Packers: We need to talk about these roughing the passer penalties

Inconsistency and unreliability from both the offense and the defense is why the Packers lost. However, two weeks in a row the new NFL rule that is designed to protect quarterbacks has ended up going against Clay Matthews in big moments.

The new rule for for roughing the passer cost the Packers a victory last week, and it reared its ugly head again in Week 3.

Now I think all football fans agree in some form or fashion that the new rule regarding a defender “driving their bodyweight” into the quarterback is bad.
