Am I alone in thinking a lot of folks are making a much bigger deal out of this than it really is?

Last week was a bad week as far as dangerous hits go, the NFL is making like they're dropping the hammer on this, but in reality once the dust settles they know that big hits are a part of the game. That's not going to change. They're just trying to reduce the potential for the major injuries... concussions, paralysis, etc. It's a hot button issue for the league right now and they have to at least put up the front that they are aware of it and trying to address it.

It's not going to become flag football. Yes hitting is a part of the game, but the league is right in being concerned about traumatic injuries.
