    Week 9 2017.


    I watched the Giants this weekend go 14-3 up and then lose heavily. That was fun. I hate the new (to me) kick off by the way. So boring.

    I think the new kick off is great. Far less boring than the ball going into the endzone for a touchback every time. The new rule encourages teams to run out with the ball.

    I haven’t seen anyone run past 30 yards yet…

    Really? There have been several touchdowns and 50 yard plus runs.

    It is probably just nostalgia, or the fact I tend to watch NYG, but there are just so many penalties now, the defences seem sloppy. I know you can’t train properly anymore due to safety guidelines, and way too many players are paying for how hard the game used to hit. Doesn’t feel like the same sport though.
