The NFL opened the 2017 season Thursday night to its lowest television ratings in eight years.
NBC’s broadcast of the Kansas City Chiefs’ stunning 42-27 upset of the New England Patriots drew an overnight rating of 14.6. That’s down nearly 12% from the 16.5 posted by the Denver Broncos-Carolina Panthers season kickoff from a year ago.
That’s bad news for the NFL since the ratings had also dropped for the 2016 opener, down approximately 7% from the 17.7 rating posted the previous year, when the Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers played in the first game of the season.

But your quarterback, Rogers, thinks The Kap should be on a team.
And I am thinking to myself, if Rogers thinks The Kap should be on
a team, why doesn’t Rogers demand the Packers hire him?
Agree also add in the quality of play is awful.
I found it amusing that so many sports talkers in 2016 feigned ignorance on why the NFL ratings had dropped. When they finally got the unambiguous research they flat out refused to believe it.
As expected, many of them were still heaping scorn on the polls and on the respondents and brashly predicted a rebound in ratings. Waiting for their next excuse....

Now that is ONE SOLID SOURCE!!!!!!!!!!!
Too much money riding on all of it including the value of the franchises themselves.
Obviously the NFL needs to get OJ back in the Monday Night Football mix,because THAT is what it would take for me to ever watch another NFL regular season game again.
I watched a few minutes. The Dallas Texans were trailing at that point, and I turned it off after about 3 plays and seemingly never-ending commercials.
Perhaps it’s all the arrests.
Or the drug use.
Or beating up/punching a girlfriend.
Or the fancy dances and silly celebrations
Or gold chains
And throw political statements on top of that.
I’ve stopped watching too.
Johnny Unitas...our nation turns it’s lonely eyes to you.
Remember Nameth to Maynard? Did they do any fancy dances? No.
A Ray Neitsch (sp?) hit? Did Ray do any celebrating?
Haha! Me too.
But just to see if he would murder someone.
I don’t know why. I guess we’ll just have to wait for someone to ask him. Ted Thompson the Packer GM does the hiring. He does pretty good choices on player development -—— Colon just isn’t that good a QB and even Aaron knows that.
Go Pack Go!
It’s not about the flag - it is about our National Anthem. Even I don’t salute every flag I happen across but when the National Anthem is played ceremoniously all hands stand at attention and salute and civilians place their hands over their hearts. An American that doesn’t respect our Anthem is a traitor in my book and I hope they rot in a gutter one day as I piss on them.

I knew there was going to be game but someone forgot to stand and I forgot to watch.
Progressives don't seem to like sports at the same level the rest of us do. I've always thought that competition reminds them of capitalism.
We have two generations of students taught by leftist teachers using progressive curriculum. These generations were taught little more than social justice and were spit out of "school" as snowflakes, who are too delicate for physical games where half of the participants lose. As a group, I'm guessing fewer of the snowflake generation are drawn to football.
quit watching decades ago.
Before the current crop of America haters were even a gleam in their unknown fathers eyes
Goodell is WORTHLESS. He is a feckless, spineless, puke of a man.

As you sew, so shall you reap.
I never said Rogers should hire The Kap.
I said if Rogers is going to run his mouth about The Kap
should be on a team, he should demand the Packers hire hire.
Rogers would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.
After all, if The Kap is good enough for Rogers, he should
be good enough for the Packers.
Must be the presidential election. Oh, wait...
