The most exciting two weekends of every NFL season are here and yet TV ratings show that the NFL has tumbled from it once proud perch as king of TV viewing on all of TV. Let's make our picks and then discuss the NFL's decline.
Saturday:
Oakland at Houston: Both teams have quarterback misery to worry about . I think if you both were playing anybody else they would both lose but one has to win. Oakland defense is better. Raiders 17 Houston 10
Detroit at Seattle: Detroit has trouble beating good teams. Seahawks never know which team is showing up. I would hate to have to travel to play in Seattle.. Hawks 26 Detroit 22
Sunday:
Miami at Pittsburgh: I find it hard to see the Dolphins winning in Pittsburgh. 33 -24 Steelers
Giants at Green Bay: Giants have their Super Bowl formula in tact. Defense with very little offense. Seems that Packers are rolling. Will be hard to beat Packers in tundra. Pack 36 Giants 27
Why are ratings down?
Injuries keeping best players out of games?
Unappreciative players. Not standing for national anthem when they make millions?
Fantasy football has become more important than who won?
When the ball is in the air who can tell who committed the penalty there by putting too many outcomes of games in official's hands?
Since latest contract hitting during practice has eliminated practicing fundamentals lacking and players are soft and fragile when games are played?
40 seconds too long between plays. need to cut it to no more than 25 seconds. Hate watching especially in college quarterbacks start calling signals then stop look at bench for a different call according to defense set up.
This is some of my guesses what are yours?
