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.

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
