As was said in the article, this should have been addressed in the preseason.

MM is an idiot and I think he needs to be fired. They have been talking about this rule change since the league meetings in March. You can not drive the qb into the ground or use your weight to land on them. This is the Aaron Rodgers rule. How stupid can he be having a rule made on behalf of his own qb lol.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Hazer.....you and I must have watched 2 different plays. Matthews did not drive him into the ground. He tackled him. He didn’t even put his weight on him. Watch the play again, Matthews even put his left hand out and into the ground to NOT land his weight on the QB.
What is a blitzing guy supposed to do? NOT tackle a QB for fear of a stupid penalty?
Believe me, I blasted Matthews for his late hit the week before. So it’s not like I’m just a blind Packer fan. I call them as I see them, reguardless. The NFL is full of crap if they (and they did) back the refs on that lane call.
I have no faith in the NFL anymore. It’s ridiculous .

The only solution I can see is to have no tackling of the QB. "One hand touch" the QB and the play is over...use two hands is a penalty because that has potential to injure.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

THIS would be more entertaining than what we now have. At least for the QB.

That is driving a qb to the ground and using your weight.

Dhazer has been playing devils advocate on this forum for at least a year now and apparently no one has noticed yet

It's not so much that he's playing devil's advocate as that he's always hated Ted Thompson for moving on from Brett Favre, and by extension, he's always hated the girl Ted decided to take to the dance instead.

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
