I tried explaining this to the Mule Toolers the other day and they didn't seem to grasp it.

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.
This.

To add to the consensus of opinions here, it's becoming just too ****ing expensive to go to games for the average fan or the fan that hasn't been invested in it for years to come. I think that annoys a ton of people as well, so they tune out.

It was a comical moment and they replayed a one second blip of the backwards pass and not the idiot who was celebrating while a loose ball was bouncing around. There is nothing fun about the NFL anymore, it's all serious business. Plus, it seems any meaningful rivalries have long been killed off due to player movement and salaries.
While it's easy to claim it's their right to do so, and perhaps it has been allowed to become the case, but that's a solid point. Regardless of if they have the right, or if it is right, it's now at the point where loyalty is only from fans to a team.

One thing that is killing my interest is it sure seems like the number of injuries have skyrocketed in the last several years. Fantasy football is one thing keeping interest high in the NFL but I can see that waning as well since half of your fantasy football team is on IR by week 6. Christ, we even have long injury lists for the opening week of the season, I don't remember that being a thing until very recently.

I think the fanduel/draftkings fiasco is what hurt the NFL a little...

The numbers were at all time highs when those 2 places were in full swing...

I'm glad theyre gone....though.

Stop Thursday night football and ****ing London regular season games. Stop the subjective nonsense on flags and focus on real penalties. Bite the bullet and pay out on player safety so we aren't forced to watch fifth string rejects at key positions.
It's been said a billion times: Goodell does what the owners want.

I guess receiving a full education with paid food and housing along with a platform to exhibit your skills is "nothing".

This is beyond stupid.

Two keys reasons the NFL is rolling over in ratings:

1. Too many games on too many days have diluted the hell out of it, including the stupid 3 games in London in the morning they steal from fans tailgating for their home teams.

2. The No Fun League and stupid rules for penalties for celebration, what is a catch, and all the other silly crap that is slowing the game down and turning it into 4 hours of interruptions and penalties that have turned so many people off.

I'm in no hurry to watch any other games like I once was.

Pasta Little Brioni 11-02-2016 10:46 AM
I still slightly enjoy the games, but not near as much as before i discovered it was basically the WWE.

It also has the reverse effect the teams are so similar that now 1 or 2 individuals nailed down to long contracts + the Franchise Tag (QBs) mean there is imbalance. Basically if you dont have a QB you suck 90% of the time.
Salary cap has made it a no brainer to give maybe three veterans yuge contracts and then fill the rest of the squad with rookies or veterans playing just over the required minimum.

Mark Cuban made point 1 a few years ago and was basically laughed at. Turns out he is right on if the ratings continue to slide, as I expect they will.

Nonsense firstly I said "next to nothing" that is comparative considering CFB is generating billions of dollars through TV, advertising, Gambling a load of people are getting rich off these kids I find attitudes like this stupid. Add to that the money they are generating is used to prop up other collegiate sports that cant make any money. Again exploitation!
