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

[LastEmperor2k2]

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.

Man you gotta be kidding.

Brady going for 5 against an Elite offensive team, yea that wont draw anyone

I'm a football fan and I have zero interest in this match up. I'm so tired of the Patriots always seemingly being there. But hey if you're the type to love whatever the nfl does, than this match up is right up your alley

"The type to love whatever the NFL does"

What does that even mean?

Basically, if you're a fan of NFL football this matchup is right up your alley? Or do you mean if you're a fan of overaccentuated offense due to rule changes etc...

Pats got the best D in the league, so that is a questionable statement if that's what you're making

Same here. I used to always take Monday off. Now? I don't even care who wins. This has been a really shytty season.

I think the protests factored into some of that low viewership. I read a lot of folk online talking about not watching for that reason.

It's definitely an interesting matchup. But it feels like a Week 12

The funny thing is after the first 3 weeks or so, who was protesting?

Protests werent even televised, miss me with that "I can't watch this because he's kneeling" shyt


But out here at least, no one is really buzzing about the Super Bowl, i had to force my friend to host a few of us becaus no one even cared to have a SB party. But it's the Super Bowl, it will do numbers....even tho there is defintiely patriots fatigue. Runs like this were better pre-24/7 news cycle, these days it feels overwhelming to have one team so dominant and talked about.

Does it?

I think maybe people just so used to New England in there the hype ain't the same.

Falcons are pretty bland, i think that may have a lot to do with it, people don't view them as big time

 

[itsyoung!!]

I havnt cared less for a super bowl in recent memory

I need the falcons to win

It was always overblown and agenda driven. The top 2 reasons were the election and the retirement of star players.

Kap was protesting from the preseason. Folk wanted the NFL to suspend him.

Bruh, it is part of it as I read some poll somewhere about that being an issue. White folk pissed as fukk about the protesting...televised or not.

Can't lie I can care less bout to this whole season. And I tried to care, but I don't honestly

@JLova how about all the brothers leave and let the cacs play eachother see how much the ratings drop

I think some of them would want it that way, to be honest.
