probably because the weather is unseasonably hot and people aren't sitting around watching football.

it's not like you have anything to say...*shrug*

They need to do away with TNF.

NFL is a sham and the cheating and unAmerican conduct effects viewership.

 

[Xathor]

It's a combination of things, but the left wing political agenda in the league is a significant factor. People watch sports to get away from politics, they don't want more of it.

Whelp --- number one, it's only October even now (and a strikingly warm one), number two it's the strangest and most notorious election season ever.... and number three the Cubs are going to the World Series.

Freaking DUH.

Perhaps people are realizing that football sucks? Lamest American sport ever. Constant interruptions, constant pauses....boring.

Want to watch real athletes? Watch baseball. Watch basketball. Watch hockey.

 

[TheOldSchool]

The games have been pure shit. There are maybe 8 teams worth watching, and only when they're playing against each other. Some of these blowouts look like we're watching amateur college football.

The parity the NFL's always so proud of is now due to most teams being equally shitty, instead of equally good.

On tv?? Lol

Hopefully it'll affect their salaries in a big negative way. No fans, no money.

I had to completely agree with you on that Old School.

The NFL game has gradually deteriorated ever since they decided to artificially pump up the scoring by hobbling the defense with ridiculous rules changes.

The left wing political agenda is also pronounced in ESPN's ESPY awards. It's like watching an infomercial for all liberal social justice causes.

Agreed. And they've taken all the fun out of the game. People used to watch to see what players would to after a touchdown or a big hit. Last week Vernon Davis was flagged for fake shooting an arrow over the goal posts after a touchdown. So lame.

You can't get away from left wing propaganda......on almost every show they are pushing it...even Gotham is pushing this crap and why I stopped watching it.....

 

[WillowTree]

I love college football the only NFL team I watch is Tampa Bay.

Or limit it to a few division matchups at least. The short week is hard on the coaching staff and players. Result is sloppy games, especially early in the season.

There were so many penalties during mondays game I fell asleep.

You know, regarding the kneeling, the way I see it is everyone can have an opinion and that is fine. What pisses me off is the network and announcers still after what 6 weeks now have to point it out and discuss it and blah blah blah. I don't want to hear drama, I want to watch some damn football. Show the friggin game and leave the politics out of it.
