It would be interesting to see how many commercial interruptions occur in an NFL game now compared to 10-15 years ago. Whether that's due to quicker scoring offenses, replay, rule changes resulting in more stoppages, etc. There seems to be little flow to most of the NFL games I watch anymore. Also, it seems like flipping between games now is pointless because every time I flip, they're always at a commercial break. Maybe that's just my perception though as I don't watch as many games as I used to.

I didn't think the Red Zone was going to be that big of deal, but the ability to flip to the Red Zone, during the commercial break of the game I am focused on, is really nice.

I realize for many people it is not a viable option, but when I watch the prime time games, I'm watching them off the recorder (without knowing the results) and skipping the commercials.

Just say no to watching commercials.

I watched the same amoutn of football as normal, so I can't explain it really. I'm just guessing. I do tend to think it's over-saturation, some terrible games (the Monday Night and Thursday night games especially are often just terrible), and color rush doesn't help.

I doubt it's "PC-ness". What is/isn't a catch has been an issue for like a decade so that's not new.

Could also be changing demographics. Are they losing younger viewers who tend to be much more focused on their iPads etc?

Even with Sunday Ticket Max, I'm watching less football than in prior years. I barely watched the Denver-Carolina, Patriots-Texans, Cowboys-Bears, last night's game and most of the afternoon games. The Sunday night games have been boring and non-competitive.

It's pretty much the Chiefs for me this year and that's it.

I'll watch Max because of fantasy football. But it's not like I'm really watching it because I'll put the overview on that shows 8 games and I'll just move the audio around depending on if my player has the ball.

The only afternoon game I've watched this year was the Chiefs-Jets game.

We were at the beach last Sunday morning for a birthday party, so I didn't watch any of the morning games.

I'm just not interested, I guess, outside of the Chiefs.

Whoever said over saturation is totally correct. I never thought I would say there is too much NFL. But there is.

Kap is a 2nd string QB.

Why wouldn't he sit down?...

Oh, I should mention one more thing -- a couple of guys on a local talk show think replay review is ruining the game. The lack of ability to cheer for a great play -- was there a flag? Let's wait for there replay review that it was a catch or TD. Ok, NOW cheer, is making the game less enjoyable in their view.

As one guy said (more or less): "I'm willing to suffer a few blown calls to increase my enjoyment of the game, because right now, it's really hard to get truly excited when a great play ahppens because I need to wait for a flag, and then wait for the replay review to confirm"

I hadn't thought of it that way. I'm a strong proponent of replay review, so maybe I'm biased. I'm willing to wait a bit to "get it right", but maybe they have a point?

Yeah I agree with you. I like the replay review. It sucked when a blown call that cost you the game was just the way it was and there was nothing to be done about it. I think they just need to reduce the amount of reviews is all. And most importantly, they NEED TO BE QUICKER ABOUT THEM. It shouldn't take 10 minutes to review most of these.

And of course they have to change the catch rules. Clear possession and 2 feet/elbow/butt down and it's a catch. The ground only matters if the receiver is falling while making the catch. None of this crap where a player catches it and takes 3 steps and then falls down and it comes out on the ground. It's a really simple judgement call the officials should make. Clear possession and feet/elbow down.

That is interesting. Case in point: week 1 against SD. Chiefs in OT drive down and goal to go, Smith runs the ball in on an option. Because of the review, I was forced to hold my breath through a commercial break to see the result/outcome of the game. It certainly takes some of the pizazz out of the game

The reason ratings are down is in small part Trump, and in huge part that the officiating SUCKS which causes an uneven flow to the game.

Missing Brady, Manning, and Romo doesn't help, either.

I don't think officiating is an ounce worse now than it ever was before. Now, however, with 24 hour sports channels and the internet, everyone can obsess over every call to the nth degree for days and days.

It's like pedophilia -- it's not that anything has changed so it IS worse now, it's that PERCEPTION has changed so it SEEMS worse now.
