Im cool with it.

There are very few people who want to see injuries...you know who you are...but the first game this year was very quiet.  

What were the "dirty plays" in the second game?

One block that ended up being H2H during a play and one shot to the head on the AB TD in "retaliation" of the block.

And two days later everyone is still wetting their pants over the "violence".

Football is violent every play.  350 pound men run into each other as hard as they can on every snap.  But the optics of the plays when two players are isolated draw the attention.  And on those rare occasions (compared to the number of plays in a game) that a player doesn't jump right back up it draws even more attention.  As it should if it was deliberately dirty or late.

I'm not out there calling for it to be flag football or saying the NFL has gone soft.  I'm also not saying player safety isn't important.

But if player safety is REALLY the goal they would have better helmets...and they would care about all the players not just the high profile ones when they get hit.
