Anybody else losing interest in the NFL?

Yes we are terrible but we have been terrible before (2010). Outside of Panther games which I can only stomach so much I've watched maybe 3 other games this season. I canceled Sunday Ticket because I spend my Sundays actually doing productive stuff. I don't feel like I'm "missing out" on anything these days. Players can't show any emotion, coaching has been atrocious (See Mike Shula) half of the Quarterbacks are absolutely terrible and half of the league was eliminated from contention after training camp concluded. Not to mention the pointless Thursday Night games and I actually go out of my way to avoid, the boring Sunday Night Games and Monday Night Football hasn't been exciting in 5 years.

Maybe I'm still salty from the Super Bowl but honestly everytime we've lost this year I've shrugged my shoulders and gone on with my day. Ratings are declining as well and I suspect that the NFL is just becoming noise at this point. Its like when a musician puts out a TON of music and most of it is trash. Eventually it all starts to sound the same and the good stuff is drowned out. I'm far more excited about the college playoffs and NBA season. And it sucks because I loved this league growing up. Now its just an overpriced, overexposed showcase of noise. What a shame.

Also Fire Mike Shula.

Honestly, I'm with you.

I will always watch my Panthers, always, no matter how painful it is.

But at a larger scale, I'm not as much of a fan of the league.

For me, Goodell, rule changes that take fun and emotion out of the game, and increasingly terrible and inconsistent refereeing are ruining this sport. 

It's like being micromanaged by a terrible boss. It wears you thin.

The Denver game this year is a prime example of what I'm talking about. Trai Turner was halfway to ejection for showing excitement and emotion by jumping up and down when we scored.

Yet Cam was allowed to be assaulted because of his "running posture."

I mean get your priorities in check.

Ultimately though, the main issue is we suck right now, so I notice everything about the league that I dislike. It is easy to overlook things when you go 15-1.

I still enjoy watching other teams play, but its not the same though. I definitely got more enjoyment and generally was more interested last year when our team was so successful.  

I usually have to work on Sundays , but if I'm actually off on Sunday I usually watch 2 games . Still pretty much always watch the Monday Night game. Almost never watch the Thursday game, its usually just an uninteresting match up that I can't galvanize myself to watch.

i'm literally more excited about my crap state mountaineers tonight than the panthers game on sunday

a damn wednesday night non-power 5 game on the ocho is beating the NFL right now, at least for me.

You mean the team whose only two losses came to teams that made it into the top 10? Go pull for western.

I really don't care for the NFL in general this year.    Sadly,  that includes the Panthers...since they are the biggest kiss asses in the NFL when  it comes to sucking up to the shield. 

 

As soon as politics and social matters invaded the league on a large scale..........I realized that the games I used to love..........no longer provided me with an escape from the chaos and poo of the real world..

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
