  • Average career span of NFL player is now at around three years and has been dropping significantly over the past decade. Is there a

    correlation between the physicality of the game and player longevity, who knows? Can't see Favre's record of games started ever be elapsed.

    Let's face it, we fans love the physical aspect of the game, but at

    what cost to the players? Wonder why the players are so adamantly against extending the season to 18 games? I get it

    most of the time the defender is trying to hit the reciever hard enough to dislodge the ball or cause them to juggle it.

    other times it's just a unneeded display of frustration.

    hey, you shi*t for brains troll. can you read? are your comprehension skills really that bad? just when i thought your idiotic posts couldn't get any worse, you drop this gem on us.

    the post that you quoted clearly stated a player crossing the goal line for a td. that means the ref has 2 arms extended up in the air ruling it a td and the play is over. ANY hit after that is a late hit and i've seen numerous defenders get away with hitting a receiver or a rb right after they scored a td.

    not only are you a brain dead troll, you're also an idiot who can't comprehend a simple statement. you should focus on some self improvement skills and can the whole troll bit. you're just embarassing yourself, man. 😆

    well, actually what the quote says is a "once a player has crossed for a TD they should not hit".

    YOU said once the ref has his hands in the air.

    difference.

    so what was that about comprehension skills?

    all i was saying is that i think alot of those instances of someone hitting a reciever as or right after he's caught the ball are mainly aimed at breaking his grip on the ball and causing him to not be able to "maintain possesion throughout a catch" (wich is the rule for WR making a TD catch *see calvin johnson*)

    i think alot of the hits are people trying to make a last ditch effort to save a TD.

    the other side of that is the players who are just showing their frustration when they hit a RB (same possesion rule does not apply) or as you said AFTER the ref raises his hands for a TD and that should be penalized.

    now just so you know how much your natural disposition towards douche baggery has skewed your view of what i was saying.

    it is and should be a legal play for a defender to come in and lay a legal hit on a WR until he has possesion throughout his catch. if calvin johnson had had that ball ripped out of his hand on his way back off the turf by a defender (instead of just tossing it) it would have been a very legal hit and that has a place in the nfl untill rules about maintaining possesion thoughout a catch are changed.

    once a player crosses for a td, it's a td. how hard is it to understand that the only way it can be a td is by a ref who signals it's a td by raising both of his arms up? they go hand in hand, DUMBA*S. and if it has been ruled a td by the only person that can rule it a td (ref) then ANY KIND OF HIT after that would be a late hit and these kinds of late hits happen alot.

    your stupidity never ceases to amaze me. 😆

    just leave it alone, little man.
