    the 120,000 people waiting for a 100+ year wait for Packers season tickets disagree with you.

    Fantasy football was one of contributing factors to me quitting watching NFL three years ago. Couldn’t watch a game without some asshole turning to me and saying “I have Denver’s defense on my fantasy but Phillip Rivers is my quarterback but the guy I’m up against has Antonio Gates, so I’m screwed.” Good I don’t give a flying fuck, you sound ridiculous  right now, leave me alone.

    I don't think it is.
    Its popularity has peaked.  

    Popularity has definitely peaked, but it's not going away anytime soon.  Ratings may be down, but they are still very high compared to other sports.  But I do agree with what tempo said above that the product has not been very good this year.  So many awful teams.  I used to absolutely love watching the red zone channel all day on Sundays, but it has been kinda rough some weeks this year with so many bad matchups.
  • They have to do a better job with the primetime match ups.

    If a team has no quarterback... it's going to be shitty... don't place them on primetime.

    The schedulers cannot account for injuries, but to place a team like Denver or the Jets on national networks at primetime is not promoting your product.

    Yeah, it's tough to predict which teams are going to be good for primetime matchups.  Monday and Thursday night games are set in stone before the season and I think they can't start flexing the Sunday night games until Week 10 or 11 I think it is.  And every team has to play a Thursday night game so there's always going to be a few bad games on Thursday's....those games just need to go away at this point.  The quality of those games has been complete trash this year.
  • ^^^

    There were a few really good Thursday games.

    There's an upside to the Thursday games for teams: after getting through them... the teams are afforded an extra three days rest before their next game. For minor injuries... that time is significant for the healing process.

    I know there is a downside too having no time for practicing at full speed prior to the game, but if a team is solid... they should be able to get by and reap the benefit afterwards.

    You wanna watch our 3rd string punter come in as QB and throw TDS? Oh what’s that? The Pats don’t have a 3rd string punter? Its ok, Wilfork came out of retirement to be Tom’s backup.
