Re: 2016 NFL Thread
I was so pissed yesterday when Michael fumbled that ball away to seal the win for the Rams yesterday. I was ready to enjoy them blowing it at the last second. Stupid Rams. They let me down constantly when they were here and now they're still letting me down in LA. I shouldn't be surprised.

While I was disappointed in their win, I think we'll satisfied more often than not this year when rooting against that team considering they haven't scored a TD in the first 2 games.tlombard wrote:I was so pissed yesterday when Michael fumbled that ball away to seal the win for the Rams yesterday.

I liked Farewell's take on the win. Just enough to keep Fisher employed.cardinalkarp wrote:While I was disappointed in their win, I think we'll satisfied more often than not this year when rooting against that team considering they haven't scored a TD in the first 2 games.tlombard wrote:I was so pissed yesterday when Michael fumbled that ball away to seal the win for the Rams yesterday.

I don't remember the specifics of Josh Norman's comment yesterday but I'm still laughing about it. I didn't catch the entire thing but I guess a reporter asked him why he didn't cover Dez Bryant more or why he was playing on a certain side of the field or something and Norman said that he doesn't work for anybody but the Washington Redskins (and then named who he doesn't work for and included the media) and that if the coaches tell him to do something then that's what he's going to do. Even if they told him to pick up trash in the stands after the game, he'd be in the stands picking up trash.

Has the NFL reached it's peak? Has the market become saturated?

Through six nationally-televised 2016 prime time games, the ratings have dropped in comparison to the 2015 equivalent in each and every slot.

Re: 2016 NFL Thread
One game at a time, without another game to flip to or update makes me realize how boring and bad a product it can be with all the tv timeouts penalties ref conferences and replays. Plus the evening games don't give as much flexibility with watching it later on DVR-which makes 3+ hours of airtime more bearablestlouie_lipp wrote:Has the NFL reached it's peak?

Even last night's matchup, vikings packers- a good storyline, teams that interest me, and close game-and I still had trouble sticking it out. I almost rather just follow NFL via my fantasy fb page, rather than watch actual games

I think the Thursday night game has backfired on the NFL. It was cool when the introduced the Thanksgiving night game, but on a weekly basis it's not working. Not only is the quality of play awful due to the short rest, but we don't need the NFL on our TV's three nights a week.

Ahahaha. Love it. I relish the failure of the Rams in every facet of the game.

"Rams need a new stadium" is the other conclusion. Stan Kroenke wins by losing again.HardcoreCardsFan wrote:Ahahaha. Love it. I relish the failure of the Rams in every facet of the game.
