Is the NFL boring now?
Let's bring this over from the other thread because I think this is a worthy discussion topic.

I know we're all watching because hey the Chiefs are the cream of the crop but in general is the NFL a more boring product now?

As long as the Chiefs win, I'm talking more in a league wide perspective. Like there have been some brutal as hell games to watch this year. That Colts Bears game was just awful yesterday.

Fair.

I'd point to the young QBs who have no idea how to string together a long TD drive because 1 negative play completely ruins it. And like you said, offenses aren't built like they were in the mid 2000s to completely demolish this kind of look.

So yeah, instead of defenses making exciting plays and huge hits, you watch half baked offenses try to not **** up for 10+ plays.

Well, yeah. That's been most of the league for years... you hope there are 1 or two games each week with two good QBs playing against each other, and the rest is garbage.

Watching Mahomes and Allen check down all game isn't great, but offenses opening up won't magically fix the awful QB play of the other 28+ teams.

I looked down yesterday's schedule and decided I wouldn't even bother... I was interested in a few final scores, but figured watching the actual games would be a huge waste of time. At least with CFB, you have more than one or two options at a time, so I'll always take a chance being lazy all day Saturday over the NFL's bullshit.

There are also more prime time/stand alone games than ever before… so you are potentially stuck with more bad games.

That also takes away from the variety of available games at 1/4:25 Eastern on Sunday’s.

How about instead of bitching about defenses doing this or that, just run the ball wel and beat the **** out of them?

As was discussed in that other thread, most of the guys in the NFL on the OL and in the backfield have been in spread schemes since they were 14, they just aren't equipped or experienced to do it.

I agree it's unwatchable and I miss the hard defense and the strategy to attack it(NBA)

Yeah, it's more boring. I mean, just look at the scoreboard.

NYG/CLE, terrible awful watch even if you are a fan of either team

CHI/IND, ditto

PHI/NOR, terrible

LAC/PIT


And however many others that were unwatchable or really close to unwatchable. Now, injuries played a part, I get it. but the common denominator in most of those games is mediocre/poor QB play. It doesn't help that many of these QBs today come into the league unable to play under center, don't have a good grasp of fundamentals, and are basically just great athletes that can chuck a deep ball, but can't read a defense, can't throw with anticipation or throw a basic timing route, etc. and so on.

Hell, that's what made Aaron Rodgers' dissection of NE's defense so much fun and dare I say, unusual in today's NFL.
