No, that's not a problem for me either, but the jumping? STUPID. Not one player has been hurt doing that that I know of. Maybe touchdowns should be illegal since I have seen injuries from THAT.

They're going to end up sitting at little tables one football field drinking tea in their uniforms. lol

Yup.... if it continues down this path..... Australian Rules Football will start looking real good.

I'm just wonder what's next? One handed catches? I wonder if they are still "allowed" to jump over people trying to block them?

I'm blaming Bruce Arians. He was SO MAD when Bobby Wagner did that jump last season.

I suspect any rule changes take majority of owner votes, make one wonder has any of these owners ever played the game.

On another topic, hey Oakland fans we are moving the team to Vegas.... but not right away so please keep coming to the games. Okay...... wait a minute F you (would be my response if I was Oakland Fan)


Added later: I'd laugh pretty damn hard if both NFL & NHL Vegas franchises go belly up.

It does take a majority. I'm guessing they don't like it because they don't do it. Maybe their players aren't as fit as the Seahawks. I wanted to blame Arians because of the color he turned when Bobby Wagner jumped over his players. He was scream his head off and turning almost maroon. It was a thing of beauty.

Hahaha the Raiders! Have you seen what that smart alec Canadian Seahawk tweeted about that? I love this guys sense of humor so much.

I have been a huge NFL fan since the Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach Bud Grant went to the Minnesota Vikings. I now cannot stand the NFL (the league and the owners to be exact) .........it's arrogance and greed have no end and I pray in 3 years the players shut it all down, for as long as it takes.........F K Goodell and the owners! The American fans that eat this S T up no matter what should get a life........they are being played for suckers.

I will say that my disgust with the NFL came to a head with the Kaepernick situation. If my team (season ticket holders) were perennial LOSERS and I watched as the owners and management once again put in a S T effort in acquiring players.........especially at quarterback and someone like Kaepernick was available I would boycott that team........of course strength in numbers.

I could never understand the national anthem being played at sporting events short of the Olympics.........stand, sit, lay down, put your fist up with a black glove on..........who cares. Only in America can a bunch of rednecks get pi$$ed off by someone kneeling for a justified reason.......AND A VERY GOOD REASON!

Just wait until the concussion issue REALLY comes to a head and owners profits take a huge hit.........hopefully sooner than later. Absolutely no sympathy for what has to be the most greed infested sport.

Too bad......it used to be great.
