Sorry I wasn’t lumping u in with those morons. I’m just saying people are addicted to the NFL.  It is a force. 

No issues! You are right, NFL is a drug and I do have a panther addiction. Far as NFL at one point I had like 10 fantasy teams, as of two years running- zero teams.

Just to add, honestly I got super sick of allllllll the gambling ads being forced each tv break. I had thoughts of the same, "Im done". It was bad enough with allllll the booze ones and fuging gambling right after&before the game breaks. Then the stadium/team sponsored ones after years of banning it??? Just panthers now. 

Im one of those super weirdos about addictions- I can be a boozehound and train smoke, then days later not touch anything for years. Then start up again, same deal. Same about foods, quitting sunkist was harder than cigarettes.....

Haven't paid much attention to Rams this year but where did these great receivers come from? I knew about the late round rookie they grabbed and kupp but it seems like they are all just as good. Insane a team with never any high draft picks can draft better than us.

Some folks are saying (I’ve heard it from my friends) that they weren’t gonna watch the peacock game, just out of principle.

while I agree in spirit, the microtransactions/subbing to another terrible streaming service just to watch one NFL game, is capitalistic greed and wrong - it’s gonna be the norm eventually. People will subscribe and pay to watch.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
