They are keeping the QBs relatively healthy but this is an embarrassment to those of us that love football.

If I were a Packers fan I would be pissed at the calls specifically but it ultimately is good for them. more than any other team.

The calls in the Arizona game were both good.

Rodgers has been getting bs roughing calls for years so the Tears from Peckers fans is glorious.

You really do act like a little kid nowadays on the board. Just sit this one out while adults discuss it. Thanks.

It's bad for the league. I don't care specifically about how it affects GB.

i like the roughing the passer calls this year. Clay Matthews has been getting away with murder for years. Finally they're calling it on him with his dirty hits.

Bears have gotten after the QB more than any other team in the league and have not committed a single one of these penalties. At least I think, sometimes I go blind with rage and forget stuff.

-arm tackle
-go low
-aim for the ball

Do that and the refs keep the flag in their pocket.

They looked like really good calls to me.

Ad hominam attacks when you have real no rebuttal. bye felicia, this won't end good for you.

He's struggling with the Bears being in first place. Give the kid a break.

I cant' wait for 12/6 .

The call last week vs the Vikings was bad, for sure. But today's call was spot on. You can't drive the head into the ground. That was correct. I don't see the issue.

Wrong. It was textbook form. It's not realistic to expect a defender to levitate into the air after running into a QB for a sack.

You are a little mad now and can't objectively evaluate it. I am a third party observer in this instance and have no bias.

You're wrong. GB got their ass kicked regardless and it wasn't changing any outcomes but it was clearly an awful call and it's a bad rule.

The calls against shitbag Matthews the last 2 weeks were awful.

Can't wait til the XFL allows real football again.

Guys just have to relearn their technique. Gayboi Clay probably doesn't think the league is going soft when they coddle Rodgers.

They haven't coddled Rodgers at all. He's shown a shitload of toughness this year. He's probably playing in a torn acl right now.

Roughing calls aren't plaguing the elites like Mack or Von Miller are they? FavreFan is crying because a roided up has been on his team can't figure out how to tackle in this modern day NFL.

But this rule that Clay is bitching about is a direct response to Rodgers' injury last year.

I agree with you that his injury is way worse than the Packers are letting on. The irony of it all is that Rodgers was seriously injured in the first half of the first game of the season the rule he directly influenced was enacted

Exactly. The studs are still studs and the pass rush is still capable of taking over games.

Perhaps RoidiLocks has rubbed many across the league the wrong way over his career. There hasn't been much chatter about these awful calls around the NFL, outside of Pecker/Clay-Gay land. So I really don't see the issue.

They literally wrote a new rule about players landing with all thier weight on the QB solely because Rodgers got hurt in that fashion last year.

The Packers loving national media is in a tizzy.

No it's because MANY QBs were hurt in the last few years and it's been hurting the watchability of the league when you have guys like TJ Yates starting playoff games.

Maybe they can have Clay watch a tape of Mack/Miller running roushoud in 2018 without getting flagged. Seriously, this is a Pecker only issue not an NFL issue. Nobody fucking cares.

The new rule put into place this year was specifically due to the Rodgers injury of last year.

The Clay hit on (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky was roughing.

The Clay hit on Cousins was not a penalty. In fact, that is a video that should be used to teach kids how to tackle- he didn't lead or hit with his head, he didn't hit low, it was a good wrap up and a clean take down. If that hit is going to be used as showing what IS a penalty than the NFL as we know it ceases to exist.

It's sad to see 2nd place fans whining about a rule that was created to protect their injury prone quarterback.

I'll give Mack a lot of credit. He wisely figured that going for the strip makes far more sense than pedestrian sacks from both a football and wallet perspective.

I think it's almost inevitable that having 2 hands on a quarterback or a push with one will have to be called a sack.
