The biggest bullshite rule is that if a defender is on the ground he can't dive at the QB's legs to tackle him...the Brady rule.
What kind of bullshite is that? You used to be able to tackle a QB by his helmet or clotheslining him, head slapping him...
Now the QB has like a strike zone...a defined and limited space where you can touch him...above the knees but below the chest.
I remember when the Niners hit Brees in the chest and he fumbled and that was a penalty.
You can only sack the QB in the most perfect form tackle ever seen and it has to be around the midsection.
That's not football.

Back then it was a players' game, thanks Dr. Omalu and Roger Goodell for dismantling that concept

It is a bad rule, but IMO the only thing that makes it terrible is that it is one of the easiest calls to make (was he on the ground, did he dive at the knee) and the refs still do not call it consistently.
IMO the 2 worst calls are the way they have changed the defensive receivers definition essentially eliminating big hitting safety's from the game. I understand not wanting players to launch at other players, or making a huge hit after it's obvious the ball won't be caught. When a WR is stretched out to catch a pass and the defender makes a big play to separate the WR from the ball Rafael Bush on Percy Harvin comes to mind), it should be a legal call.
The other is the Hines Ward rule. Depending on what angle a player is coming from, he cannot block a potential tackler even if he uses proper form and gets his head & shoulders across the potential tackler's face.
