Title: The modern NFL is a terrible product.
Post by: Custard on November 13, 2024, 12:15:03 PM
My team sucks perpetually

Most of the teams are thoroughly mediocre by design

A handful of well run organizations dominate the leagues despite efforts to level the playing field

Star power seems lower than any time I can remember

There is nowhere near the excitement and pageantry of college football

Teams lose ON PURPOSE to gain an advantage

I feel like most high functioning people only really connect with the NFL through fantasy football and/or betting unless their team is really good.

I have a hard time watching the games when they aren't recorded and I can skip through the BS

That’s definitely part of it.

Taylor Swift is the best thing going for it. And that’s not a good thing.

Manning, Brees, Brady have been replaced by Richardson, Carr, and Mayfield.

Carr and Mayfield have been around.

And largely mediocre.

Mayfield has his moments.

He’s not a first ballot HOFer though. Or a 7th ballot HOF.

And these coaches that have to go for 2, or don't kick the field goal, and end up losing games (largely) because of it, I just don't get. And the kick return game has been neutered.

Post by: Safe in the Pocket on November 13, 2024, 02:16:09 PM
If you’re on the road going for 2 to avoid OT is fine. But yeah, there are some unnecessary gambles out there.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t matter how hard you white knight for Custard. He’s not going to let you blow him.

You should know by now that I don't white knight for anyone on here. PAMan and Custard will both tell you that we've had our differences. Sure, I get along with them and agree with them more often than not, but it's not all chocolates and flowers.

I have zero animosity. Just felt like getting on here and triggering you today. That's about it.

So you’re a “douchebag” is the correct answer. Sounds about right; mystery solved.
