I can’t quite put my finger on it, maybe I am legitimately just getting tired of watching football.

Between the constant, game-changing flags and injuries every other play, the NFL is losing its magic.

I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Am I alone here?

    I can put my finger on it. PI and defensive holdings call are way, way down. Receivers are getting mugged.

    What makes it worse is the refs will let it go all game but still call a couple ticky tack calls at random.

    You probably have to post this to Twitter first and then link to it to avoid having it taken down.

    Every year people say reffing is worse than it’s ever been and say there are more injuries than there’s ever been. It’s just the NFL

    It’s the commercials. They feel more numerous this year, especially the sports gambling ones.

    I didn’t really feel this way until the early slate of redzone this week. I had a ton of fun with the thanksgiving day games but this Sunday felt lackluster

    Sports betting and nfl sponsored betting advertising makes the novel concept of games getting rigged seem more plausible

    Scoring has been down this year, and while officiating has never been great, I honestly think the biggest culprit is the hard cap. Teams will cut players who are better and know schemes in favour of cheaper draft picks/free agents because they have to. Teams must pay their stars (and they 100% deserve it), but the rank-and-file get churned out like butter.
