Early-season ratings decline continues for NFL (Update: Ratings plummeting((officially in free fall)

[prime]

It's a mixture of things more people including myself are streaming games,the older crowd really don't like the "new football" as they call it if you talk to most older fans they say the game is too soft and gives QBs and WR a unfair advantage but me personally the NFL was at it best in the 80s you a 4 to 5 teams each year that had a legit chance at going to the super bowl each year in the AFC and NFC now it's only 5 teams in the league that really has a chance to go to the super bowl

The league is so watered down now, there's barely a difference between good and trash teams.

I know that parity is supposed to make it more exciting but parity shouldn't mean bad football. There is bad football being played.

College football boomin like a mufugga tho

I've always slightly preferred NFL over CFB, but this season I'v been a little more interested with watching CFB Saturday games this year than NFL Sunday games

That game was alright. What was really boring was bengals/steelers on week 2. A division rivalry game and it felt like nothing and I just turned it off.

shyt is whack.

No Leveon, no Bryant, no Vontaze, no Eifert. What angle do you even play up? Too early in the season for that match up to be too exciting. Why the NFL would schedule that game knowing they suspended Taze the first 3 games is beyond me.

Quality of games overall seems just lesser this year IMO

I think a big problem with the NFL is that there has been so much emphasis placed on Quarterbacks and they have changed the rules to make QBs the focal point of team success...but theres really only 3 or 4 in the whole league that are impressive.

People criticized the NBA for promoting individual players over teams but the NFL has low key done the exact same thing with the QB position. But at least the NBA actually had the stars to back it up...

Damn breh only 3 or 4?

Damn breh only 3 or 4?

Boesky said 3 or 4.... Personally I'd say only 2....Rogers and c00n Cam....System QB's like Brady dun impress me

When you have your fans watch an absolutely AWFUL Browns vs Dolphins game like the one this past Sunday, your ratings deserve to take multiple hits.


When a division consists of Ryan Tannehill Ryan Fitztragic and whatever QB the Bills field to go up against the fantastic QB system being run in New England , you deserve that hit.

Every week is do or die in CFB.

You lose and your chances of winning a chip DRASTICALLY decrease.

Must see TV.

Most teams aren't in the running for a playoff spot but they still play a more exciting brand of football. College offensives are more unique.

NFL games are wildly inconsistent week to week. Fitzpatrick has a great game then throws 6 picks. I'm supposed to sit through that?

Also game manager QB's make for terrible TV.

But it's the upsets all it takes is one week of you not coming out on top of your game and to the summer jam screen you go
Plus in just one week you have clemson/Louisville 2 explosive qbs
Michigan/Wisconsin 2 challengers. Gonna see who real who fake
Stanford/Washington same as mich wisky really.
