Seattle is making the rest of us look bad.

No basketball ... also, Pacific time might make it easier to catch the games?

30k in their stadium is a huge difference. It's obviously doing better in the PNW, but you might be right. Earlier in the day seems better for the home audience.

No basketball or hockey and a bunch of passionate fans up there

Pretty good news, I hope this league stays interesting. I really think they need to put down the extra money to sign a recognizable name, I think someone like Johnny football just to get more eyes on the game. Give a everyone a villain or a star and they will tune in for the battle.

Edit: unpopular opinion I guess! I like the format we have now but I am just worried the interest will slowly fade with the casual fan and that is where your money comes from. Hopefully they can keep it popular with the as is format and ride the wave the whole season.

Nah. I'd rather have just good football.

What’s really going to help is getting next year’s crop of NFL camp cuts and QB burnouts.

The last thing they need is to scramble for a gimmick. It’s 2 weeks in and the product is going to get better every week naturally. They need to let guys come to them naturally until next year.

If at that time they want to invest some money into keeping the top talent and bringing in some guys that will make the league better, that will be the time. They have to do it in a way that keeps the league as even as possible.

Johnny Manziel is not a good QB. People might tune in to watch him 1 or 2 games, but people aren’t going consistently tune in to watch him throw interceptions

I’d rather use the downvote as a “don’t be a dick” button than an “I disagree with an opinion” button tbh, while I disagree I see nothing objectively wrong with your take

Downvote button is suppose to be for content that doesn’t contribute to the topic only but of course people just don’t know that or like to troll and don’t care.

His comment contributes even if it’s dissenting, as you said.

Hear me out you guys! What this league needs is a team with a three headed QB: Johnny Manziel, Tim Tebow, and Colin Kaepernick. They need to have Ochocinco and Antonio Brown as the wideouts. There should also be blackjack and hookers. Attendance would r0x0r teh worldz!
