I guess one guy from the Ravens offensive line missed a meeting this offseason about some new rules on legal formations.
and yet Jawan Taylor was allowed to get away with that multiple times during the game....

I wouldn't have guessed this, but Sao Paulo appears to be far safer than Philly.

Last year, São Paulo registered 4.2 murders per 100,000 people, one of the lowest rates in Brazil. In Philadelphia, the murder rate was six times as high, at 26.1 per 100,000 people, even surpassing the murder rate of 23.1 across Brazil, according to the Homicide Monitor, a database of government statistics from the Igarapé Institute, a research institute that studies security.

Can someone please explain the new kickoff rule, using small words? Because I just don't get it.

I think it's like this: Goes into endzone, touchback ball placed on the 30 (35?). Ball lands inside the 20, has to be fielded, but the kickoff team can't approach until the returner fields the ball. I think.

That's more or less what I just read on the NFL site. The new rule sucks. I hope it dies after this one season, if not during.

it's supposed to encourage more returns which hit an alltime low last season , only 22% where returned

no more fair catches

I think most teams would be satisfied with just kicking through the endzone and spotting the ball on the 30 instead of the 20. We'll see how most teams handle it Sunday. If the ball keeps getting kicked into the endzone they should just get rid of the kickoff altogether and just start at the 25 or something.

I wish they would go back to putting the ball on the 20. I like long drives. When the ball is spotted on the 30 under the new rule, one good play later and the offense is already at mid field. This isn’t basketball, for Pete’s sake

The game has been steered toward the offensive side for decades now, i say we give it a few games , it sounds like a step in the right direction

Not sure what the computer says about taking the FG to cut the lead to 2, vs going for it on 4th-and-5.

IIRC LaFleur made the same "error" in the playoffs 3 years ago?

A lot of that had to do with the field conditions. They were slipping and sliding all over the place.

Didn't they make tackling a QB while on the ground illegal? Like you can't reach for their legs while on the ground because of this exact issue?
nah, there was nothing bad or illegal about that play, just bad luck, acl seems to be ok according to reports

I swore they implemented a rule after Brady got hurt along these lines…

I am not surprised Saquon Barkley has already made an impact.

Looks like the Eagles are on the road to an easy division crown.

I don't know but perhaps the distinction is "getting hit" below the knees. In this case, the would-be tackler tried to grab his lower leg.

Interestingly enough, the Tom Brady Rule is actually the Carson Palmer rule!

Ugh, fucking hate the Chiefs... that was a brutal ending to the game. I still don't understand "swifties". If a singer from my favorite band or something else attended games, I would have zero interest they were there or showed them. So I don't get the logic of showing her.

You don't think the NFL is interested in capturing some of her like, 1 billion fans? ...from a demographic that it then had 0% interest from?
