the comeback has already started!

if the falcons were smart they would just sit on all these short routes and make peypey prove he can go down field. if he beats you with that then so be it. with the ducks that peyton has been throwing out beyond 20 yards in the first 2 weeks i doubt he can win that way

That's a terrible idea. The problem isn't that he can't throw down field, its tht those balls stay up in the air forever. If they sit on short routes they can give up some good windows for Peyton to throw deep.
 
Honestly---why can you horse collar in pocket? Is it just from a safety perspetive that they assume one isn't moving much and therefore a horse collar in pocket won't do as much damage?

You're allowed to horse collar on a tackle?

The NFL announced several rules changes on Wednesday, but one proposal that didn’t make it through the voting process was to make horse collar tackles on quarterbacks in the pocket illegal.

The rule was proposed by the Steelers and would have made it illegal to yank down a quarterback in the pocket by the back of his shoulder pads or inside collar of his jersey. Given the growth in protections for quarterbacks in recent seasons, it’s a bit surprising that the proposal wasn’t met with enough support especially since this is the rare instance where quarterbacks are fair game when the rest of the players on the field are protected.
