Do you think the NFL owners are pissed at Goodell for the recent TV ratings?

Maybe they will look for a new league President?

NFL: Television ratings for 2018 games up 5 percent while streaming viewership soars

It’s the games, people. It has always been the games.

The NFL had an incredible regular season. Scoring and passing stats went up. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the new face of the league, and other great young quarterbacks emerged too. It seemed like every week we were getting another classic game, and it peaked when the Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams played perhaps the best regular-season game in NFL history on “Monday Night Football.”

Remember when the NFL “was dying” last year because of a dip in ratings? Hopefully you saw through that ridiculous agenda because it was never rooted in any truth.

The NFL had exciting games with great matchups throughout the season, and ratings improved. Go figure.

NFL TV ratings up significantly
NFL Media released some stats from the 2018 season’s television ratings, and they were up in a lot of ways. The most digestible number from their announcement was that ratings overall were up 5 percent from last season (it’s also notable that digital streaming was up a staggering 86 percent).

But America Is Great Again so its no coincidence that Football is Great Again too

This has to make people hate Goodell even more I am guessing?

 

[CaptainStubing]

this is why the owners are paying him $50 mill a year .... fans may hate Goodell ...... players may hate Goodell .... but as long as the owners are making money hand over fist, he isn't going anywhere

Sorry but my opinion of godell remains unchanged

"It seemed like every week we were getting another classic game" is hyperbole. We can pretend all we want that last year's anthem-related protests weren't a big factor in a ratings dip, but I'm not buying it that we just had better games this year as the explanation why the ratings improved as the protests became an afterthought.

Roger Goodell sucks but he aint going anywhere soon. Sadly.

Still makes me chuckle at the bozos from earlier in the year that thought the NFL was in trouble.

The NFL has never been in a better position advertising wise. All the top viewed shows each year are NFL games.

It still amazes me that the other sport's leagues don't learn from the NFL's lesson to keep your product viewable as much as you can to anyone who wants to watch it. The moment that MLB, NBA, NHL teams went to regional network channels so that almost none of their games are accessible to anyone not willing to pony up for cable, they doomed their sport to 3rd tier status compared to the juggernaut NFL status.
