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.

      Richardson availablity is hindering his development. I liked him as well and thought a good QB coach could help him.  I am glad they didn't take my advice. 😀

      Gettleman rode the coattail of best QB in the league and did nothing to support him. He let Agent 89 walk when we had zero talent at WR. For all his talk about hog mollies he did very little at consistently upgrading the lines. He gambled on questionable talent and put us in the direction we are in now.  Focusing on the first season record is a weak argument. Dan fixed our offensive line in one season and was trying to do the same for the defense but that failed miserably because of the injuries we suffered. Everyone knew it was talent not scheme which is why Evero is still our DC.  This year we focused on defense and depth and of course a new toy for Bryce. I think we've improved just about every room and have much better depth.  I clearly see a much better direction and focus than we've ever had before.
