I'd wish you good luck but I'd rather you don't even get that. Gettleman's exit from the Panthers inspires confidence that the Giants won't return to SB-winning form either, after all the shit Steve Smith talked about him post-Panthers release and the way the franchise got rid of him felt like he was on to something.

Mark Cuban said a few years back that the NFL was in trouble, he was right

Was he though?

Per NBC, the NFL was the No. 1, 2 and 4 rated TV shows this fall.

Hopefully they are going to make some important changes over the off season:
scaling back Thursday night football
redefining a catch so that a catch really is a catch
fixing the supposedly fixed replay rules
and moving to a more football-esque game of football

And what happens to the salary cap ? with tv ratings down will it still go up....will teams become more conservative in spending ?

Many including me are thinking the other way.He takes no shit.This could mean the end of ODB in NY,his choice of a HC will be the clincher.

Silly question from a UK fan but is the tv losing viewers for any particular reason?

Too many reviews? Too many holding fouls that look minimal?

It's not to do with all the players knealing is it?

Genuine question from uk.

Little bit of everything. Yes some of it the kneeling other is an over saturated market with games on Sunday and Sunday night,Monday,Thursday and some Saturdays,add in College games on Friday and Sat and High school games Friday and Sat.Bad product,not well played games games have been watered down with to many commercials and to many rules.The behavior of the players has all so turned many viewers off of the game and last,way to many injuries.

The kneeling shit is a minimal impact at best.

It’s all about how people consume media today, the days of everyone huddled around their TV’s is over. People watch on their phones or tablets, or at their convenience on a DVR. And there are far more entertainment options than ever. NFL TV ratings may be lower than a few years ago, but the NFL is still a big draw and also still tops when compared to the other big sports leagues.

I think the decline in TV ratings is overrated. TV ratings are now a limited way to truly judge the popularity of the league.

I have to disagree on this one. The kneeling issue is a bigger problem than people want to believe. Last week the ravens sent a letter to all of thier fans around the empty seats and player kneeling. If it was no big deal, the NFL would not have cut the players a shut the f up check.

There are other issues.

1. Nobody can explain a catch.
2. Referrers are not consistency.
3. Shit games on prime time: Thursday night, Sunday night, and Monday night.
4. Trying to make the game safer has caused it to become unwatchable.
5. RG and all of his screw ups. Spy gate, bounty gate, ball gate, etc......

Also moving teams from market to market for more money. The chargers could not fill a 40k soccer stadium in LA.
