Giants have worse passcatcher and a worse O-line than the Patriots... and their defense is not that good. I have no idea how they made the playoffs last year..... AND WON!View attachment 71252
The cast of WR in Foxboro is the greatest show on turf compared to this squad of busters.
I wonder if he has an "Bull Run finalist" banner hanging in his den.
We'll see how well that plays out this week. The 4pm games are absolute trash this week. Normally you can count on a solid matchup, which is why the formula works. You watch your local team at 1, then you watch a more interesting game at 4.The NFL is in their bag this week. I know it happens every year, but in a non bye week to only have 3 games at 4pm is just criminal.
So you force feed 9 games at 1pm and then sprinkle on 3 games at 4pm? I assume this means that ratings for the 4pm games are always great no matter what but the ratings for the 1pm games are team dependent because people have things to do but will watch their team at 1pm no matter what. So try to grab the eyes at 1pm any way you can and then know the eyes will be grabbed at 4pm regardless of the fact that there are only 3 games happening.
So follow the money. Still, it's an absurd scheduling maneuver.
Well the Rams and Bengals played an important game about a year and a half ago, but they both kind of aren't great this year. I'm with you.I can’t tell if I’m getting out of touch or it’s a reflection of the product but…. Are there any compelling games this weekend? It used to be you could get hyped about 2-4 games each week. What’s the storylines this week? I can’t think of a single compelling one
Good slate in college at least. I think Falcons/Lions could be entertaining. Two young and fun teams.I can’t tell if I’m getting out of touch or it’s a reflection of the product but….

And to think, both their o-line and their pass catchers were WORSE last year.Giants have worse passcatcher and a worse O-line than the Patriots... and their defense is not that good. I have no idea how they made the playoffs last year..... AND WON!
Yeah, they won a ton of close games last year so I figured they’d be easy out. But Vikings are going to Viking.Giants have worse passcatcher and a worse O-line than the Patriots... and their defense is not that good. I have no idea how they made the playoffs last year..... AND WON!

A union man and that makes me like himAndrew Luck dressed as Captain Andrew Luck in the postgame.
Did the schedule makers take Yom Kippur into consideration? Starts Sunday at sundown. Not changing the SNF game certainly but just throwing that out there.The NFL is in their bag this week. I know it happens every year, but in a non bye week to only have 3 games at 4pm is just criminal.

This is some solid message boarding right here.I wonder if he has an "Bull Run finalist" banner hanging in his den.
Vikings were frauds too last year. That first round game was basically the Fraud Bowl of the playoffs. Both teams were outscored in the regular season.Yeah, they won a ton of close games last year so I figured they’d be easy out. But Vikings are going to Viking.

It’s an exceptionally bad slate. One team is favored by more than a touchdown in 4 of the 12 Sunday afternoon games, including 2 of the 3 late games. Chargers-Vikings is the only matchup between two playoff teams from last year.We'll see how well that plays out this week. The 4pm games are absolute trash this week. Normally you can count on a solid matchup, which is why the formula works. You watch your local team at 1, then you watch a more interesting game at 4.
Come on Mauf. Fantasy and gambling. That is what draws eyeballs. Fantasy football is absolutely huge now and gambling is coming on strong, too.You would think this would have an impact on ratings, but I realized a while ago that I don’t really understand what drives casual fans to watch some games (and some seasons) but not others.
Yeah, but those are your heavy viewers. I assume it’s the casual viewer whose fickle habits cause NFL ratings to rise or fall from week to week or year to year. Those are the people whose motivations I don’t understand.Come on Mauf. Fantasy and gambling. That is what draws eyeballs.

Maybe you wouldn't ever care about Indy versus Baltimore. But if you have Lamar Jackson and Michael Pittman on your team, you care a lot.

He must have gone to the Aaron Brooks School of Sack Avoidance.
Probably a weird feeling when the best team in the conference is in your division and it isn’t the Patriots.Miami is giving it to the Broncos like Miami is the 2007 Patriots. Every play is 15 yards, at minimum. Every drive ends in a TD.
The Bills have been the best the last 3 years. The Pats haven't been great since 2018. So not that weird. What is weird is that it looks like Miami is playing against the defense of Deion's Colorado and not the Broncos.Probably a weird feeling when the best team in the conference is in your division and it isn’t the Patriots.
Feels weird to me, anyways.
AFC is wide open in a way it hasn’t been in a few years. The Dolphins and Ravens have been excellent; meanwhile, all four of last year’s division winners look worse.Probably a weird feeling when the best team in the conference is in your division and it isn’t the Patriots.

And the Ravens are losing to the Colts today.AFC is wide open in a way it hasn’t been in a few years. The Dolphins and Ravens have been excellent; meanwhile, all four of last year’s division winners look worse.
