Stop pretending 2000s football was "tougher"—it was just sloppy

I'm tired of the nostalgia glazing on every highlight video. The 2000s "legends" were mostly guys chucking ducks and praying their WRs didn't get decapitated. If Donovan McNabb or Brett Favre played today, they’d lead the league in interceptions by Week 6. People act like the game got "soft," but in reality, we just stopped celebrating guys who couldn't complete a pass unless the defender was legally allowed to clothesline them. The 85 Bears defense wouldn't last two quarters today without being ejected for targeting. Change my mind
