[QUOTE="Forget Favre, post: 406661, member: 2006"] Bogart, I have nothing but respect for you and your posts. Here we may have to agree to disagree or acknowledge that we each have different perspectives. Football has changed since the 70's and 80's. Obviously. So I think that is something that we will all have to get used to. Especially the Detroit Lions and their fans. It is still a tough and aggressive game while at the same time the NFL is doing all it can with what it has to reduce injuries and to protect the most vulnerable which are the defenseless players such as the QB and the punter. I'll admit that I am basing my opinion on the Lions being dirty players from the opinions, pictures and videos that Frank Rizzo has been providing on earlier pages. Especially the ones where the defender is grabbing the QB by the head and throwing him to the ground. I ask not just for you [U]but for anyone to answer[/U]: Is that right? Is that the way aggressive football should be played in 2011? Tackling by grabbing the head? Or hitting a vulnerable spot such as the knee which results in a season ending injury? To me, it looks like the Lions are playing old school football that does not belong in the 21st century. And I would like to think that when it comes to fines, that the NFL looks at it very carefully and is not just handing out fines like Halloween candy. There are two things I hope for: 1) That Aaron Rodgers will have the best protection possible on every throw or to escape the dirty defender coming for him. 2) That I will not have to come in here after the game and write "See? I told you the Lions are dirty players." based on any injuries to any Packers. Especially Aaron Rodgers. Matter of fact, I would love to be proven wrong. [/QUOTE]
