After watching Morgan get flagged for 'excessive celebration' I was pretty livid about it!! Why does the nfl take all the fun out the game???

all those QB p***y calls. I guess you can sum them up as "Roughing the passer"

PI is pretty ridiculous I think. Maybe if it was a 15 yd penalty, but to give it at the spot of the foul? It's just way too costly, and refs are itching to throw flags as it is.

roughing the kicker, I think you should at least be able to tackle him above the waist

I like it too. Act like men, and stop dancing. Dick Butkus wasn't dancing around like some princess when he did something he was supposed to do.

Fixed. I hate those and roughing the kicker/punter. I understand why they're in place, but you shouldn't get 15 yards for a punter falling down after someone hits his toe.

the down by contact rule...when RB gets tackled and knee hits the ground, he is down and there cant be a fumble
But if the RB is running open field and dives for the first down without being hit by a defensive player, ball hits the ground and pops out...its a fumble and a live ball
i dont get it...the rule should be the ground cannot cause a fumble no matter what

The ground cannot cause a fumble, if it just pops out by itself then yes it's a fumble

Running into the kicker/punter.
If the defensive player is making a legitimate play on the block, it should be OK if he misses and runs into the kicker in the process.
