The new rules for defensive backs and the refs adjusting to them, are killing the flow, rhythm, tempo, whatever you want to call it. For some reason, I thought it wouldn't be as bad as preseason. Wrong.
The SF-CHI game was painful to watch. A ref today could throw a flag on every play between what DB's are not allowed to do and holding around the line of scrimmage. Bring back the concussions, let 'em play. Of course I'm not serious about more concussions but enough is enough. Legal hits drew flags yesterday only because they looked and sounded like hard hits.
Also learned that Washington looked better with Cousins, or maybe it's just the Jags D making him look better.
