2018 NFL Season ends: Patriots win Superbowl!

The Bears D was good last year.
 
How are you supposed to tackle someone without at least some of your body weight falling on the person? It's physically impossible. It's an absolutely terrible rule.


That's as clean of a hit as your going to get on a QB. Terrible call and terrible rule. They might as well put red jerseys on QBs this year.

Contact is a nanosecond after the ball leaves Cousins’ hands. There’s just no way to play the game if that’s a penalty.
 
Yeah, if you can't hit the quarterback, the NFL has a problem.

I mean, it is getting to the point where you almost don't want to take a chance on sacking the QB in certain situations. That's just absurd.
 
And the hit was made between the hips and shoulder pads and he did not throw the QB to the ground nor drive his body weight into him. If anything, he held his left arm out to try to break his momentum. Good, clean hit!
 
If that hit is a 15-yard penalty Damonte Kazee should be banned permanently from the NFL.
 
Man, the Bears traded the treasure chest for Mitch freakin' Trubisky when Pat Mahomes and Deshaun Watson were sitting there at 10. Woof. That's gonna sting for about 15 years.

second lamest sports moment in my time in Chicago, behind only D-Rose going down

Kazee wasn't even penalized on the field because Torrey Smith got upset.
 
Mike Florio on PMT yesterday said they might as well make the rule that QBs are treated the same as kickers and punters at this rate. You touch them after the ball is out it's a penalty.
 
The Bears were one of the first teams on the NFL to have a black full time starting QB in Vince Evans back in the early 80's. Have they had one since ?
 
2018 NFL season thread. Week 2: Seahawks at Bears MNF

Kordell Stewart started a few games after he left the Steelers.
 
Yeah, Jason Campbell got one start as a backup to Jay Cutler too. One year in Chicago for both of those guys.

They can't do that because then QBs would just start dropping the ball whenever they felt about to be sacked. In all honesty, they should just go to two-hand touch on QBs. Clearly the NFL doesn't want Rodgers or Brady or any other ELIte QB hurt, which makes perfect sense from a business standpoint -it is the most important position in any major sport. You need to keep the aggression up on the defense, so you can't eliminate contact completely. So just go to two-hand touch on QBs and get rid of the BS calls.

Recall seeing soon-to-be CFL legend Henry Burris stinking up the joint for the Bears against the Panthers in '02

NFL to use Matthews penalty in teaching video (of a CORRECT call)

"The NFL will include Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews' controversial roughing the passer penalty on a teaching video it distributes to clubs this week to emphasize the "scoop-and-pull" tactic Matthews used when he hit Kirk Cousins is, in fact, a foul, NFL.com has learned."

I...don't see it, at all
 
I swear to god, it's like the league is trying to annoy its consumers as much as it can. Holy hell.
