In Super Bowl XXVI, there were a lot of "catches" that wouldn't have been catches today. I remember one low pass Rypien threw to Byner that was called a catch and there was no way that would've been called a catch in today's game. Of course, there were also a lot of times where roughing the passer probably would've been called on the Redskins defense as well that wasn't called. The game was definitely called much more loosely back then!
It just feels so funny now, to hear the ref say "...he would have come down in bounds..." ... yeah and if there was no defender he would have scored a 90 yards TD, so let's give him 7 points?
With all the elements required to call a catch nowadays, having such a subjective rule sounds crazy.

Re: Around the NFL Off season thread 1.0

I don't like that change, if you tackle a WR on a deep route on the 10 yard line where he would probably catch it, he should be down there. Now if you do that, it will also take away from crazy GW catches like (MIN) this yr and others. I say keep the P.I rule but take away Illegal Contact

Re: Around the NFL Off season thread 1.0

The #Broncos are in talks to trade for #Redskins S Su’a Cravens, sources say. They are the team most interested and the likely landing spot for the talented former 2nd rounder, though no deal is done yet

Re: Around the NFL Off season thread 1.0

In Other Broncos news, they could be dumping Aqib Talib in order to make room for a big QB signing:

Denver Broncos CB Aqub Talib's Job In Jeopardy?

Hhhmmm....Maybe Denver sends Talib to Washington for Su'a Cravens, moves Roby to CB and Su'a takes Roby's place? Maybe that is what the deal is for?

Next up on the ONE UP contract list. Matt Ryan, come on down.

MATT RYAN CONTRACT: Atlanta Falcons near mega-deal for QB Matt Ryan that could pay him $30M per year | WSB-TV

Expected 30mil/yr. Kirk is loving this shit.

Matt Ryan is better than Kirk, and has taken his team to a SB, Still not worth 30M a yr but that's the market

If Atlanta Falcons had a better defense, running game and an offensive coordinator that understood the basics of running out the clock they would have easily won the Super Bowl in 2016.

Apples and Oranges. Big difference between 1st tag and 16 million & 3rd tag and 34 million.
