Does anyone else feel this way?

The product on the field is TERRIBLE. You see teams winning games now and the QB threw for like 102 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs.

I can't even put my finger on what it is that makes it so bad. It just is.

Maybe I’m getting old at 32 but I feel that way across the board for sports

It’s over exposed.

Being on constantly now has made it less special to me.

Is too refined and methodical. Teams just try to make it to the next ten yard marker. No explosive plays like college football. Most games are scored in the teens or twenties. More scoring in college.

I would rather watch the neighbors put up their Christmas lights than an NFL or NBA game

Disagree. Most games competitive, no weeks off like college non conference. Speed of the game is crazy. Only down side is some announcers ( Tom Brady) and the ridiculous roughing the passer calls. I like college football but don’t enjoy the blowouts.

The spirit and soul of sports is diminishing. I'm just getting more apathetic to it all the time and I am hearing this from many people.....Football specifically, there is no comparison from the 70s-80s to now.....I've quit watching the Braves........Outside college football, I enjoy the UFL as much as anything.

In the NFL even the bad teams are full of world class athletes. There is much more parity. Coaching and play calling and strategy play a much bigger role. It’s more like chess and college football is more like checkers. Where you can buy better checkers.

Too many penalties for actually hitting tackling and playing football they’ve almost turned it into soccer

Yeah, it's impossible to to get excited about it because it never goes away.

There is no offseason anymore, they think having NFL in your face 24/7 is the best market strategy but it's numbing and exhausting.

Isn’t that how the NFL always was? It used to be even more defensive back in the days than it was now. Roethlisberger won a Super Bowl with a 9/21, 0TD 1 INT statline 20 years ago

Just today Jared Goff threw for 5 touchdowns and his team still lost

QB play in the NFL has never been harder than it is right now. There is a bunch of data that supports it.

Again the parity across the board in the nfl. The other difference is the familiarity with the players. I can turn on any game and have a rooting interest based on the villains or hero’s. College rosters turnover every year, more so now.

I watch the Chiefs, but not very many other games except the playoffs. I watch college football all day and night if I can.

As a part owner of an NFL team, I disagree. Go Pack Go

Actually the older I get the more I prefer it. I would rather watch grown men closer to my age play instead of a dumbass kids fresh out of high school.

College football is NFL Jr now and isn't what it used to be.

If we are going to do this money ball shite now, I would rather watch the more talented players.
