when you chalk it up to a bad matchup or low stakes, that's what you're saying. when you chalk it up to hurricanes and elections, that's what you're saying
Maybe I'm confused, but when you chalk it up to a bad matchup, nothing to gain, elections, etc., what you're saying is that consumer interest is waning. People are choosing to do other things with their time.
The only one that is a temporary deal is weather related issues. The rest are just various ways to say consumer interest is declining. Saying it was because of a bad matchup or blaming it on the protest concedes the same point - people aren't watching.

i'd like to just skip forward to the part where everyone agrees the quality sucks and the ratings suffer enough to the point the NFL fixes it...but I don't think the NFL will ever fix it.
I tend to believe the majority of the people the NFL has lost are the fringe folks who they never really had in the first place. I'm not sure you'll get those people back regardless of the product on the field. People are doing other things with their time, and I'm not really sure how you change that. I believe the protest just sped up the process.

no what you're saying is there is a one off event that for that brief moment in time was more interesting or forcibly occupying more of your time. it doesn't represent a change in your attitudes and perception of the NFL...which is what is happening. you're also placing the blame on external events rather than internal decisions made by the NFL that have harmed the brand with consumers
the ratings are going to keep going down next year and the year after because some of the issues are CBA related and the amount of rule changes over a period of 8 years isn't going to be rectified or undone in a short period of time. there's no short term fix, but worse is I doubt the NFL even knows how to fix it.
I would do cartwheels if the nfl managed to fix itself. it's why I enthusiastically cheer their frick ups. i have some hope they'll fix it one day. because i miss football, but that shite isn't football.
