I have a bad feeling about where this will lead.
Officiating this will be a nightmare. IMO
This guy on that team gets called but that guy on this team doesn't -or- called on similar hit in first quarter, not called on similar hit in 3rd quarter then called late in 4th quarter on similar hit altering the outcome of the game.
It seems the NFL decision makers will be constantly making changes year after year going forward to possibly make it appear that they are on the cutting edge of "caring" about player safety.
Making changes to "prove" that they "care" to the point of going too far.
The Miss America brain trust leaders just showed their cutting edge ability to "care" by eliminating the Swimsuit Competition which some fans of watching Pageants may not like.
NFL fans may not like where this all leads to, say within another decade.
