I don't remember a time where there's been so many bad teams...feels like everyone is trying to tank. I'm not sure why, the QBs in college are really overrated.

Seems to be because of preseason. Everyone comes out looking like shite for the first three games.

Yes, every year. You do realize that the league average, every year, is essentially .500, excluding the rare unusual tie.

With the 32 team league, the break down is usually within a very limited range. About 8 teams with 11+ wins; About 8 teams with 11 losses, and tthe remaining 16 clustered around 8-9./9-8.

This is normal.

What gets me is how many fans still show up and spend money when they know their team is .500 or worse.

mediocre football league

its been this way for years



the destruction of the qb position, was the beginning. take a look at the starters in nfl, then the backups, its pathetic.

nfl should just invest in mountain west and make them farm teams.

Yesterday's 12:00 crop of games was hard to watch. Almost as bad as a trip to the dentist

What's more striking to me is no clearly dominant team at the top.

Today's NFL game features lots of parody.

Parity, too. Lots of parity.

And irony - let's not forget irony.

Packers were freaking brutal. I think they're averaging around 15 penalties per game for their first 2 games. Good thing the team extended LaFailure and gave him a raise for his perpetual late game meltdowns

Gruden has that great speech in hard knocks where he says if he wanted them trained today like they used to, he would get incarcerated. It's only gotten worse. Add in the all the transferring in college and lack of actual developmental coaching as a result, and you end up with this shite sandwich.

Not to mention the margins have always been really tight in the NFL. Top5 offense vs bottom 5 is like a touchdownand half or something crazy like that. So one different possession per game separates you from the playoffs and moving your family
