As sad as it makes me (I love defense/defensive games and running the ball), this is modern football. We got picked on one of the big plays Pittsburgh had, last I checked that stuff is supposed to be flagged, but it never seems to be, much like offensive holding. Unless its us of course, then its fair game lol. This is all the NFL wants, pure excitement, nothing but offensive explosions. 

The rules are just way too slanted towards the offense, and it has diminished my passion for pro football quite a bit over the years. What cracks me up is these rules are for "player safety", but I don't see them applying any rules equally on offense and the defense.
