nfl losing physical aspect?

[JefftheBillsfan]

maybe its just me, but i think the nfl is going too far protecting their players these days. i'm not convinced that any of the 3 roughing the qb penalties in the game (1 against them, 2 against us) were legit.

i'm also not sure if i like this no touching past the 5 yards against recievers, granted it got us a first down once when there was contact with moulds.

like i said, maybe its just me, but i think the game is losing a major apect of the game with these tightly called penalties

I think sometimes that momentum has a lot to do with roughing the passer. How can you stop when you're going full steam and the guy gets rid of the ball right before you hit him? :idunno:

It's not just you...Scott Green has no idea what he's doing out there...he should go back to being a back judge :down: He was putting dresses on the QBs

im glad to hear i wasnt the only one that thought those penalties were weak. i guess i cant really complain, he called it equally both ways, it just affected us more.

i saw the same thing in the game on right now, eli released the ball just as he was about to get hit. 15 yards..

burress made a sick catch for a TD anyway, so it wasnt as significant, but still.
I hope this isnt becoming a trend.
