There have not been a lot of good football games this year…like at all. The Jets/Bills week 1 stands out (which was more entertaining than actually good football but I’ll count it), Eagles/Commanders a few weeks ago was pretty great but like…I gotta rack my brain to find any real memorable games. There’s been so much bad offense, bad reffing, and just total blowouts it’s hard to even get invested in RedZone some weeks, let alone full games.

And with this kind of play it starts to make the bad stuff less forgivable like the insane amount of commercials and ridiculous reffing that stops what feels like every game at some point dead in its tracks. I’ll never stop paying attention, none of us will, but NFL Sundays are starting to feel less fun and more like an obligation.

It's a few things.

  1. The schedule is terrible as in, we had 6 byes last week but none this week, it makes no sense.

  2. Alot of divisional matchups have almost back to back games. We just had a broncos chiefs matchup two weeks ago, had their second matchup now (no cliffhangers later), the cowboys and commanders have almost back to back games, and eagles giants too. These divisional matchups need to be AT LEAST 3 games apart, it's a mess.

  3. Lastly, primetime games, the most hyped most watched games, have been terrible matchups.

Bad Primetimes so far and this week

  • Steelers Titans

  • Raiders Lions

  • Bears Chargers

  • Bucs Bills

  • Giants Bills

  • Raiders Packers

  • Seahawks Giants

  • Giants San Fran

  • Eagles Bucs

  • Browns Steelers

  • Saints Panthers

Why are the giants, the biggest fraud playoff team from last year, hyped and on so many primetime games? Why weren't the rookie QBs on primetime this week? Did they really honk the raiders would be so fun to watch this year or the bucs losing Brady?

I get the overuse of the chiefs and cowboys, but there are so many better options that they are allowed to flex and they haven't. But the honest truth is, if we aren't showing the league with our views what we like and don't like, why would they change it.
