There are not varying styles on offense anymore. 99 percent of the teams throw the ball around 30 plus times a game because of the rules

They've taken the run game almost completely out of football. Most teams use 2 backs now

Teams run it so little now that you barely see teams run it in successfully at the goal line now or on 3rd and short because it's become such a finess passing league that they're not equipped at it

thats not really true, and it speaks to my point about the league constantly evolving

To play Devil's advocate, EVERY FANBASE with the exception of the jaguars & the browns still have a reason to believe.

Increased interest= higher profits/better for the league.

Anyone who doesn't admit the NFL is kinda weak this year is either a Panthers or Patriots fan.

You can still love the sport and admit when its been kind of whack lately. I love basketball, but with all the injuries to superstars last year, the NBA was weak last year :manny: it is what it is.
Im neither and I think NFL is just fine. there are obviously things like bullshyt penalties on roughing the passer/defenseless receiver that drive me mad...but it isnt any different than a year or two ago.

Oh I have no doubt that's the owners arguments. They love this. That being said couldn't they have this parody with a better product and better referring at the very least?

people are saying nfl is wack either because 1)their team sucks or 2)injuries
which are laughable reasons really. your team sucking has nothing to do with nfl sucking, stop being a biased homer. injuries means less talent on the field, but theyre a part of the game. deal with it.

It's 100% true. I don't root for a team I watch almost every game because I'm a gambling addict and the run game is almost extinct

Pats gameplan from team to team...the rules have a lot to do with it....but why run up the gut when you can put a slot receiver on a LB and win every time? It's like the NBA with 3 point shooting now too.

The proof is that CFB is talked about more than the NFL right now, not just on here but you can look at any sports show and the vibe is different. When people talk about the NFL this year it's because of blown calls.

I disagree with @dtownreppin214 but the NFL was better pre-salary cap era.

I also think there are too many teams as well. Some of these cities really can't afford a NFL franchise to be honest.
