Too many bad teams, awful quarterback play making NFL games hard to watch

I knew a guy at work who was up to eyeballs in debt, couldn’t even qualify for a mortgage, but he spent thousands on 4 season tickets, every year to see the Giants.

[AppyPappy]

Yeah, we’ve never had a bad season before now

Although born and raised in NYC area, I live in Rochester. I know two guys here who each have two season tickets and travel to NYC eight times a year.

The kowtowing to the political agenda is sucking the spirit out of not just the fans, but the teams as well.

[Phlap]

This is why

[Midnitethecat]

The NFL is virtually flag football.

I hope they are in better financial shape than my former co-worker. I honestly don’t know how the NFL fills their stadiums with how expensive it is.

[Cen-Tejas]

.......I will state here the gut problem that in recent decades no one will talk about. Namely, the ever increasing inverse relationship of race. 70% of players are black. 83% of “fans” are white.

That’s a problem. Anyone that argues it ISN’t is in DENIAL.

What’s the fix? There probably isn’t any. On average, blacks are bigger, stronger and faster.........pure and simple.

They did it on foreign soil. Again.

Why we're protesting during the US national anthem at American Football games

[CincyRichieRich]

The NFL is virtually flag football.
...

And worse, metaphorically, the flags they pull to tackle are pink ribbons!!!

I'll pull on these ribbons as much as they want ...

MSM spin—how dumb do they think we are?

Really dumb.

Until no fans show up and no fans watch the games they will continue to believe we are idiots who can be conned.

Atlanta United football fans break all attendance records 71,974

Atlanta Falcons football fans 70,826 and 71,273 and 70,593.

Home Depot’s Arthur Blanc owns both teams...and the Mercedes-Benz stadium in which they play.

But Dallas is averaging 95,000 fans. So what is different about the Cowboys that they average 22,000 more than the 2d best teams on their best day?

[dfwgator]

They are also more willing to risk their future health to play the game.

A lot of parents aren’t even allowing their kids to play football anymore.

Thugball - not much fun to watch...

[Rebelbase]

Meanwhile, college ball is rocking along...

[fortheDeclaration]

The real question is, how did they beat Denver?

[fortheDeclaration]

Good points.

I hate Thursday night football!

Another issue is preseason games which are meaningless and the lack of proper training to prepare for a violent game like football.

They are not allowed to hit with pads enough to toughen their bodies for contact.

It is like forbidding sparring for a fight.

[fortheDeclaration]

This isn’t a team issue, it is an NFL issue, because they have allowed it and encouraged it.

[fortheDeclaration]

I think the quality of the Redskins has improved.
