Is there a playoff version?

No clue. I’d think more like Leaf and Manziel than Burrow, Hurts, or Herbert but not like a J. Russell or Akili Smith. Maybe like a Kyler or a Wentz.

Depends who you ask

This game is doing a great job at arguing against expansion lol

I don’t like the way this is worded, first ever to hit 1000 by week 8 or fastest player to 1000 yards feel more appropriate, now I have to google and see what specimen hit 1000 yards by week 8 in 1961

“probably” does not meet the criteria for egregious. Rely on on the player to make a play to win the super bowl through contact. Parallel to Helmet catch. There is a ton of examples and reasoning that challenges what I said here, that example does not.

Which is as valid as anything, especially in holding calls. But like the back and forth commies-eagles game last year was decided by a penalty and there was no way to call that penalty at all in the game prior to that point. It was a drawn penalty and another point in a worrying pattern of reliance on penalties over play.

My point, though probably not properly communicated, is that I believe penalties need a change in philosophy for the health of the game. In my opinion, there should be a higher standard for assigning penalties for non-safety issues.

Mine is about penalties. I don’t think you should throw a flag on something that doesn’t effect the play. So that DPI in the browns-colts game, the holding in the rams-bengals and the chiefs-eagles Super Bowl, the OPI in the Vikings-9ers, etc.

The game should be focused on the play between the players and flags should only be for egregious violations and should be dictated by the game. Moments like the helmet catch don’t happen if they just throw offsetting flags for holding and DPI. And I think we are losing moments like that to penalties and moments like that are important

Imagine this browns team missing the playoffs because their QB quit lol CLE QB struggles will never end
