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

[the cool]

You know what could help the NFL besides good matchups.

Every primetime game kickoff must start no later than 8:05 pm. There's enough pre game bullshyt just get to the game. Halftime shouldn't be close to 10pm the third quarter should already be under way.

Holy shyt I didn't even factor in the east coast time zone. Y'all got it bad out there. Games start at 8:30 Monday and Sunday nights wow

the season is like 4 months long and yet people complain about too much football
what does that say about the sport

lets be real, NFL is so popular because of betting/fantasy more than it is for the actual product.

All this talk about the election but, was there a ratings decline in the NFL in 2012 & 2008?

Yup

In 2008, Tom Brady missed the whole year yet the ratings were fine

1. Let players express themselves and have fun.
2. Lighten the weed ban.
3. Let defense play defense. Enough of these BS pass interference.
4. Own up to ref mistakes and do something about it.
6. Stop favoring the Steelers, Patriots owners.
7. Create minor league like the NBA to develop players.
8. Fire Goddell.

Can you name 5 compelling personal angles/matchups in the next 2 weeks that would make you set aside time to specifically watch a game not involving your team?

Might have the lowest Super Bowl ratings we've seen in a while. The buzz for the game is minimal

Buzz is just low. I've watched about 1-2 playoff games this year and haven't been interested in the game at all for tomorrow. I'm probably gonna play my season in NBA 2k or gears of war. If my brother gets online maybe one of the halo games. Lack of interesting stars, the afc being a foregone conclusion every year, one team having no personality and the other being in a market that doesn't have many fans.
