Question: How much money did you lose today? (We’ve all been there) Speaking as probably one of the few people left that doesn’t gamble on sports at all..not even fantasy….( doesn’t make me any better than anyone it’s just not my thing )…I can say that gambling has destroyed the NFL for fans who don’t gamble …we are the minority so they don’t care …but unless you are gambling the NFL is unwatchable. I casually watch now ..mostly cuz of relationships I’ve built on this board over the years ….the product is THAT bad . 6 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shawn306 Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 Honest question…..Does anybody like the NFL right now or thinks that it is better now than it was say 10 or 15 years ago ? Maybe it is because the Jets have been so bad for so long, but to me with all the rule changes to protect the QB and to generate more scoring has made the game totally unwatchable. There is no team identity. There are no Steel Curtains or Doomsday Defenses. There are no great rivalries like Cowboys vs Redskins, Raiders vs Steelers, Bears vs Packers where players legitimately did not like each other. Everyone now has to be the same. Well guess what it SUCKS. 9 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimmy 2 Times Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 The new rule changes suck, but it's especially bad for us because they don't protect the scrubs like they do the stars. Watching Jet quarterbacks get hammered every week for years while you can't sneeze on our division rivals gets a bit unbearable. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

undertow Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Going for it every time on 4th even when it's at your own 20 is ridiculous and makes the game hard to take seriously for me for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post T0mShane Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 The older you get, the less things are geared toward your preferences. The NFL doesn’t care if 45+ year-old dudes are happy, because they know for a fact that you’re going to watch it anyway. There is no competition for your attention. The NFL changes the rules and realigns its production to attract younger, more profitable viewers. The 24 year old kid who’s paying attention to the NFL because of his DraftKings or FanDuel account is worth exponentially more to advertisers than our washed-up, broken-down old asses. We’re just the furniture now. 13 3 5 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Untouchable Posted October 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2021 I’ve mostly hated it for a long time now. I watch out of habit, more than anything. Between the Jets sucking for a decade, the increasingly sh*tty officiating, rule changes every year simply for the sake of rule changes, and all of the completely fake political BS being shoved down everyone’s throats…the product is terrible even compared to just 10-15 years ago. At least boxing seems to be making a long awaited comeback. 4 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
