BTN re-played this game the other night. I remember watching that game in my college apartment with all of my friends. Great day!

What struck me was how many plays I saw in that game that would be deemed as penalties in today's game. The game has completely changed. I saw at least 20 things in that game that would be considered a 15 yard penalty today. None of which were aggregeous, but with today's ticky tack officiating, that game would have been unwatchable with today's rules. The physicality is completely gone.

Agree.

Pure Wimbledon.
 
There's been some good rule changes to upgrade player safety imo. However it's now getting to a point where it's over kill and I think the game is suffering. Next stop is probably flag football at least for the QB's. It's not the kids playing either because if they were afraid of violent contact they would have chosen another sport.

Imo., it's kind of like the peolple who purchase a home next to an active airport and then complain about the noise, or purchase a house next to an interstate and complain about the traffic noise.

If the threat and violence of the game is something you aren't comfortable with (parents and/or kids), don't play.
