re: I hate where Football is headed

We're going to get laughed at in this thread because we root for Alabama, but I agree.

It's not just the offenses though. Them, added to all the fricking rules specifically designed to ramp up the scoring, are really annoying. Yes, I know it's a personal problem.

DBs can't touch receivers. Hit a guy too hard and there's a chance of a penalty. Don't stare at a QB too hard, penalty.

I know it's really easy for me to say this because of how successful Alabama was at it but I really enjoyed watching Saban and Kirby play chess with the opposing offenses. To me, that's the most fun style of football.

I hope it has to do with Alabama being a bit down on defense this year, but my enthusiasm for the way the game is headed isn't like it used to be.

Question...why can't defenses sub whenever they want? Not complaining, would just like to know. It's disheartening to see some of Alabama's(and other teams) dynamic style be game planned around by simply keeping the same offensive guys on the field. Again, I know it's not a popular opinion and just a personal problem.
