It’s almost impossible to tackle QB now. No idea how you avoid your weight going on to someone when you tackle them. 

Exactly. Play like hell to try and make a play on the QB…….but please don’t touch him. Absolute nonsense.

Thing is, if you try and rotate your body while in the middle of the tackle so you don't land on top of the QB, they'll flag you anyway because that usually ends up looking like you 'slammed' them to the ground. Then there's the nonsense of Edge rushers getting around the OT by going low, only to be flagged for a low hit because they grab the QB around the waist.

They should just make the QB wear flags on their hips because it's clear the league is terrified of the poster boys getting hurt.

Also high time the nonsense of 'Defenseless Receiver' was binned.

While the ball is in the air all players on the field have an equal right to go for it. If you got clobbered at the point of making the catch, that's because you made a choice, not because the defender did anything wrong. The reason it became a thing is because modern O's idea of 'open' is nothing remotely resembling what it once was. They throw passes that would never have been thrown in days gone precisely because they'd have got someone hurt.

As usual though, every single decision is taken with regard to whatever furthers ridiculous offensive numbers and points.

17-6 to the Santa Clara 49ers at HT. the home side have dominated the time of possession. Our inability to get off the field on 3rd down has been the biggest factor in this game. Purdy hasn’t even been that good and they still have a 2 score lead. 
 

On a positive it’s our best 1st half of the season 👍🏻
