Poll #99

[The_Next_Big_Thing]

These polls are stupid. These rules are being made to keep people from being seriously injured. It's just a freaking game. If you have to hurt someone by breaking the rules to win, you don't deserve the win.

To suggest that it's better to hit the QB in the knees than to let him throw a touchdown pass, because you can't possibly do better is dumb, immoral, and makes you no better than Kimo VonKneecappen and the Steelers fans who cheered Carson's injury on.

To suggest that it's ok to horsecollar tackle because you are too incompetant to actually tackle a guy is no better.

I wouldn't mind losing the polls either, they are more of a pain than anything else. I may be in the minority again, but I just ignore the vote portion and talk about the topic. Why vote, then talk ?? My two cents...

WHODEY !!!

I agree 100%! If we have to lose because we suck, then we have to lose. Nut up and make sure it doesn't happen again, don't cheat to win.

The point IS, the new rules wont protect anyone. Guys the play the game full speed. Making certain types of tackles illegal wont stop anyone from doing them. People horse collar tackled in every game last year. Not on purpose, but because if the only thing you can get ahold of is a shoulderpad you grab it.

If you are rushing the QB and get knocked down, you still try and make the tackle. I dont remember anyone here calling Thurman dirty when he was blocked and fell into Roethlisbergers knees. Dude was trying to make a play, and if you dont go low on purpose it shouldnt be a penalty.

If you dont like injuries stick to chess, knitting sweaters, or baking a pie for your man!

Yeah sure thing, guy. Tell me that when you tear all the ligaments in YOUR knee.

I got me a favorite new member, and it has nothing to do with the name "Billy!" That's a hell of a sig line dude...

If you can't win fair, then don't play at all. In saying that, injuries are a part of the game. They happen all over the league. If it is a illegal hit, then the punishment should equal the injury on said player. Not practical, but a thought.

It is only OK to intentionally injure sone if its Ben Rothelstitty any other steeler or Kimo Von olehoffen

Pay back is a witch
