the VG board football thread

Anyone else starting to feel the game is being ruined in the name of player safety? With the way the games are being called now it seems impossible to stop over the middle passing plays. Gone are the days of receivers fearing going over the middle, now you can't even hit them to separate them from the ball. Now by the rules you have to wait for the receiver to catch the ball and make a football move before you are allowed to hit him or he is considered a defenseless receiver? I see a questionable call in almost every game now, and the play that was just flagged in the dallas/washington game was the last straw. Santana Moss made a catch at the first down marker and a dallas DB made a hit with his shoulder into moss' midsection before moss landed from his jump. It was a clean hit, but was 15 yards because they deemed moss defenseless. I barely recognize this game anymore. Im sure a vid will be posted, will link when I see it.
