For me, the biggest reason I don't watch as much anymore is due to all of the bullshit calls they STILL get wrong, even with replay. There is no excuse for that. Also, the hypocrisy and inconsistency in some of their disciplinary rulings.
NY, LA, Chicago and Houston are the teams left in the MLB playoffs.
That's literally 1,2,3 and 4 in terms of US population.
It wouldn't shock me at all if there was a dip because of those teams being the last ones in MLB.
I struggle to watch non-Bengal games...and really even some Bengals games because of the penalties. There's just too many being called. It's not all on the refs. The product is just bad. Players aren't practicing enough because of new rules and it's showing with some sloppier play.
The OL especially is struggling because of this across the league.
They aren't coming in as prepared and they aren't given enough time in practices to get it right.
