I'm on board with getting rid of Thursday games. Not enough time for teams to properly prepare compounded with players having less recovery time leading to a complete shitfest more often than not. It's hurting the quality of the overall image of their product.

I BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR A THURSDAY NIIIIIIGHT...

Said nobody ever.

I watch college football to get my fix anymore. The NFL is the Chiefs and that's about it.

How big of a pussy do you have to be to quit watch the NFL over players kneeling?

I'm sure there are like dozens of people that have though.

Clearly, you don't read the Sunday Ticket thread because NO ONE pays full price.

I paid $159 for Sunday Ticket Max this year.
Oh lord. Okay, so here...
-There are 20M DirecTV subscribers
-There are a projected 100M TV households
-19.5M cut the cord

Meaning there are 80M households who have no access to out-of-market games unless you go to a bar/friend's house. I'm betting plenty would gladly pay for online streaming if it was available. It's literally not even an option.

So you're saying that if you open up subscribership to 100M households instead of 20M that you won't see a significant bump in subscribers? That the NFL doesn't get hurt whatsoever by not offering convenient viewing options to 80% of US households?

I appreciate that players can protest as long as it doesn't impact the game.

I don't agree, but I respect their right...
This

Peaceful protest is at the very heart of the existence of the U.S.A.

All these inbred idiots say the NFL should block the protests one second and then say complain about the government taking away their rights the next. :doh!:

Are you under the impression that the NFL is the government?

You really fail to understand this: The NFL is GUARANTEED $1.5 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR with Direct TV.

Why in the ****ing world would they take their business elsewhere, which doesn't include guarantees, in a time of declining viewership?

You're ASSUMING that more people would subscribe but it's just that: An assumption.

You can order the most basic DTV package for $29.99 and get Sunday Ticket FREE or you're charged $259-$359 each year with the most basic package.

If more people WANTED Sunday Ticket, they could purchase it.

People are finally realizing games are directed towards a certain result. I know for a fact whoever the team that won last year was caused many to give up football for good. It was that blatantly rigged. The Rams leaving caused a HUGE segment of fans to do the same.

Are you under the impression that in someway changes to point of the issue?

Hiding behind a company does NOTHING to change whether it's oppression of personal freedoms or not.

It's sad that some people actually want the right to peacefully protest squashed by any entity. Government or not.

I like of the idea of instead of doing a kickoff you have a punt. Or rather, you treat it as, say, 4th and 5 from the 30 yard line so the team can go for it if they want. The yard line and down distance can be tweaked as needed.

For something even more contrived, I think it would be interesting if it starts out as 4th and one. If the "kick off" team ever converts fourth down instead of punting, then the next kick off goes to 4th and 5 and then maybe it goes to 4th and ten and stays there for any more attempts.

It would make it easier to have comebacks and make for a more interesting decision.
That would be awful dude.

Now NFL games are rigged?

NJChiefsFan 09-30-2016 05:22 PM
What's weird is that I still love watching the NFL yet I enjoy reading stories about its demise. Not sure how smart that is but it's just my natural reaction. Perhaps it's me hoping it will make Roger look bad. Maybe I want the elitist NFL-only fans to understand other sports have fantastic draws. IDK.
