I have a feeling some "helmet rules" penalties will affect games in the final minutes. in close games, players tend to resort to whatever it takes to win, including lowering their heads to initiate contract. until now, every tackle football player is taught to lower their head when running the ball or tackling the ball carrier. There may be controversies in every single game with this new rule. I don't know if the NFL thought about this enough.

A hit from the latest slate of preseason games shows what was once thought of as a solid tackle. Now it’s a penalty, I don't even know what to say.

Looks like the league wants players to chest bump instead of tackle.

Just abolish the game already. I really don't know how many more times I can say this, football is a COLLISION sport, not a contact sport! What part of this do league officials & some of you fans not comprehend? You cannot make a COLLISION sport safe in anyway or manner. Since pop warner, these players have been taught to lower their helmets when hitting a hole or putting your helmet dead center on a ball carriers chest. Now we're gonna see tons of broken tackles cuz the defense is gonna be worrying about a 15yd flag, you will see a game where the Giants are winning by 2pts in the final minute of the game become a loss due to some pansy ass ref throwing a flag on a legit tackle that will turn a 3rd & 12 defensive stop for the Giants into a 1st down & put the other team in range for a GW FG. Mark my words, this BS pansy ass rule will cost teams wins not only in the reg season but the playoffs as well. Just do as Jack Lambert once said, put a dress on everyone & let's turn the game into flag football. NFL's become a joke.

No good coach had ever taught players to lead with their heads.

BS, I played tackle football in pop warner & HS, my coach's said " put your facemask dead center on the Riddell label on their chest! & drive that mofo straight back into the ground. Did I say the top of the crown of the helmet, no. You sound fine with this BS pansy ass rule, don't be bitching bout it when it costs the Giants a game or 2 this yr.

Complaining about violent hits in football is like complaining about blood in a hospital or on a battle field. I signed up to serve my country in the Marines knowing full well that I could get killed or maimed while in the corps. These players did the same damn thing & they don't have to worry bout getting killed on a daily basis like I did when I was in the sandbox in Iraq & the Stan back in 03/04. Every damn day I was there could have been my last on earth, so plz GTFO with this trying to make the make "safer" BS. I've said this before & I'll keep saying it, football is a COLLISON sport! Big strong powerful fast people have to collide with each other for 3+hrs every Sunday/Monday/Thursday, there are going to be injuries, it's part of the game of football. It's why they get paid millions of $$ to play a violent collision sport. Don't want a broken bone, torn ligament, or concussion, don't play the game. You cannot arm tackle a 235-240 lb RB coming at you with a full head a steam w/o putting a helmet into him. 90% of the time it's the RB coming thru the hole who has his head down to make himself as small a target to bring down as possible, are they gonna be told to run upright now? Are they gonna get flagged by the refs 10-12 x a game for lowering their heads? Are the games gonna be so flagged filled that they now take 4+ hrs to finish due to 35-40 flags getting thrown on almost every play? How are us Giants fans gonna feel when a BS helmet flag flies out against our D on a 3rd & 17 & 20 sec left on the 50yd line that gives the other team a 1st dn & in FG range ^ they kick a GWFG to win a game thanks to the BS helmet rule. What if that game costs us a playoff spot? You gonna be OK with it cuz ya know, safety of the players comes 1st?
They already have changed kickoffs where like 90% of kicks go into the EZ so hardly any chance of a run back so there goes any chance of ever seeing a KO returned for a TD. They now have changed the punting rules as well to make it less physical on punt returns. C'mon now! The QB & WRs are over protected as well. Why even bother trying to play defense when all the rules are in the offense favor. The days of ever seeing a defense hold teams to under 200pts on the season.
1976 Steelers allowed just 138pts in 14 games for an astounding avg of 9.8ppg, they had 5 shutouts that yr including 3 in a row! You will never see a defense pitch 2 shutouts in a row again, let alone pitch 5 in a yr.
So for those of you worried about how the Giants D is gonna do this yr, why bother, the rules favor the O in every way, let's just pray our O can outscore the other team 35-27 every week.
Really need to change the name from NFL to PPFL- Powder puff football league.
