    this new emphasis on defensive holding and pass interference is destroying the game

    in NFL General

    Posted

    Colts fans believe in their heads still that the only team that could possibly benefit from the 5 yard rule is the Colts.  It's psychological during the Manning/Polian years of believing Manning/Harrison/Wayne can exploit it and no one else could.  That's all it was, it was to try to benefit the Colts and no one else.  You won't find many Colts fans courageous enough to publicly admit it but they will admit it privately.

     

    The 5 yard rule was only put in place after the Pats beat the Colts.  Colts fans used silly terminology like "mugging" and all that.

     

    But when ever the issue of Gronkowski is brought up here the Colts fans act like gang banging thugs carrying pipes looking to take out his legs.  lol  Or they'll mention something about hoping LaRon Landry knocks someone out.  The Colts might have the most hypocritical fanbase in sports, almost as bad as the Montreal Canadiens.

     

    They need to get rid of that rule and totally come up with a new more common sense rule.  Also to stop pandering to the "Fantasy Sports" nonsense of wanting games to have high scores to satisfy all the fantasy sports obsessors.

     

    Put Brady, Manning and Rodgers in the NFL back in the 1970's and 80's and their stats wouldn't be nearly as good as they are today.  Those QB's wouldn't get up from the hits that Ron Jaworski took.

     

    Talk about complete nonsense, overreaction and living in a extreme black and white world.

     

    First, you lost all credibility when you compared the NFL to the MMA.  LOL!  When you got a steroid guy on your team (Laron Landry) who looks like he should be in the MMA instead of the NFL.  Hypocrisy there.

     

    Then claimed games were 9-3 snooze fests before the rules were enforced.   Most games in the 1970's and 1980's were not "9-3 snooze fests."  lol   Yeah, those Montana/Rice 49ers teams were "snooze fests" barely scoring points, sure.  lol  They actually played real football and had to play outside and not in climate controlled arenas.

     

    And nothing I said is a lie.  There is no other team forum where their fans support today's NFL and what Polian did.

     

    And what is a complete lie is to use the word and term: "mugging" to describe a D-Back playing a little more physical with a WR.

     

    lol  Talk about a disingenuous way to use a word: "mugging" which is a criminal act where someone on the street is robbed and had their belongings (wallet, watch, shoes etc) stolen.

     

    Now go watch your Bob Sanders and Landry youtube videos of them "mugging" people which you loved so much.  Or maybe we can search back on this forum to the Gronkowski thread of Colts fans here talking about how they hoped someone injured Gronk.

     

     

    Great post. I love the Canadians part...so true. As for QB's i don't think you can compare one era against others. Guys who were great in their time deserve complete recognition as all-time greats of the game. Today's QB's would dominate the league of yesteryear's with physicality alone. Today's QB's are tough but play a very different much evolved game. Some myself included think many rules are crossing the line at this point and hurting more than helping the game.

    Again, I haven't listened to the two schmucks (D&C) in over 2 years so I don't know Gerry's views on the Pats have been lately.  But when I did listen to them years ago Gerry's predictions were below .500 and he never blamed Brady for anything.   That's because one of the few only media outlets Brady would give himself to was the D&C show so they had to sniff his jock strap to keep him on the show.

     

    But what person with any self respect would listen to those as% hats?  lol

     

     

    How could his predictions be below .500? He's a Patriots homer for sure and you do understand that the Patriots have had the best winning percentage in NFL history over the last 15 seasons right? D & C is the #1 rated sports radio show in the country. It has nothing to do with either of us and if you don't like them I am 100 percent cool with that.

     

     

    Actually Callahan put the GB loss on Brady. In person to boot.

    "BB and Brady came away from that game knowing exactly what went wrong and how to correct it."

     

    And you know this how?  You act like you're a member of the Pats organization coaching staff in on the meetings.  Can you share with us the specific game plan against the Chargers?

     

    And in the bold letters above....you're coming across more and more like Gerry Callahan.  He'd use to say that nonsense on NESN often.

     

     

    Not a complete swing and miss on the how I know part. I call it a foul tip. You nicked it.

     

    As far as the Callahan comment...your view would have validity if Gerry wasn't right about the Patriots 99% of the time.

    I haven't watched D&C in 2 years so I wouldn't know what Dennis thought of Brady vs Jimmy.  But you do so you been listening and watching D&C hypocrite.  Good to know you keep up to date on Dennis' views.  lol  :-)  BUSTED!

     

    And I'm not an expert like you on every Boston sports radio and tv personality.  Most of them know as much about sports as you do.....NIL.

     

     

    Busted? For what? I listen to the show for a half hour every morning.
