Technically, he's not wrong. These new rules are likely a reaction to the perceived physical play of the Seahawks secondary. What they failed to realize was that our starting corners still play with better technique than others across the league and know how to play within the rules as they're written.

I find the poetic justice at play now pretty funny.

Opposing fanbases then: "Seahawks are cheating! NFL can't let them be so physical!"

Opposing fanbases now: "NFL is ruining the game with all these flags! What happened to physical football?!"

The ignorance that the media is perpetuating is just astounding. Can we please get some national journalists who care about facts? Is that really too much to ask?

Comments like Hall's are just going to continue to be spewed out in ignorance because that's all these guys have been told.

So much this.

Its hilarious. This was brought on because opposing fans needed excuses why the physicality of the seahawks was so dominate. So they bitched and moaned constantly. Now that they got the NFL's attention, they realize that it affects everyone, not just us. And they bitch and moan constantly.

Keep in mind that the rules committee is responsible for these wonderful new changes. This has nothing to do with Goddell. Coaches and owners got together to cry about the Seahawks.

Can't we just win a damn championship without somebody saying we did it on some technicality or by cheating?

Crymany!

Won't be long before they come up with the "Russell Wilson" rule:
QB's can view no more than 15 hours of video tape between games, can only rewind a given play a maximum of five times, and cannot study opponents scouting reports between the hours of midnight and 5:00am...

Crybabies.

They'd never go for that because it would affect Peyton far worse.

This assumes that our secondary is the only reason we won the Super Bowl and gives absolutely no respect to John Ryan. What an idiot.

It's not the LOB Rule. It's the Manning Rule. This emphasis has happened twice, both times after Manning got his ass handed to him.

Correct. It really has nothing to do with the Seahawks more about the fact that Peyton failed again. As Catire posted somewhere when they were showing examples of illegal contact the Seattle Seahawks weren't in one example. We did things by the rules as written previously and we will adjust and do exactly the same this year.

He sounds like he's been talking to cinnamonGirl.

Guess we just need to RePete with the new rules in place, be curious to see what the change then.

You might also give a little credit to Pam Oliver.

Any way Hall is a good player who has never achieved the greatness he believes he should have. He has to blame some one else for his short comings as a teammate.

Keep spinning that yarn....... So you are saying the egotistical CEO of the NFL is a "powerless figurehead"??? :34853_doh:
I know that's the popular stance amongst Rog's fanboys, but going back to Pete Rozelle the NFL commish's have had significant power.

Actually, yea, he is a figure head. He works for the owners, not above them. He is their spokesperson. He is also completely limited in the amount of power he has when it comes to rules.

Its ok to learn and not just hate someone because its the cool thing to do.

EDIT: I will add that I dont care at all about Roger or any commish for that matter. But its hilarious, because you are so gullible, and you arent the only one. He is there to take the directed hate, and you fall into the trap so perfectly.

DeAngelo Hall is still playing? He's been so irrelevant the past few years, I thought he retired.
