So, so, so, so, so, so. I was never unhappy. I just thought your post was, not nonsensical necessarily, but lets say, basic. Where does the rationale you're using stop? Mahomes threw his only TD pass after KC was up on Denver 30-9 in the 4th quarter. Was that cool?
What was a close game early in the 4th qt @24-20, turned into a Bucs blowout win over the Raiders. When the Bucs scored the last 21 points of the game. Including a 1 yd TD by Brady for the last Bucs TD with about 4 minutes left in the game. Was that acceptable?
Those are just 2 examples from yesterday. But you could come up with all types of examples on numerous types plays every Sunday. Knockout shots, 50 yd TD runs, 70 TD passes, long INT n Fum ret for TDs, sack strips for TDs etc. Often times come when a game is out of reach for a team and at a time in said game where they could be deemed unnecessary for any purpose other than padding a players stats regardless if stat padding is the goal or not. Dalton was doing his job in trying to advance the ball for the Cowboys, Bostic was doing his job in trying to prevent that from happening. Both were playing @ full speed. It was unfortunate and something a player or a fan hopefully doesn't wish an opposing player, but damn, it is what it is. Logically speaking there's no way in hell human beings should be playing tackle football. especially human beings with the size, speed, power and strength of NFL players.
Try as they might. The NFL isn't getting rid of injuries or vicious helmet to helmet collisions. They'll just keep bullshitting and letting offensive players abuse rules and defensive players. While at the same time penalizing defensive players for things they can't possibly avoid. As I alluded to earlier. I'd bet any amount of money 90% of purposeful and accidental helmet to helmet hits would cease if players weren't wearing helmets. Everybody would learn to tackle/lead with their shoulders almost overnight.
Edit:
Nevermind.
