The answer is there they just don’t want to face it and it’s not offensive football
You are right, defense today is not 85 Bears or Ravens of the turn of the century and having a good offense is great if you have the QB. I think good defense these days is still important but it doesn't look exactly the same as the old days. Remember last year, the Bucs D got hot during the playoffs. All that said it is an offense driven league now.You and I discussed our overrated defense on another thread recently and I forgot to mention something. Since the NFL has put so much focus on scoring with rules that are going to be pass interference almost every time when a corner or a safety even brushes a receiver maybe WTF should have been built for offense rather than defense with big name players over the last few years. So, we have no defense and give up 99 points per game. That's not a problem as long as we score 100 points per game.
The point I'm trying to make is that the time might come that we will have to trade some of our big time defensive guys for some big time offensive guys.
Nothing necessarily to do with defense but I introduced it to further support my theme which is the game is difficult to watch because defense is no longer allowed AND with the introduction of the taunting rule it becomes even less watchable.I am not sure what the taunting rule has to do with the defense ( strictly). But I guess it depends on what you think the viewer wants as far as the rule . It’s hard to legislate emotion our of an emotional game though

On the play dude says could've been huge that was an extremely shitty job at blocking by Gibson. Very shitty. At the same time, if influencing the safety towards the LOS is the intent. Heiney should've at least looked at Brown. He looks totally fopcused on Terry Mac though.
falco film, it also clearly shows dean was right about the read
Without getting into politics the reason we don’t discuss it is because over 1/2 the posters don’t want it in their “escape “ . Now let’s say that’s skewed here on SportsHoopla but nationally it’s say 30% of the audience doesn’t want politics in the game . Out of that 30% , 25% say we will reduce viewership and maybe 5% of that just walks away . That affects numbers. Fantasy football also is having an effect on rules as wellI was in the tv ratings business and there are several reasons why NFL ratings are down on the tv networks. Politics plays a big part in the lower ratings which we are not allowed to discuss here.
For me, Skins game, Redzone, SNF and depending on matchup MNF and Thurs less frequently.On average how many NFL games per week do our membership watch?

Now I'm curious about this board and their viewership so...

Yeah Redzone is a watch changer but does that count as it would in the ratings like a single event does?For me, Skins game, Redzone, SNF and depending on matchup MNF and Thurs less frequently.
WFT games, MNF, THUR night game & SUN night game. (4)Now I'm curious about this board and their viewership so...
