Rams / Cowboys, though.

What good does it do to devote an episode to showing off the new stadium, if all the shots are only the field?
There was what, two exterior shots all night, and that one zoom into the "bar" thing?

Cant speak to whether this is true but fwiw I just cant seem to feel excited about the NFL season this year

im glad theyve moved to allow social justice initiatives from the players, but the whole concept of sports during a pandemic feels off to me. Especially since the nfl is allowing tens of thousands of people in the stands for many games

just doesnt sit right with me

So adjusting for the fact that ratings drop year-over-year every year for like literally everything. I have to imagine part of it is due to the people finding this season inherently questionable. Not even from a whether or not they should be playing football during pandemic, but whether this fanless season that could potentially end at any time is going to count or worth getting invested in.

> 2020
> caring about tv ratings

everything has been on the decline for decades. The days of an average episode of friends getting 23 million people to watch is dead. Cord cutters, even those that legally watch with things like hulu live, sling, youtube tv don't get counted in ratings. People that buy sunday ticket don't get included in ratings. People who watch on redzone don't get included in ratings. And people who join a discord channel for totally unrelated reasons to reddit banning certain subs, don't get included in ratings.

All sports are down in viewership. I think without fans it kind of loses a bit of the realness. To me this whole season feels like an asterisk for every sport so I havent been that excited.

not saying fans should be in the stands, they shouldnt, but how I feel watching at home

For how shitty preseason football is, I think it honestly served a pretty vital step in getting people ready for actual football. I can't tell you how many people I know that like football were either shocked that the NFL was starting up already or didn't realize it was starting until they saw actual games on TV.

edit: okay, I can.... it was like six different people.

NFL games are on CBS, FOX, and NBC; at least locally. To get other games, you need DirectTV. The only football you're missing if you're a casual viewer and don't have cable is Monday Night Football (unless your local team plays that night).

I don't know who can watch a single NFL game at this point. Its so difficult with all the commercials. There were so many good things to watch yesterday that were not as broken up and segmented as the NFL. Without Redzone its hard to watch any game that isn't the team I like and even then, I have to be doing something else at the same time or I go crazy.

Its soooooooooooooooooo slow.

I think viewership is down because (a) people aren't paying for cable as much as they were and rating are down across the board, (b) there were other things to watch yesterday, and (c) a lot of NFL fans are the types that were upset when NASCAR got rid of the confederate flag.
