| Are we having too many fumbles?
Has the new fumble rule come into play in your games, good or bad?
The league is always interested in your comments.

| In Week 4 Game Packers @ Redskins, there were 3 fumbles. Packers "D" forced 3 fimbles and recovered 1 time. It seems there is less arguing, as the "Simultaneous" hits has been removed. It appears the 2 "D" players touching the ball carrier on the turnoff of the switch has resulted in less disagreements.

. . . "It seems there is less arguing, as the "Simultaneous" hits has been removed. It appears the 2 "D" players touching the ball carrier on the turnoff of the switch has resulted in less disagreements."
The Fumble rule in our 2013 Rules still reads that a simultaneous hit on the ball carrier by two defenders can cause a fumble. Apparently, in the text of the rule as it reads in black and white, the "simultaneous hit" element hasn't been removed. ???
