Anybody else losing interest in the NFL?

Yes we are terrible but we have been terrible before (2010). Outside of Panther games which I can only stomach so much I've watched maybe 3 other games this season. I canceled Sunday Ticket because I spend my Sundays actually doing productive stuff. I don't feel like I'm "missing out" on anything these days. Players can't show any emotion, coaching has been atrocious (See Mike Shula) half of the Quarterbacks are absolutely terrible and half of the league was eliminated from contention after training camp concluded. Not to mention the pointless Thursday Night games and I actually go out of my way to avoid, the boring Sunday Night Games and Monday Night Football hasn't been exciting in 5 years.

Maybe I'm still salty from the Super Bowl but honestly everytime we've lost this year I've shrugged my shoulders and gone on with my day. Ratings are declining as well and I suspect that the NFL is just becoming noise at this point. Its like when a musician puts out a TON of music and most of it is trash. Eventually it all starts to sound the same and the good stuff is drowned out. I'm far more excited about the college playoffs and NBA season. And it sucks because I loved this league growing up. Now its just an overpriced, overexposed showcase of noise. What a shame.

Also Fire Mike Shula.

Honestly, I'm with you.

I will always watch my Panthers, always, no matter how painful it is.

But at a larger scale, I'm not as much of a fan of the league.

For me, Goodell, rule changes that take fun and emotion out of the game, and increasingly terrible and inconsistent refereeing are ruining this sport. 

It's like being micromanaged by a terrible boss. It wears you thin.

The Denver game this year is a prime example of what I'm talking about. Trai Turner was halfway to ejection for showing excitement and emotion by jumping up and down when we scored.

Yet Cam was allowed to be assaulted because of his "running posture."

I mean get your priorities in check.

Ultimately though, the main issue is we suck right now, so I notice everything about the league that I dislike. It is easy to overlook things when you go 15-1.

I still enjoy watching other teams play, but its not the same though. I definitely got more enjoyment and generally was more interested last year when our team was so successful.  

I usually have to work on Sundays , but if I'm actually off on Sunday I usually watch 2 games . Still pretty much always watch the Monday Night game. Almost never watch the Thursday game, its usually just an uninteresting match up that I can't galvanize myself to watch.

i'm literally more excited about my crap state mountaineers tonight than the panthers game on sunday

a damn wednesday night non-power 5 game on the ocho is beating the NFL right now, at least for me.

You mean the team whose only two losses came to teams that made it into the top 10? Go pull for western.

I really don't care for the NFL in general this year.    Sadly,  that includes the Panthers...since they are the biggest kiss asses in the NFL when  it comes to sucking up to the shield. 

 

As soon as politics and social matters invaded the league on a large scale..........I realized that the games I used to love..........no longer provided me with an escape from the chaos and poo of the real world..

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
