that's the Green Bay defensive coordinator's fault for calling man instead of zone then
Pick plays don't work against zone
saw it again on Thursday in the Eagles/Packers game. Howard, the running back, runs a flat out of the backfield and an Eagles receiver intentionally runs route right into the linebacker responsible for covering the runningback. The receiver didn't even try to hide this one, he just shoulder checked the linebacker right when they met clearing Howard for a walk in 20 yard touchdown.
such a bull play

still doesnt sit well with me. I guess you could technically stop it with zone, but i hate the idea having to stop playing man to man due to a cheap gimmick that any team can run.
some asshole saw this loophole a few years ago and now everybody is whoring it to death. It's time to adjust the rulebook accordingly by throwing flags for this when it's obvious.
Belichick, duh. And we all know it's very hard to stop Brady with zone so that's why the Patriots offense is pretty unstoppable when they decide to lift a finger.
I do think teams might want to try hard flat cover 2 against the Patriots again, with Gronk no longer in place
anyone claiming Brady is the worst pick play offender. Peyton d the pick play touchdown way more than anyone else ever did.
i do remember the Broncos running it in 2013 or so, but regardless i dont have as much of a problem with Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, etc doing it but moreso when scrub quarterbacks (ala 2012-14 Russell Wilson) get huge chunks of passing yards off of it
Make challenges such that you get whichever ones back that you win. That stupid "you have to win BOTH to get a third" needs to die.
Ties need to die. Lions look pretty good this year but would like to have seen them have a chance to win with a post-OT FG kick off to win, I'd trust Prater over Zane Gonzales of Arizona.
going back to what DD and I discussed on page 1... this "defenseless player" makes no sense when its a receiver who is in the process of making a catch. are you required to stop playing defense if a receiver is diving for a ball?
that was a clean hit... refs only throw a flag if the receiver stays down tbh, its bull
