To me, the product the NFL is putting out this year feels worse than it ever has. (alien.top)

I can’t quite put my finger on it, maybe I am legitimately just getting tired of watching football.

Between the constant, game-changing flags and injuries every other play, the NFL is losing its magic.

I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Am I alone here?

There's a natural ebb and flow to league-wide talent and skill, and we're at a lower point right now.

The NFL dealt with the same thing from the late 90s to early 2000s, and from the late 70s to the early 80s. You could also make the case the the late 80s to early 90s was bad too due to extremely lopsided accumulation of talent on the NFC side.

The biggest thing I'm seeing right now overall is poor O-Line play, and QBs that weren't properly trained in college, likely having to do with the pervasiveness of the spread offense and subsequent talent disparities between most teams.
