Definitely a mixed bag on the rules changes! Kudos for the “blindside” protection, the initial head hits on “defenseless” receives, and the kick return wedges. Jeers for the extra UNNECESSARY layer of quarterback protection. Good night, I saw qb roughing called this last season when the qb wasn’t even knocked off his feet. Pretty soon defense won’t be allowed to lay a pinky on the qb and Myles will be given a million dollar bonus to play! Whatever is happening to good old fashioned smash-mouth football?

For oldtimers like me, the passing of Lou Saban is filled with mixed emotions. While he lost his job and the respect of the Bronco fans for his infamous “half a loaf is better than none” statement after tying Miami, as Pat Bolwen said, what Lou established is the basis for all the success the Broncos have had through the years. Pat, if you really meant what you said about Lou, his name will be on the ring of fame this season. It should have been up there many years ago.

I think the changes are better besides the fact that onside kicks are to get the ball back, not watch the other team recover it closer to the goalline

I disagree with the rule about diving for the quarterback when going down IT IS FOOTBALL people get hurt thats why there are pads pretty soon you’re going to have to tell each other before you hit them its studip it takes away from the ends you cant think about how you are going to hit someone you just grab something this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of.

At this rate, even Madden will be rougher than real NFL!

I guess this is all about money. Rules not made for a better game, but for protection of money invested in a player. I mean, too much money paid to a player for “his show”, and they don’t want that player watching the game at home, injured.

Broncooooos!

I hope I remember in about 20 more years, my kid’s kids will ask me if I remember the time where tackling was aloud in Football and if it was always FLAG football. I can see the reasoning behind some of these but come on let them HIT someone!!!
