Ratings for the Hall of Fame game.

The first game of the NFL preseason put up solid numbers on NBC Sunday.

The Bills/Titans NFL Hall of Fame Game drew a 4.9/9 final rating and 7.9 million viewers on NBC Sunday night, up 4% in ratings and 7% in viewers from a 4.7/8 and 7.4 million last year, but down 28% in ratings and 25% in viewers from a 6.8/12 and 10.6 million in '06.

To put the numbers in perspective, the 7.9 million viewers for the Hall of Fame Game -- a meaningless preseason contest -- tops the average viewership for the 2008 MLB postseason (6.8 million), the 2008-09 college football bowl season (6.0 million), and the 2009 NBA Playoffs (5.4 million). The Hall of Fame Game even drew a higher rating than Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals (4.9 to 4.3), and nearly matched the game -- the most-viewed NHL game in 36 years -- in viewership (7.9 mil to 8.0 mil).

The daddy still.

    • It was a team loss, because it's a team game.  I even admitted so in the above post.  That does not deflect or shield a player or players for their role in that loss. Horn's penalty and Hubbard's fumble were super costly.   What was your intent on starting this thread with an All-22 pass play?  Did you honestly think there would be no controversy around Bryce?  Then go on to say if anyone disagrees they are 100% anti-Bryce.  Really?  I've stated over and over again my position on Bryce.  At this point, he's not the pre-benching '24 Bryce, that guy is largely gone.  However, his ceiling is game manager level for like 80% of his outings, that being middling...10% really good and 10% awful.  That's not my idea of a franchise QB.  The notion that we just have to maximize everything around him to nudge him above game manager level is not only unrealistic, but one sided...literally.  The defense has taken a back seat as a priority on this team, yet we complain about it.  How many die hard NFL fans can name anyone on our defense outside of Brown and Horn?  Heck most fair weather Panthers fan couldn't either.
    • People have genuinely ignored the fact that Horn is having a very underwhelming season overall. The INT's are way up but a lot of the other metrics have not been very kind. He has had a disappointing year overall by his standards.
    • their pass defense is good but not that good.  they are giving up on average 198 yards passing per gamd which is higher than byoungs average per game.  their pass defense is basically the same as the panthers pass d
