The NFL, more than any other league, has adopted rules to protect the 'stars', i.e. the quarterbacks. Who is to blame when a QB tries to block a 300 lb man running at full speed? Don't want to get sacked by two 300 lb men? Throw the ball sooner. The hits he took were 'football hits', part of the game. Spelling Bee's are competitive and non-contact. And televised.
No more ball punching! Someone will break a nail.
In Canada when someone makes heretical suggestion (like the above) to reduce 'contact' and 'injuries' it is referred to as 'pansification of the game'.
Want to complain about some of the referee's calls? Okay, I can see that. But I can't agree with anything you wrote.
On Topic: BF had a very good season. Good enough to justify his return.
