If they really throw flags like this

I think Mark Cuban is right about the NFL not being the most popular sport in the U.S.A. in a few years if the NFL continues to make ridiculous changes like this one. The offense already had a big advantage. Now it's going to be even worse. We're heading closer & closer to flag football.

More like arena football.

Watching this Eagles Patriots game is just brutal with all the flags. Its hard enough to watch preseason football to begin with but damn!!! Just saying.

It's just horrible in the Eagles-Pats game. Refs will need rotator cuff surgery if this keeps up.

Seahawks just had a pick called back for touching the receiver.... Q$@#^!ing unbelievable... You can't expect DB's not to touch receivers..... NFL is asking the impossible...

the bears game cleared out at halftime on Thursday. local news reporter were asking them how the game was and nearly every one made a comment about the flags

I've seen about 5-6 preseason games in the first couple of weeks and they have all been taken over by flags. Hopefully they are just working on the kinks and it wont be the same when the regular season starts. Otherwise we will start seeing some 6000 yard passers in the league pretty soon.

The flags and penalties are the main reason why football will never be my favorite sport. Just let them play and if it isn't flagrant, let it ride is what I say.

You guy's hear Chip Kelly.... LOL ... He's beyond happy about the new rules... all the guy does is hurry up offense, He loves doing Laundry with no defense... WTF I thought he was gonna give Goodell a trophy or something... Sorry Chip but real football people want defense and appreciate good defense... This BS will end because Goodell is gonna get hammered soon....

its preseason and they do it every year. refs have to get their practice in as well.
