Replacement Players

I'm guessing a large majority of that 63% in favor aren't old enough to remember 1987 very well.

Personally I wouldn't watch and I definitely wouldn't pay for the Sunday Ticket to watch scrubs.

I remember the 87 games. It was alright because it was kind of like theater, or watching a live news telecast because you want to see what happens, even though it ain't pretty. After a few games the novelty of that wears off though. It would be tough to sit through 16 games of it.

16 games of it would be brutal. Pretty sure that would never happen though thankfully.

I think people would tune in the first few games, but the ratings and attendance would drop off pretty sharply once people see the "quality" of these games is sorely lacking.

I agree. In 87 it was about like watching the XFL cause those guys had little time to prepare & so many of them were just off the streets. I remember hearing stories from people afterwards like, 'my friend's a bartender down at such & such pub, but last month he was starting at TE for the Skins!'

After about 4 games, I imagine the stadium would look something like this.
