn maybe a few more but this should not happen. will see if it carries over.

also having to play soft man to man or zone leaves holes for running if you break the line it will not just effect the passing game. This is with most teams not just this game but this game was a joke with the way it was played you can't play soft you have to man up and play tight but fair, hell a bump or fart and you get flagged , college is not that tough on calls a deffender needs to be able to go for the ball, hell wr's push off all the time, and never get called.

Absolutely agree with you fletcher. I HATE seeing stupid, nothing penalties called.
I'd personally think the NFL would want a 'smoother' game, with less stop/start...flags every play. It just gets so frustrating to watch.
I'm like you...I'd just as soon see (probably even more-so) good defense.
Hell, I could care less if the score is 6-3 or 37-34...Good hard tackling and solid D is just as entertaining (MORE entertaining) than seeing QB's flinging it down field just to get an interference call all game.

Best play in ANY playbook.....Go deep down the sidelines and deliberately throw it 5-10 yards short...the receiver turns around, the CB bumps into him...FLAG. Easy. Boring as crap, but easy yards.
