The Blue Board

Holding calls that are away from the play that don't have any hinderance on the play whatsoever.

Obvious answer is the hard hitting penalty

I don't like the 5-yard chuck penalty. I think the rules are skewed in the offense's favor in enough other ways, so allowing defensive backs to jam receivers downfield would be a good way to even things out a little bit without risking player safety.

Roughing the kicker, the little shits barely get bumped and they go all Hollywood and act like they just got hit by a train.

I don't like the soccer-esque flopping, but to be fair, they're usually the smallest guys on the field and are in a precarious position to get hit and obliterated when their in their follow through. Surprised more don't get broken in half honestly.

Here's a good explanation of how football changed when the bump and run was outlawed:

"Under the old rules, defenders were allowed to make contact with a receiver until the ball was in the air. Defenders weren’t permitted to hold the receiver, but they were permitted to bump him. Lions cornerback Lem Barney invented the bump-and-run technique and it gave birth to a legion of cornerbacks that were big and physical enough to come up and support against the run, and athletic and fast enough to run with wide receivers and jam them as the two ran side by side. Shortly after the five-yard chuck rule was instituted, the face of the cornerback position underwent dramatic change. Small, quick types popped up everywhere; cornerbacks such as the Browns’ Hanford Dixon and Frank Minniefield. They were exempt from supporting against the run; just mirror the receiver and defend against the pass. The face of the quarterback position changed, too. Against bump and run, quarterbacks couldn’t throw to a spot because they didn’t know where that spot would be or when the receiver would get there. Against bump and run, you had to have a quarterback with an arm strong enough to get the ball there now, which is to say as soon as he saw the receiver had gained the slightest separation from the defensive back. The big, strong-armed quarterbacks of today could’ve played in that game, but the finesse quarterbacks of today, the Drew Brees types, would’ve struggled."

The running clock at he end of games

I love muff, but how come in football you can't advance one on a punt return. I don't understand the point of that rule.

Maybe somebody can point out why that rule is neccessary, otherwise let them score on a muff!

the ones the officials make up to benefit New England.
