No Fun League: Why all the celebration bans? Come on. It's ridiculous.
Is it a catch? This seems to change every week.
No more hits: It's good for players' health, but maybe the players should change their style of play and not go up for that super high pass across the middle and show some self-preservation rather than penalizing a defender.
Reviews: this can be reviewed but this cannot. Why? If the ultimate goal is to get it right, everything should be reviewable.
Officiating: Tumbled to terrible quality recently. Even the league, which is loathe to criticize its officials, has admitted that officials have screwed up that changed the outcome of several games. This is historically bad.
Games in far off lands: This needs to end. Now.
Preseason: Stop making ticketholders buy these worthless games. Should be 2 preseason games. NFL doesn't make the networks carry preseason games, why should season ticketholders foot the bill?
Teams moving around for money: Talk about fan alienation.
- caltelt 10y agoTeams moving around for money: I couldn't agree more. I was recently living in STL and this left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I'm a Packer fan who will never have to worry about this. It really pulls to the forefront that these teams are purely profit-driven, which in professional sports is a given, but gives the appearance of excessive greed. In some ways it's the antithesis of all of those feel-good sports movies where they play through adversity to overcome. I'd be interested in knowing how these sorts of stunts play out in a more macro sense. As a whole, it may be a net profit for the NFL, but I wonder if it's more of a medium-term win.
- cardiffspaceman 10y agoThe Rams moving to St. Louis didn't sit too well with this native of Los Angeles. Roman Gabriel! Fearsome Foursome! Come on!!!
- hxegon 10y agoI don't watch football, but the rams going to LA and NOT THE RAIDERS. WHAT?!
- bcoates 10y agoThe Rams have spent half their history in Southern California, them moving back isn't weird.
- scurvy 10y agoAlso, Thursday night football is trash. The matchups are bad and everyone hates the short week.
