Great. Refs in more control.

Who could possibly want this rule?

Everybody with power wants more power.

Mahomes should finally get star treatment

If (and for now it’s an “if”) it cuts down on season ending injuries it’s worth it.

Yeah i said it.

Over/under on the number of games before KC benefits from this and someone uses this penalty as additional evidence that the refs/NFL rigged it for the Chiefs.

If mahomes didn’t have superhuman ability to play through injury we’d be on a very different side of this. And we all know damn well mahomes got hurt in the playoffs but a legal but dirty af tackle. So yeah, good riddance to the hip drop tackle. Find another cleaner way to tackle.

Is this assuming defenders don't actually, like, adjust?

I guess I'm in the wait and see camp.
[Reply]

People actually defended this and the new kick off rule. Crazy....
[Reply]

The defense is running out of ways to get the ball carrier on the ground.

I love outrage over things that might happen. Makes perfect sense.

I’ll never understand why people would rather watch players hit stick even if that means lots of games played with cringey bad players on the field. It’ll probably be ugly at first but it’s worth it if it prevents injury
