Early Slate Of Games Is Pretty Lousy (1 Viewer)

[rockaction]

Got seven games going at once, and I can't remember watching this uninteresting football in a long time.

What you say?

This thread is pretty lousy.

 

[Osaurus]

There’s a lousy number of games in the early window 

 

[rockaction]

This thread is pretty lousy.

43-3, 38-3, 38-7, one game with a backup QB and not even a replacement-level QB who's a joke, TB playing like garbage, and a JAX game.

No, the early games were much worse than this thread.

Both are pretty Lousy.

Meh.

I'm on my laptop, with the CLE/NE game on the TV.  Just hoping not to hear Bolden's name, as I am going against him.  But yes, a few unwatchable blowouts.  The TB/WAS game has my interest though.

Bucs-WFT 1 score game late...

Saints-Titans 1 score game late...

Jax at Indy 1 score game 4th Q...OK I'm projecting but they're getting close...edited to add THEY SCORED

Detroit is locked up with Pittsburgh and fighting for their 1st win of the year, incredible

The Washington v TB is great. This drive by WFT is amazing.

 

[Mister CIA]

I dunno.

• Redskins on verge of upsetting the GOAT
  
• Lions threatening to go 1-8
  
• Dan Quinn pwning his former employer
  

Then again, I'm not a Jets fan.

The next slate isn't exactly dazzling at the moment if you like socring.

The Green Bay/Seattle game might rival all others with respect to the lack of pace of play and snaps taken.

Has football just been bad since November started? I feel like football as a whole has just been bad for a minute.

 

[GreenNGold]

I was entertained.

I phoned it in last week a bit, so I can't really comment. The games were lopsided and uninteresting for the most part, and the close ones were because of lousy performances by one team or both.

I was entertained. 

Yeah, I was too. Just relatively.

Bad games but mostly competitive. Still better than being engrossed watching Georgia or Alabama beating the snot out of the little sisters of the poor. Only thing that saves the Saturday slate is how many games they can switch to.

I love an incompetent overtime period that results in a tie.  I have a lot of problems, though...

 

[The Duff Man]

Seems like when there is a mismatch the games are either a huge blowout or an upset. No in between….other than one tie

Just wait until they start giving each team 2 bye weeks.

Would that help with the injuries though?  Because I feel like injuries are a large part of why the current games are worse than the September games.

Sometimes a bad performance by one teams is caused by a great performance by the other team.

I don't think so. I remember 1 year long ago they trieda 2 bye week per team (google says 1993) and they gave it up after 1 year because they had too many weeks without good matchups. At least that's what I remember.

You're right, there was a year they ran a 2 Bye Week schedule which i actually would support if they would spread out the same 16 across 18 weeks, if it means a few weeks with a few less games or premier match ups so be it. People will tune in to 1-8 teams, they don't care.

As someone who exclusively watches redzone on Sunday I know it won't make a single difference to me.
