I seriously believe that the NFL will fall to the 3rd most watched sport within the next 10 years behind the NBA and Baseball. Hockey may even supplant t for those looking for a contact sport to follow.
I find it alarming that the scores are more often than not starting to resemble bad basketball games.
I also find it sad that a once balanced game has turned into an offensive race waiting to see which team makes the first mistake rather than an actual physical ad mental battle.
A game that was at one time a testament to being a man, has been stripped of its testosterone and injected with all the skill of a good darts competition. Being accurate with the ball in a relatively uncontested environment.
The NFL had to change because of all the safety concerns, but the rules needed to change on both sides of the ball. Can't hit a guy until he has already caught the all ?? Ok ... Then get rid of the 5 yard chuck rule. Can't hit the QB violently at all ?? Allow more physicality by the DBs.
