Can’t wait to see the botched interpretations of this next year that cost teams 15yds.

it's a tricky one to call correctly.

if they could call it consistently on both teams, ok

but I dont think they can

Yeah, refs will fuck it up like everything else they touch.

Yeah - but this one should be a fairly easy one to 'unteach'.

I think it'll be a fairly short-term headache.

I think this is probably a good thing. Like Zilla said, if we can keep high cap good players on the field its better for the league.

Seems to me that the dirty ass teams do it the most. It's possible I look for it with greater scrutiny with those teams so I may be way off. But it will definitely affect teams.

Looks to me like speed rules again. Might cause some guys to switch to more 2 deep coverages so they don't have to chase anyone down.

No more throwing or catching the football either.

I never understood this interpretation as if watching replacement players throw and catch is a better alternative. I hate that the interpretation of the rule is gonna probably be botched. But keeping good players on the field is a million times better than them being hurt.

Last year's playoffs watching mahomes vs Allen and lamar and Purdy... That's way more beautiful than not regulating tackling.

If they keep the definition as narrow as it is in that tweet, it will get called what, maybe 3 times in a season?

Yay more rules that are open to officials interpretation! Love it! Gives them an easy out.

I’ve always liked Hip Hop.. Players should get to listen to whatever they want..

They're going to sell advertising on the flags, for closeups

So once again, this happens to us in a playoff game two years ago and nobody cares. Mahomes plays on one leg through three games including the Super Bowl because of it, and nobody feels any need to change NFL rules. Did this happen to a non-Chief or something?

The NFL has been trying to play flag football for years.
