IMO, the game play has deteriorated rapidly in the last 10 years.
in 2005, 8 NFL QBs finished the season with an Passer Rating over 90. 2 Had over 100 Ratings.
in 2005 1 QB had over 30 TDs (Palmer)
Last year 16 Qbs had over a 90 rating for the season, and 4 were over 100.
9 tossed over 30 TDs.
This season, more penalties have been called than in any stretch of games in the history of the NFL.
More plays are being reviewed
More Calls are getting blown.
More commercials are being shown
Injuries are through the roof (Even tho team can not even play defense)
The average NFL game has 11 minutes of true live action in the 4 hour broadcast.
Grated, I understand why most of this is happening - Rule changes to favor the offense, shift away from running to an air attack, more controlled field and weather conditions, bigger, stronger, faster athletes.
I am just curious if anyone else feels the same drop in quality of play? 4 quarters, 40 commercial breaks, 2 two min warnings, 5 challenges, 3 booth reviews, 20+ penalties.....
I feel like I am 12 years old again, trying to watch scrambled porn on my parents TV. And the actual NFL plays that stand without flags or reviews are the fleeting rainbow colored whole boob shots you used to get once every 30 minutes of watching.
I do not think the current penalty trend is sustainable for the NFL. People will lose interest, hell even players will too.
Other than that, Who Fing Dey
