"The league doesn't care about us anyway. [...] They don't care about the safety of the game. If the league was so concerned about the safety, why are you adding two more games on? You talk about you don't want players to drink ... and all you see is beer commercials. You don't want us to gamble, but then there are [NFL-endorsed lottery scratch-off games...] "[The illegal-hit penalties are] going to change the outcome; somebody's going to lose a game because of it. [...] It's going to be a huge play in a playoff game, somebody's going to hit a quarterback or do something and the referee is going to be too scared to call it. So he's going to call it anyway so he can save his tail. He [the player] may not even get fined or not, but it will come down to the outcome of a ballgame."
Hines ward said this and hes 100 percent right if u ask me..
I've seen nothing change in the way the game has been played since the league changed the rules, so I don't agree with that. I agree with the 18 game season and beer and gambling and etc, but not the illegal hit penalties.
i dont think the gameplay has changed necessarily, but I definitely have seen more late hit flags. the most recent one on harrison was just unbelievable bullshit and personal fouls do change games, i hate to break it to yah

Also this is late but the bengals jets game was one of the worst called games I have seen on both sides.
I think the Eagles win in a high scoring game.
