Grantland's Bill Barnwell with some good info.

The Colts started 2-3 and then went on a 9-2 stretch to finish the season.

Who did they beat in that stretch?

Browns, Titans, Dolphins, Jaguars, Bills, Lions, Titans, Chiefs, and the Texans.
The only legitimate football team being the Texans.

Drop off for the Colts coming.

it hurts my heart to say this but i think muhammad wilkerson is going to have a MONSTER year man

Can believe Jon Bostic got fined for that hit. NFL is getting to be ridiculous.

Lance Briggs had a great point. Swearinger's hit on Keller = Legal. Bostic's hit on the SD WR = Illegal.

So stupid.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

RT @SportsCenter @LanceBriggs reporting that Jon Bostic has been fined $21K bythe NFL for this massive hit on.nfl.com/12oQj02

Complete nonsense.

How the **** are you supposed to hit in this new NFL?


This ain't football no more son.

So in defense, Swearinger was right.

Sad to say, but yea...Swearinger was right. He potentially ruined another man's career just to keep money in his wallet. Look at the NFL you have created Roger Goodell

Monster in the middle

If our offense was even bad we might be a .500 team

This is such a stupid argument.  Even going if low does end someone's career, these head injuries are WAY more dangerous and have far more lasting consequences.  So if Goodell is choosing between the legs or the head, he's going to choose the legs every time.

Like "Oh, I only hit him in the leg and tore his ACL because I wasn't allowed to rock his head off."  So the solution you propose is to allow him to crush his head instead?

Whaaaaaat the........

Man, when Shoes finds out about this, the first Week in Review is going to be hilarious when he brings up they can't even say that team's name around here. He gonna have his best material ready for that one.

 

[cash money 1999]

Him Richardson and couples

You're reaching hard. Dude had no business going in that low and definitley could have made the same play just wrapping up around the waist.

I forgot what analyst said it but the target area should be above the knees and under the neck. Alot more tackles wouldn't be whiffed if dudes just went for the waist and wrapped up too. But dudes always go for the ko.

Edit: I do agree that there are alot of rules and penalties now. but i haven't heard anything about like guidelines and whether they are actually explaining to players what's proper, what isn't. I don't know if that's the case but that wouldn't be right. Can't have players not knowing.

Only thing I've seen is a video on nfl.com about a "heads-up" tackling form that seems like no defensive player or coach would EVER consider it because it would just leave them run over.

*sidenote/Skins' fans- If MMG is defending the name change that's how you know you're wrong.
