Jetster Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 These primetime matchups have been horrific. The players are running the asylum. Cam with his stupid screaming & shimmying after making a play, wasn't this the same guy that turtled in his Super Bowl chance? The vast amount of horrible teams is mind numbing, flags are continuosly slowing the game down, I mean the Jets game had a holding call on the 1st play of the game. Meanwhile the New England Patriots are streaking again & somehow acquire Martellus Bennett who feigns an injury, gets released, and slides right in to a Super Bowl squad & plays on SNF? I know personally a lot of people who have turned away from the NFL, in fact I believe that fantasy football has become more important to the NFLs future than the actual games themselves which are really hard to watch. And why watch a game if you can just watch red zone? Goodell & these fat cat owners have finally ruined the game. More than half the league doesn't have a competent coach, let alone a competent QB. Week after week I watch Todd Bowles standing with his arms crossed like a wooden Indian statue, but when I'm watching WINNING teams like the Pats, Eagles, Chiefs, Rams, I see their coaches completely involved on the sideline, looking at photos, making actual notes, talking to the coaching staff, barking at the refs, letting their team know they have not been embalmed. With Todd Bowles announcing that the Jets are sticking with McCown, it solidifies my belief that Bowles & Macc are losers that need to go for the crime of passing on Deshaun Watson. If you have no faith in the 2 guys behind Mr. 6-28 Josh McCown passing on Watson is an unforgivable offense for a team needing a franchise QB in forever. First year ever that I will boycott the Jets. I can't support the kind of stupidity this organization shows year after year. Not only do I hope the Jets lose the next 4, I hope they get embarrassed! That seems to be the only thing that catches this owners attention! Those close 4th quarter losses just embolden this franchise into having us believe that we're just about to turn the corner. The NFL & this team are a joke & I hope Brady wins 5 more championships in a row to prove it! Love to see a 45 year old Brady take the Lombardi from Goodell, while viewership is at its lowest EVER with Patriot nation & the runner up losers the only ones who witnessed that crap.

JiFtheOracle Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The fans wanted the celebrating. That's why its there. This is not a problem. And Cam has been doing this his whole career. The NFL being skewed for the teams with power is nothing new. The Patriots are Cheaters, it's proven fact and nobody gives a **** because Craft pulls the strings. This sh*t has been going on for years and it's all good and the fans still tune in. The problem the NFL has is that games have become incredibly boring and the product is terrible. Flat out, the product sucks, the games are boring and slow and there are zero surprises in the NFL. Do you know what the only "upset" was in the NFL last week? The Bucs over the Jets. And anyone that knows the New York Jets, saw this loss coming from a mile away (except Pac). It really wasn't an upset at all. Therefore, there is nothing thrilling about the NFL. Maybe come playoff time you get an exciting match up or upset but 95% of the time in the NFL, the favorite wins. And that's why college Football is 1000000x more interesting and exciting. Every week means something and it's pure chaos. The biggest problem the NFL has, is the college game especially now with the playoffs, is 10000000x more entertaining. As soon as the "fans" that the NFL has been desperately trying to attract realize how much better the college game is, the sooner the NFL has to worry. I've always maintained the NFL was king...but that's changed. Between all the bull sh*t that surrounds the league, the terrible on field play, the lack of upsets...they just can't make the claim anymore IMO. And I'm saying this during one of the worst stretches that I've seen from Florida Football in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfield Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Nothing lasts forever. The NFL has been on top for a couple decades. Things have changed a lot in that time. Interest in sports in general is declining. Personally, I think there is a lot the NFL could do to make the product better, and I would be very happy to see that happen, but I don't think it would have much impact on viewership. There are just a lot of different options for your dollar and for your hour and the more casual fans are turning to other things. Personally, I am fine with that. NFL ratings are still higher than most things. Its still on TV. I am still able to watch. I would be fine with it becoming a niche sport again.

The Crusher Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Everything everyone else has said is true as far as I’m concerned. Yet for me I find myself disliking more players than I actually like or root for. Not just Jet players but all the players in the league. The emphasis is on branding themselves and making money. That in its self is fine I realize this is how they make their living but very few of them play up to the imaginary persona they created through social media. OBJ is a fruit loop head case that made that spectacular one handed catch that launched him as the face of the NFL. Now he had numerous embarrassing game antics and the pre playoff shirtless sausage party boat picture is the last thing that team actually did as a team other than lose miserably. Can Newton was cute with his Superman schtick and had a trip to the Superbowl and he flat out quit on that fumble . Mrs Crusher has watched football with me for twenty years and that’s the first thing she really ever noticed. Looked at the kids and said ,” You ever quit like that on your team like that and you will never play another sport!” The NFL making believe it’s a sport when it’s actually a reality TV show with the most contrived and unlikeable cast ever.

The NBA isn't great but it has some interesting star power at least, and casual college fans don't care about the college game until the NCAA Tournament anyways. But in football, the college regular season is huge, with every big game seemingly like a playoff atmosphere. and the 4-game playoff tends to live up to the hype. Last year's national title game was the best I've ever seen, even better than the Vince Young/Matt Leinart/Reggie Bush Texas-USC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relegation wouldn't work, but I'd like the idea of the CFL being bought out by the NFL as the NFL's "minor league", except the NFL would find a way to f*ck that up too. The NBA "G" League is a decent system. They have a separate draft of G-League players who aren't quite at the NBA level, or at least not yet. They could do something similar in the NFL. Fill that league up with undrafted free agents and/or have a separate draft. Teams wouldn't have to cut so many players in the offseason, they could designate a bunch of them to the minor league. This would be essential for QB's and offensive linemen, in particular. So many colleges use non-pro systems, the minor league would be useful to show them the pro system and see if their raw talent can cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Your right, the games are horrible. Just think about that sh*tshow we witnessed on Sunday. Josh McCown vs Ryan Fitzpatrick? That alone is all you need to know about the desperate straights the NFL is in today. Look at the lack of interest in the LA teams. That Rams team would be selling out MetLife every Sunday, that's for damn sure. Every game they turn to you see empty seats. Do you know HOW I know the NFL is worried? The networks are not happy with ANY loss of viewership & it will get worse once half the league are out of the playoff race. The other thing I noticed, the BLATENT attempt to heal the divide between Patriotic fans sick of the anthem bullsh*t & the corny suck up commercials the NFL is running along with the USA coaches jackets ect. Think about the team we root for, for the moment. Our owner is in England as Ambassador so he just hands the keys over to his brother, lol. Here ya go Chris. What the f*ck does Chris Johnson know about this team other than his silver spooned brother owns them? Namath made the NY Jets a household name, I was 8 years old, I fell in love with them. They were cool, he was cool. The city loved them. Almost 49 years later, here we are watching a f*cking 38 year old has been with a 6-28 record in his last 34 games & we're actually spending hard earned money for it! Holy sh*t, it's just mind boggling to me just how inept this franchise is. But I've got a great idea, lets fire Bowles & hire another neophyte DC to stumble around for another 3/4 years picking safeties over a franchise QB fully knowing & admitting his 2nd & 3rd young QBs are utter garbage. You just can't make this sh*t up when it comes to this team & the idiots chosen to run it over & over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it weren't for coaching incompetence neither would have started a game other than as an injury replacement in five years. Many of the rules we are bitching about, like Concrete Charlie, are designed so that the QB can where his tutu back there and not worry about getting injured.

Problem is the younger guys who would be the NFL's target market have many more entertainment options.Now A lot of them play fantasy, but that doesn't translate into watching one team nor buying tickets nor watching games. And as to we old folks, no desire at all to go to an NFL game to get hit off the head with the cash register and pay top dollar for that ...privilege.Have friends who had tickets variously for the Giants, Jets and Eagles. Either every person dumped them already or are are dumping them. And that's before you get to the typical white guy segment that is unhappy about the Kaepernick stuff. And as many have said , tired of watching a play to hear "flag is down". Holding and PI look completely arbitrary, and block in the back flags on special teams plays get thrown out of habit. One more thing;tired of IDIOT NFL people badmouthing NCAA football for run and shoot/hurry up offenses. NOBODY watches football to see ANOTHER FREAKING DRAW PLAY. Might want to incorporate something good about NCAA offenses and stop whining about how they don't play pro style offense. This pretending that there's something holy and sacred about watching the likes of Rex Ryan and them Todd Bowles give us crap run/run/3rd and 8 4 yard pass offense year after year but the NCAA is at fault because they aren't doing things right is crap.

Cam with his stupid screaming & shimmying after making a play, wasn't this the same guy that turtled in his Super Bowl chance? The vast amount of horrible teams is mind numbing, flags are continuosly slowing the game down, I mean the Jets game had a holding call on the 1st play of the game. Meanwhile the New England Patriots are streaking again & somehow acquire Martellus Bennett who feigns an injury, gets released, and slides right in to a Super Bowl squad & plays on SNF? I know personally a lot of people who have turned away from the NFL, in fact I believe that fantasy football has become more important to the NFLs future than the actual games themselves which are really hard to watch. And why watch a game if you can just watch red zone? Goodell & these fat cat owners have finally ruined the game. More than half the league doesn't have a competent coach, let alone a competent QB. Week after week I watch Todd Bowles standing with his arms crossed like a wooden Indian statue, but when I'm watching WINNING teams like the Pats, Eagles, Chiefs, Rams, I see their coaches completely involved on the sideline, looking at photos, making actual notes, talking to the coaching staff, barking at the refs, letting their team know they have not been embalmed. With Todd Bowles announcing that the Jets are sticking with McCown, it solidifies my belief that Bowles & Macc are losers that need to go for the crime of passing on Deshaun Watson. If you have no faith in the 2 guys behind Mr. 6-28 Josh McCown passing on Watson is an unforgivable offense for a team needing a franchise QB in forever. First year ever that I will boycott the Jets. I can't support the kind of stupidity this organization shows year after year. Not only do I hope the Jets lose the next 4, I hope they get embarrassed! That seems to be the only thing that catches this owners attention! Those close 4th quarter losses just embolden this franchise into having us believe that we're just about to turn the corner. The NFL & this team are a joke & I hope Brady wins 5 more championships in a row to prove it! Love to see a 45 year old Brady take the Lombardi from Goodell, while viewership is at its lowest EVER with Patriot nation & the runner up losers the only ones who witnessed that crap.
