I sat Goff in favor for Fitz on my fantasy team.

Should have known Fitzmagic is fools gold.

Yeah, Fitz has a history of having some good to very good games, then returning quickly to Earth.

As a backup, he is a solid addition to a team. Not who I'd want as a starter long term, unless you really have zero good options.

Why don't we just make it two hand touch on the QB only, it's seriously worse than the catch rule right now...they gotta tone it down

You can't drive or spear QBs to the ground anymore. #21 of the Steelers did just that and got called.

Oh look a sack. Ha.

Yeah it was one of those matchup deals. I have Rivers as well. Just thought Fitz could be in for anouther big game against the Steelers. So far I'm regretting my decision lol. But I should still get the win.

Another sack for a league trying to flag every single sack past, present, and future.

I don't get it. The Steelers lber hits fitz a couple of secs after the whistle, no flag. Isn't that more dangerous than the sacks they're throwing flags on?

That would be a win, actually. Two hand touch would kill RB's that are big or swift. No more powering through tackles by Big Ben, Carson Wentz, and Jameis Winston, and Cam Newton.

Having said it, I'd hate it.

Yeah, I'd probably hate that too

Bring back Deacon Jones, headslaps!

I get that my dude, and I'll admit I'm being a bit dramatic with my reaction. I just wish that they would tone it down. It seems like every hit on a QB is illegal. I'm almost more worried someone is gonna snap on the field and think "Well hell, if I'm gonna a get a flag for hitting the QB, I might as well really drive him to the ground....it's a penalty either way, but one might just mean I get to face that shitty back up instead of this all pro. It's a foul if I try to kill him or try to let off right??"

They just missed a golden opportunity to pull within 3 points of the Steelers with 8 minutes left....shoot.

They are. The fact that the only play people are complaining about is this Clay Matthews one. It's not the norm. QBs are still getting sacked and taking shots. Ryan Fitzpatrick just got creamed on a TD pass, no flag. Phillip Rivers took shots, so did Jared Goff, Russell Wilson is the most sacked QB in the league, etc etc.

Which according to the clips from the Skins and Packers game isn't called the same. The Skins guy literally picks up Rodgers and falls on top of him. The rule sucks and the implementation of it is even worse. It would be somewhat ok if they all called it the same but it's not happening.

I'm not on that Clay Matthews wagon, he clearly put his full weight on the QB. That's a penalty by the new rule. But it's too much of a judgement thing, what's the intent and all that. Bottom line...I absolutely hate when refs get air time

EDIT: I forgot what thread I was in lol FitzMAGIC seems to be back eh!

No, he wrapped up first. It was a hard tackle, yes. He twisted Aaron Rodgers to the ground, not speared him down. Very similar to an Aaron Donald ragdoll. Also he didn't drive his weight down on the QB either.

At least Fitz came back and made a game of it. See if the Bucs try to screw with their offensive chemistry and put Jameis back out there going forward.
