Watch the 1985 Bears. Or heck watch Double D play for this team. I always thought Montana was the GOAT but Brady out titled him. You look at what they had to do week in and out and the changes are massive.


I am old so whatever

The game has changed unfortunately, in some cases, for the better. Nobody wants to see a QB get maimed and sidelined for a year anymore. I wouldn't mind, and I was born in 1988. I only saw a few slobber knocker's in my lifetime. The last great hitters I can remember were guys like Dawkins, Taylor, Reed and Polamalu from the secondary. 

Lewis was a mean linebacker. There a few others. Those days are gone though I fear. I get it. When your QB is getting paid a quarter of a billion dollars? They're going to get pampered and special treatment. Do I agree with how the game is played today? No. Should the Zebras do a better job across the board calling out these blatant hits that violates today's rules and game? Absolutely.

Adapt or die. That's what the NFL was faced with. They chose to adapt.
