HemiBeers Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 With 21 teams out of 32 that are at or below .500 at this point, the entire league just sucks this year. This is not what parity was about. There's only 8 teams worthy of being playoff teams and 2 of those, Denver and Green Bay, are starting to tank. I'm using my time on Sunday afternoons for things that are more productive than watching 3 hours games, filled with commercials half the time, between suck-ass teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Funny you post this... I head to my parents house every afternoon game the Packers play. They live 2 miles away, so it's a very short drive and I am often pretty much the only person on the road. Most people are at home, watching the game - it's kinda cool to see. This weekend, there were tons of people on the roads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Good point. I've noticed a marked drop in quality this year. It's not that teams are sub .500 but the fact that the games have been rubbish for the most part. I too am starting to wonder if my Sunday evenings could be more profitably spent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah and last year when a team with a 7-9 record can get in the playoffs before a team that has a .500 or better record is ludicrous. What's next a 4-12 team making it in. Maybe they should have a playoff to get in the regular season. Oh I shouldn't hope for that my team would never make it to the regular season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 There have actually been a lot of exciting finishes this year, hell - this week alone you had the Ravens lose to the Jags right at the end, the Packers almost pulling out a win against Det and the Pats with a hell of a finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the booing during the game is something not often heard. Rodgers looked terrible, throwing at receiver's feet, over their heads, out of bounds. I dunno if it's the play calling or not, but it seems the QB doesn't trust his receivers or they don't trust him.

After giving up 141 to Forte, they held Lynch to 41 yards and Charles to 49 and SF to 77 total rushing yards. Then gave up 159 to Gurley only to bounce back and SD 52 total rushing yards. Det only had 32 yards total rushing. If the D can get up for the challenge, it could be a good game if the O figures their shit out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Yeah, I was talking to the driver at work last night. I said, it's been a really odd year for football. College as well. But I kind of like it. Different I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g under p Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Things will sort themselves out once teams can get through the Gazillion injuries teams are facing this year. Those teams that can deal with them the best will fair well come playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
