Rogers ain't what he used to be.  Heard Greg Cosell on one of the shows saying if you watch tape on this guy he ad libs way to much and looks off his first and second options who are usually open.  Favre?

Wtf is wrong with Rodgers?  He literally forgot how to play football this game. Favre is in the stadium right now and I assume is contemplating coming out of retirement.

Pretty much the worst possible time for Prescott to throw his first pick. Inexcusable drop on the previous play.

It hasn't just been this game. It's most of the season, and the first half of last season too. And he's been a fumbler for years, he's never been elite in that category.

So they let Sherman get away with that and yet they hammer Carroll on a play where garçon tripped.

Inconsistent lousy officiating.

And Goodell is cool with it.

They wonder why NFL is losing interest.

yes ratings are down because sometimes there are bad calls

there have been bad calls in every game in every sport since the dawn of time but there hasnt always been twitter over reaction
Title: Re: Week Six - 2016
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on October 16, 2016, 08:16:42 PM
I knew you'd jump on that. Go ahead and defend the awful calls week to week. It's a factor - not THE factor - but it plays into turning people off.

Always the contrarian.

I mean look at igy - he'd rather watch cricket than NFL. People are losing interest. And that is a contributing factor.
Title: Re: Week Six - 2016
Post by: MDS on October 16, 2016, 08:19:15 PM
maybe because people are over reactionary morons to fake social media outrage. bad calls are a part of sports, have been, always will be. the only reason youre making a big deal of it because it was all over twitter.

its not defending it, its just a fact of life. and there is no absolutely no evidence to suggest than poor officiating is the reason for a ratings drop. its likely due to the election and a decrease in cable subscriptions. but thats not as fun a narrative as DURRRR da refs is bad DURRRR

For sure. The fact these fargs complicate the rules even more rather than simplify them is ridiculous. The catch rule doesn't need tha Pythagorean theorem to discern whether someone caught a farging ball.

Ball in hands and two feet down. farg the football move and omg it bobbled a half an inch.

Same with the defensive backs not being allowed to defend. Grazed the receivers jersey? Flag!

But they don't call it consistently. Why? No accountability. Led by Goodell and the money grubbing owners who don't give a farg since they're raking cash in.

But let lil guy tell it and he spins some story about faux social media outrage and Twitter. Anyone with half a brain who watches games and has done so for a long time knows what's up.

in 1996 there were missed PIs and PIs called that werent. omg. who cares.

if you want to complain about goodell go for it, hes a disaster, but it doesnt really mean or account for anything.you are chief complainer number 1 and you dont miss a game or a betting cycle. you are the pawn in their game.

i agree with him that this all has nothing to do with lower viewership...most nfl fans are too dumb or dont care enough to see intricacies of the game like this....if anything they love more offense cause of fantasy

i dont agree with him in that he thinks its a great game right now and better than its ever been just because its tv ratings are better

NFL ratings plunge could spell doom for traditional TV (https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/nfl-ratings-plunge-could-spell-doom-for-traditional-tv/2016/10/14/a7a23dc2-915f-11e6-9c85-ac42097b8cc0_story.html)

QuoteNetwork executives have long used the National Football League's live games as a last line of defense against the rapid growth of "cord-cutting" and on-demand viewing upending the industry.

But now, the NFL is seeing its ratings tumble in the same way that the Olympics, awards shows and other live events have, falling more than 10 percent for the first five weeks of the season compared with the first five weeks of last season. A continued slide, executives say, could pose an even bigger danger: If football can't survive the new age of TV, what can?

Football's traditional TV audience "is never going to be what it was again," said Brian Hughes, a senior vice president at Magna Global, which tracks audience and advertising trends.

The explosion of modern entertainment options, offered on more devices and at any time, has splintered American audiences and sped TV's decline, Hughes said. "Sports seemed to be immune from it — it was live, the last bastion of broadcast television. But [the world] has caught up to it now."

and that's the thing - the ratings are taking a hit.

Why? Overexposure is one reason IMO. Lousy games. Inability to flex out of any game. Who wants to see the Bears again in prime time? Do they really have to have Thursday nights? Nope.

I believe lousy on field product which includes the officiating is also a reason.

i never said its been better than its ever been. the game to me is about the same as its always been, just perhaps sloppier in the early stages because of the limited practice reps. you also have more injuries because guys are so much bigger and stronger than they were before, which leads to more back ups playing and therefore less talent on the field.

you believe yet you have no evidence. the product on the field is about the same as it was last year and the year before that when the nfl was setting ratings records. now, all of a sudden, 10% of the audience is like "this sucks, im out." nope.

i dont expect you to follow this like i do, but nfl exposure is flat to slightly up. meaning more people are consuming it, just not watching it for long enough to be counted by neilsen. its very weird. basically 10% of the audience is skimming it and not sticking with it. why? who farging knows.

this is more than anything the reason for the ratings drop. the nfl is impossible to predict. in april this seemed like a decent game. in october, it isnt. the tv contracts allow them to move things around, but not significantly so. i would anticipate the next tv deal, i think for 2022 or 2023, will be radically different in its construction to allow games to be moved around on a week to week basis.

a decent chunk of my friends still have cable. i dont foresee that changing over the next decade. then add in the boomers who dont die by then. its still going to be a significant enough portion of the country. i mean right now traditional tv still utterly destroys streaming consumption, specifically for live events.

its pretty obvious sports leagues are going to have to offer a streaming component to their next deals, to make sure they are available to cord cutters, but im not exactly sure how they will coexist with the traditional tv component.

I'm not saying they'd be better but having your full roster available would be nice.

Lil guy makes a point about it being fair but if they dug into it they could find a way to make it work. Maybe let teams have a DL. But that means more $$.

And I don't begrudge businesses from making money. Where I have a problem and this isn't NFL exclusive is when that desire affects their product. Which it has done so in the NFL.

In the next decade television standards will probably move from 1080p to 4k or 8k, and most places will not have internet speed capable of anything better than 1080p streaming quality. Comcast isn't exactly rushing to roll out fiber. TV will always be the best option to watch, but it shouldn't be the only free option.

you should quit this lumber thing and go be a social media manager. think of all the twittering youd do!

its pretty obvious sports leagues are going to have to offer a streaming component to their next deals, to make sure they are available to cord cutters, but im not exactly sure how they will coexist with the traditional tv component.

In the next decade television standards will probably move from 1080p to 4k or 8k, and most places will not have internet speed capable of anything better than 1080p streaming quality. Comcast isn't exactly rushing to roll out fiber. TV will always be the best option to watch, but it shouldn't be the only free option.

fox, cbs and nbc are free.

they also have a ton of money and will be willing to pay enough to prohibit their games from coexisting on twitter, google, yahoo, etc.

anyone who complains about the qb rules another reminder:

steelers have 2 games over the next month in the national window (pats, cowboys) now lingering as stinkbombs because of the rapistburger injury. in college the players are interchangeable cogs and its all about stupid rankings and century-old school name recognition.

in the nfl its about the players, specifically, the qb.

I don't have a problem at all with the league protecting QBs.  Low hits, hits to the head, late hits, etc.  The less of that the QB takes, the better.  I do have a problem when the rule demands a 15 yd personal foul penalty because a defender's hand grazes the QB's helmet or when a top tier QB gets calls that backups and middle of the road guys don't.  But even that isn't solely an NFL issue.  That shtein happens in every sport, though I do think it's more preventable in the NFL without damaging the product.

Not saying that ratings aren't down, but in this particular case, I think the enormous drop in ratings is due to the fact that you've got 2 mediocre teams playing and the country as a whole doesn't give a single farg about either one of them.  Hell, the 2 local markets barely give a shtein.  And one of the very few players who is considered 'must watch' is on IR.  Hell, I didn't even watch but a few minutes of it and I really enjoy watching football.

Monday night used to be legit. Sunday night was marquee. Now?

they added one additional national window and flipped the sunday/monday products. it has nothing to do with over saturation. its first and foremost the quality of the matchups and the competitiveness of the games. the election is a factor. trump's base is uneducated meatheads which of course is your typical nfl fan. also DFS web traffic is down big so that might have something to do with it.

the colts/texans game was down because it sucked. the cowboys/packers game at 430 was up significantly from previous years. it was a close game between two big teams. does this fit the narrative you lifted from twitter?

i believe there are unicorns eating crackers on mars. i can just believe things.

in the 70s and 80s when there was 1 national window (monday night), it was a big deal because that was literally the only game available to the entire nation. now every game is available to the entire nation. in every sport. if theres an over saturation of football, theres also an over saturation of cfb, nba, politics, game of thrones, lumbar, your bets, my swollen cock and on and on and on.
