Even without the kneeling controversy, the NFL just isn’t as good as it used to be.
The NFC Least is an embarrassment. Everyone except the Giants can still win the division.

The rest of the NFC better pray that the Eagles don’t get in the playoffs, now that Foles is back on a roll.

I view the kneeling issue as the final straw to a sport that has just become insufferable over time.

The NFL should also realign the teams, like MLB did years ago, to maximize attendance.

The MLB realigned to create more geographically close rivalries, so people were more apt to drive to away games.

The NFC North is a good example of a close rivalry, Detroit-Chicago-Minneapolis-Green Bay all being fairly close to each other.

But the AFC East and South need realignment. Take Miami out of the AFC East and put them in the AFC South. Take Indianapolis out of the AFC South and put them in the AFC North with Cincinnati-Cleveland-Pittsburg. Take Baltimore out of the AFCNorth and put them in the AFC East with New England-NYJets and Buffalo.

There are some rules this year that are ridiculous. And It looks like the officials are having a hard time entepreting them. Last week I saw a runningback flagged 15 yards for illegal use of helmet. later in the game a defender was flagged 15 yards for tackling a quarterback around the legs.....DO WHAT?!

know what? years ago you could cheer your team making a touchdown.        now 90% of the time you have to wait for a review by the new york monkeys to decide whether holding, both-feet-in bounds, facemask, shoelace tied, whatever.

after a while, who cares?

Is this before the game or during?

Weak division, yes, but not locking up the divisions until the final games keeps fan interest higher.
