I don't understand why, in the highest grossing professional sport...we have all these little pussy rules that do nothing for the game but make it less exciting. Pretty soon they're going to establish a "be nice to the loser" rule in which they allow teams to catch up, so nobody can be beaten that badly....and a buncha other dumb rules...

Yea, that's pretty stupid. The silent count makes the game. It keeps the D ready and is exciting. Don't get rid of it. This is just another reason why College Football is better

There used to be a bowl game that was played in Hawaii that had that rule. The team that was losing in the second half would keep the ball until it had tied or taken the lead back.

Football players and Motorcycles DO NOT MIX, at least that's the way it seems lately.

I wonder how good he's gonna do this year. He caused a big hype when he got drafted so I wonder if he'll live up to that

Unfortunately you're probably right. The Packs probably won't be contending again this year. It's too bad but I'll stay by their side
