The Football we all Know and Love is GONE

We are entering the era of fast football. Where big/strong players are not used as much. Where power running will be a thing of the past. No longer will those big physical atheletes have a sport to play except wrestling or weight lifting competitions.
Now it's all about who has the fastest players and who has the most luck with trick plays. They are taking physicality out of football with all of the new rules. Defensive players are now handicapped and defensive schemes are no longer effective or useful. Everyone just recruits offense now.
I hate where football is going. Its reminding more and more of basketball and its starting to adopt the playoff system. Next thing you know, there will be a 64 team playoff in football and the regular season wont matter. It will just be a bloated mess.
Look back to this post in 20 years and you will realize I was right and will be seeking answers.

This is the second or third time this has happened. Miami Nebraska game back in the 80s kicked off the speed movement.
NOT the first time and not something new.
Just because Bama lost to Ole Miss does not mean college football has just changed vectors. It usually comes back to a solid defense and the ability to run the ball. If not, Oregon would have won multiple NCs. They have not.

If he says "Targeting" is turning football into pussyball then we'll let him talk

Tell Bert quick, or did Cliff Kingsbury do that already.

It's getting more like college basketball where in-game coaching and strategics is more heavily weighted than before, and one playmaker, especially a dual-threat quarterback, can make you go from a mediocre team to a playoff contender.
Big O-linemen are not effective if they aren't athletic. Same with D-linemen. In-fact, you'd almost prefer smaller-quicker than big/immobile space-eater.
The game can now be won away from the line-of-scrimmage and offenses are designed to do that which is different than ever before.

This much is obvious. I think the biggest difference is in what is required of defenses nowadays.

We beat ULM. Its just that now defense can't hit opposing players without flags being thrown. It sucks. I loved seeing people being knocked around until they didn't want to play anymore. Thats what made football special.

If you like this then go sit in the parking lot after a game. Hear they are breaking jaws after Bama games.

Go watch the LSU-AU game then. It was just the AU defense that quit.
