BULL! The rule is meant for the safety of the players. A lot of players got hurt by players trying to block kicks falling on them, especially those who ran a bit and got a 'boost'. So it shouldn't matter if the line was forced back. The rule is meant to protect players, not to prevent an 'advantage'.

I don't see a lot of college players getting hurt. They can do it.

ACK!

Can they land on other players? I've never seen that before. And does that matter? Really, since NFL players didn't get injured without it, does that mean the old 'Halo' rule wasn't for the protection of the return men?

three out of the four hosts on HBO's Inside the NFL show

Unfortunetly that isn't saying much .

Since the 'Halo' rule is gone since it was needless, shouldn't this rule be gone also?

ACK!

Why do you assume the halo rule is gone because it was 'needless'? College football decided that the rule caused problems (you have to eyeball the halo, etc.) and a more NFL type rule is less problematic so they switched it. They still have a rule to protect the player (you have to allow him to be able to catch the ball).

Imran, you can see the replay on HBO. It is clear that the guy from the line runs into Rice, not the other way around.

4 undefeated teams still left... Colts, Vikings, Panthers, and Chiefs.

There should be some good games today... Are you ready for some football.

[Ned]

Well the Vikes don't seem to be playing. Carolina goes to Indy. Both teams are undefeated. KC goes to Green Bay. The odds suggest that the day ends with Indy and the Vikes being the only undefeated teams.

[Ming]

I think KC can take the Packers. Even in Green Bay.

The packers have looked terrible this year. They did look good beating up the Seahawks... but otherwise, they have looked very beatable. The Chiefs have looked great.

I think this might be the toughest game KC has had yet. If they can beat Green Bay, well, they may be good enough to win it all.

[Ming]

Yeah... it will be tough. But the Packers have been "beatable" at home this year. The weather is nice

[Ming]

And after saying that... GB draws first blood on a 1 yard TD pass to Franks.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I'm sorry Sloth and reis. Damn!

[Ming]
