The fact that I have watched about 10 combined of what looks to be a very competitive football games show just how unimportant the NFL has become to me outside of my involvement with the Pats and my football pool. But that doesn't stop me from having a few observations.
1. Can't help but notice that the last 3 times I've seen the Rams play, the OTHER team was successfully stopping their offense they were using some variation of the 6-1 D. That was the Pats, Saints, and now the Seahawks. Only goes to show how good ideas seem to spread in the NFL
2. The Roughing call on Seattle that cost them 4 points was a lot closer than the announcers would lead you to believe. Ansa's head was well about Goff's knees. Given that anything close to the head isn't allowed, if you can't hit a man in the thighs, players have about a 15 inch aiming point to tackle a QB these days.
Maybe they should just make them ask permission before tackling them. Or better yet just give the QB one of those flag belts and if you get one the QB is down. I mean that sincerely. It would be a fairer solution
I have no interest in finding out who will win. Going to read a good book. Gia-Jin by Clavell. Read the entire series 25 years ago. Just as good again now, and better entertainment than Thursday Night Football.
