They go too far and seem to error on the side of caution in an extreme way - flag and fine for incidental contact and hits that clearly weren't directed at the head or neck. That's what is taking away from the game.
the decreasing death/year is due to advancement in medicine/equipment. You need a lesson in causation.
I don't have a problem with them trying to prevent helmet to helmet collisions. Have you read any literature on CTE? Scary stuff.
Football can still be a violent game. Just don't use your helmet/target the helmet when playing it.
10 years from now its going to be flag football.
But when the receiver or ball carrier lowers his head such that his head is now in the target zone, then please do not penalize the defensive player for trying to make a hit in the target zone and reward the offensive player for being a retard.
You can't flag every helmet to helmet hit because they happen on every play. You wouldn't even be able to field a punt return team if every helmet to helmet hit was a penalty. Saying "helmet to helmet" hit is a danger is a sign you never played organized football -- that's half of the contact right there.
