The penalties are getting old. It seems like every play there's a penalty. The league needs to let the players play.

Even players are sick of the penalties. It's just getting boring to watch. I still play fantasy football and like the game but watching is frustrating when there are many penalties that are subjective and not called equally between the refs in the same crew in the same game. What's the point of having elite players healthy all year if penalties decide the game. That roughing the passer call against Denver at the end of the game last week was ridiculous and handed the game to Chicago.

Good stats in the first article about the rise in penalties.

All turnovers are automatically reviewed, I'd assume PI would be included now. I have Rodgers in fantasy but loved that INT at the end.

Double post

Not pass interference, atleast offensive. Terrible defense, he needed to turn around actually defend.

The defender also can't hold the recievers hands. There was nothing there to call, just hand stuff.

Yet you think a little hands stuff between defender and receiver is interference? Saints defender never turned around while holding Rudolphs hands, and Rudolph just broke free for the TD.

Somehow Rudolph had to free his hand to make the catch. It'd be a new strategy for defenses if that was called OPI. Just hold their hands until they need to break free to make the catch.

I want to see a Vikings vs Packers NFC Championship

The whole football weekend was a snoozefest. The officiating is still god awful, the refs have no idea what they're doing. Maybe next weekend will be better.

I do, but seems like less and less each year. The recent rule changes, increased/unevenly called penalties, less defensive involvement and bigger player egos gets old. I started watching each game this week and only made it through the Bucs/Redskins game. Saints vs Bears was probably the worst 3 quarters of football I've seen in along time and I'm a Vikes fan.

When I don't have an interest in either team, I'd like to see good football especially in the playoffs. Watching the Steelers implode in the first quarter was not good football. I knew there was no coming back from a 28 point deficit. I guess when the Packers implode it's pretty entertaining...jk

Damn, if I'm this crotchety at 35, it's going to be fun at 60. Just not a fan of all the social media garbage and the coordinated team celebrations. It'll be an interesting off season for sure if the salary cap drops to the projected 176mil, some of the egos may be taking a pay cut.

Not concerning at all, just going to be more fun. Those aren't team celebrations, close though. I bet some attitudes will change with less pay, especially if they have to play an extra game next year.

Packers are toying with the Rams. "You gotta be quicker than that"

3 blowouts so far this week, hoping the Bucs/Saints game is entertaining. The 2 added playoff teams really watered down the competition.

That was Greg Lewis, the wide receiver coach. Best know for this catch.

Ouch, and why I want the Buc/Any AFC team to win the super bowl.

I miss Favre, best qb ever, maybe second to Brady. At least Favre was the most entertaining.

Always a good game when the dirtiest team in the league gets eliminated.

Pittsburgh looks like saints compared to the...umm....the Saints.
