My Chiefs excitement is right where it needs to be, but yeah.. most every other team matchup leaves me bored or not bothering to tune in at all this year. I can only imagine how unplugged other people with more going on in their lives than I are. I have all the time in the world, and still don't care to fill it with game after game.

Not a surprise that people are losing interest. Better things to do.

outside of the Chiefs, i dont even watch football anymore. Its gotten stale. It has nothing to do with Colin Kaepernick either. It has to do with the ref's making horrible calls. It has to do with the defense not being able to play football. I see a pass on sunday where the Defensive back LET the WR catch the ball because he was scared to make the hit due to the fines. Im sorry, thats not football for me. I dont find that shit entertaining.

Yet, MLB players make more money then the rest, but thats not the point. The NFL isnt the same as it used to be. Godell is running it into the ****ing ground. Its only going to get worse and worse as he implements more stupid ****ing rules.

Players don't work as hard under the new cba. Only Bill demands his players study at home and when they mess up he embarrasses them. Collins was their best defender but just didn't get on board with his way so he sent him packing to the worst team in the league. Practice makes perfect and they don't practice enough in the off season so the product goes to bad.

that.

and, I'm REALLY ****ing tired of a player performing a routine play and getting up and screaming at the sky, or walking like a tough guy while looking at the fans/whoever etc. Its like dude...you just caught an 11 yard pass. Or dude, you just made a tackle on a 5 yd game. Kelce is one of the worst in this regard. Catch a 30 yd pass and take it to the house? Celebrate, that's awesome. catch a 15 yd pass on a dig route.....better get up and do some sort of signature look at me for the camera on such an amazing play.

tired of that shit.

Agreed and quit pushing your political beliefs around. Let the players play and punish them for not being "professional".

When the league forces the Chicago ****ing Bears down our throat for 10 primetime games a year what do you expect.

New rule: you have to have actually gone to the playoffs to play in a primetime game game the following year.

I watch less, but mostly because of my work schedule. Sunday, Monday and Thursday night games are on too late on the east coast, not to mention the weekday matchups are usually terrible. I still watch football on Sunday's but I haven't seen a college football game in a few years because I have been working OT on Saturdays.

I still watch the Chiefs, but that's about it. And if the Chiefs start getting their asses handed to them this week, I might rake leaves or golf.

At one time I think the Denver/Oakland match-up would have been a must-see for me (in hopes of a meteor), but I'm not sure that'll command my attention this week.

All that being said, I don't think KC, Cleveland, and Detroit fans are a good measure, we've been let down and abused in more ways than just the product taking a bit of a dive.

One has to wonder how much more the ratings will fall when the old guard of QBs hang em up.

Eli
Brady
Rivers
Romo
Brees
Rothlisberger
Rodgers

Factor that in with the fact OLs aren't allowed to practice together as much as before the most recent CBA paired with the influx of pass rushing talent and you have a very dangerous position for a sport trying to compete for the best athletes with sports that give fully guaranteed contracts to their players and you can understand why the league is losing fans.

They need to stop being so greedy and put the whole "Thursday night football" travesty to rest and move the Sunday and Monday night games up an hour minimum.

How is a family with kids supposed to even watch a game that doesn't end till 10:30 or 11:00? Sorry, but my kids go to bed at 9 so they get enough rest for the next day. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way.

They have over saturated the market.

Combine that the endless stream of commercials which turns a 60 minute game into a 3 1/2-4 hour marathon, officiating that is as bad as we've ever seen, and growing perception that officiating is slanted in favor of certain teams, people are becoming disenchanted with the product.

It's a QB driven league and honestly, if there have been quality games in prime time this season featuring big name QBs... I've missed it.

Brady was off 4 weeks, some are injured and/or on teams that suck.

We have a youth explosion that could be good, but it's all uknown. Hell, I was watching a promo for OAK/DEN on SNF... the first few scenes feature Lynch. (??) The casual viewer has to think "Who is David Carr - and are these both backups?"

I think there's been a lot of fail with the primetime games.

Packers, Saints, Panthers, Steelers, Colts... none of them are doing much of anything really. A few have decent records, but there's not a big story line or much drama at the midway point. The big thing is the success of the young QBs and I don't think that's really selling, which is weird.

The game I was most excited about watching recently was TEN/JAX... I don't see either team much, so while the game sucked early... I was enjoying it because I just don't get to watch those guys.

The refs swaying games is absolutely a legit factor.

It's completely obvious in some games.

I do think there's something to messing with the routine... TNF, SNF, MNF... London games... it's a mess.

I find it almost impossible to sit and watch a 3+ hour game. Commercials and crooked refs add to my disdain. DVR us no help because scores are plastered all over the TV and internet. Have no interest whatsoever in any non Chiefs game.
