Pleased to say that I didn’t watch at all, even though the Pats (my favorite team) and Philly (my home town team) are doing great things.

This is bigger than my desire to watch them play.

The Patriots-Jaguars matchup Sunday night on CBS was the lowest-rated game of the weekend, with a 16.6 overnight.

Hmmm. I thought the Pats beat the TITANS on SATURDAY night. By halftime, the game was not really in doubt, so a lot of people (me included) turned on something else.

Death of a thousand cuts:

Free agency.
Too many penalties.
Too many rules.
Too many commercials.
Too many replays.
Too many head injuries.
Taking to long to resolve replays/challenges.
Market saturation.
Too much emphasis on passing game.
Shortage of quarterback talent.
Decline in announcer talent.
Lower level of play due to ignoring football fundamentals.
Player protests.
Too much ugly showboating/taunting, poor player behavior in general.

Haven’t watched a game since October but did watch the highlight reel of the Vikings game.

It wasn’t that great. The college ball games have been excellent this past season.

The catch was spectacular but the arrogant ego dog-and-pony show in the end zone ruined it, IMO.

As a former follower of the nfl, I couldn’t even tell you who’s in the playoffs this year.

Meanwhile, the Georgia-Alabama national championship game drew half the house holds in Atlanta estimated at 2 million viewers and nearly 60% in Birmingham. It drew high numbers around the country as well. Compare that to the Falcons who drew less than a million even in Atlanta and you see where our loyalty is these days and mine plans to stay there.

I think it’s a combination of boycotts, and less popular teams playing this year.

Hey, it’s not any problem as far as I can tell.

The dopes chose to give that idiot Roger Goodell a $200 Million contract extension, let them reap the rewards.

I only saw the Minnesota Miracle on account of this YouTube clip.

Thank you YouTube. You saved me several hours of my Sunday afternoon. You always saved me from watching whoever of those players decided to kneel during our national anthem.

I'm quite sure that the New England Patriots will cruise to their 8th or 9th Super Bowl (who's counting?) so I'll be looking forward to the YouTube recap of that.

I cant wait for the super bowl. how many here plan on watching anything other then the super bowl. the numbers from this event will be the one that breaks the back of the league management and have the owners realize that this problem is not just going away if they try and just wait it out

You’d have to pay me to watch the NFL. Since that ain’t gonna happen, I won’t be watching.

“. Finally, the Vikings-Saints duel Sunday afternoon on Fox drew the best overnight rating of the weekend (21.8) but was still down 23 percent from last year and 17 percent from 2016.”
Had a tough day at my job not complaining - I love my job but this brings a big ole smile to my face!

Correct me if I am wrong. But the famous star quarterbacks lost to the young nobodies. Falcon’s Ryan, Saint’s Breese, Steeler’s Rothschild, Seattle’s Wilson is out, Green Bay’s Rogers is out.

It is now Brady all alone against a bunch of nobodies.
