Re: Tush Push rule proposal

Wouldn't it be simpler just to ban pushing the runner, which was against the rules for about 100 years?

Re: Sabbatical concept in NFL

Reggie White retired after the 1998 season but came back to play for Carolina in 2000.

And, of course, there was Frank Gifford, who retired after the famous Bednarik hit. Formerly a running back (halfback) he came back as a wide receiver (flanker) after a year away.

Re: Top Ten teams thus far this (now 1/4 way thru) 21st Century?

Though the passing game rules in today's NFL, the Colts with Manning, had one of the greatest passing attacks ever, during the still-running the ball-relevent early 2000s. In 2000, the average NFL team passed 32.9 times and ran the ball 27.6 times per game. In 2024, the average NFL team passed 32.7...

Because it's a ridiculous idea.

Re: Super Bowl 59 Talk

KC's recievers are overrated Hopkins is washed Hollywood hasn't been good in years Worthy is basically all speed no route The Chiefs roster from top to bottom would be a 9-10 loss roster without #15 bailing the team out What do you think of their defense? They've played an easy schedule and have no...

Re: Super Bowl 59 Talk

While everybody wants to talk about Mahomes, KC has quietly built one of the NFL's best defenses. They're 4th in scoring defense, giving up only 19.2 points per game.

Re: Ok I have to ask this

NFL viewership is down, especially in the nation's biggest TV market, NYC, where ratings are down about 30%, and that's going to have a negative impact on the league's revenue in the next round of TV negotiations. If the NFL were fixing games, the Giants and Jets would have winning records.

Re: Greatest regular season games of all tme

It was before my time but I would've loved to have seen "The Thanksgiving Day Massacre" in which the Lions upset the otherwise perfect Packers in 1962. I saw that game on TV. I was the sports editor of a small paper in Ohio at the time and I visited my family in Green Bay for Thanksgiving...

Re: Statistical Question

Agree with you @TodMaher. I don't think it could be half the distance penalty from the 10 as we all know a Touchback comes out to the 20 yard line. I have contacted Pro Football Reference to see if they are willing to contact the NFL about it. If the infraction was committed at the 10-yard line, th...
