Maybe if yall didn’t glaze over mahomes for literally anything he does the NFL would be more enjoyable, but the NFL and the League in general just favor and rig things for the Chiefs and mahomes. It’s lost its quality
The NFL doesn’t have the parity that it claims to. It’s one dynasty after another.
Sorry your team sucks, your GM can't draft, your coach can't coach, and your city doesn't win. Sucks to suck.
There is literally parity built in to the nfl via the salary cap. Every team has to operate within the same thresholds that’s parity. Complain to your team to do better
Nobody wants to watch the same teams every year. Nobody wants to see this Super Bowl
Womp womp
You can say that “ nobody” wants to watch the Super Bowl this year, but that’s just an opinion. There are people that wanna watch and will watch, I would argue that the people that feel that way do so just because their team hasn’t been in it. The only way to solve that is for their teams to play better.
For me, when my team has been out of the mix for a deep run for over a decade, it’s hard to keep paying attention to teams I’m not a fan of
GREED... These owners are now deeply involved in gambling, to an unprecedented degree, and it's contaminating the sport. I truly believe that Woody`s loss of a bet in London🤔 led to Salehs firing.
Glad others see it too.
Should be renamed the "Don't Touch Patrick Mahomes or You'll Be In Trouble Bowl"....lol...over/under on roughing/personal foul penalties should be NO LESS THAN 9 1/2...LOL
This is what happens when soulless greedheads take control of the game.
Every time Kelce makes a play they're panning to his girlfriend singer. It's obnoxious at this point.
It was obnoxious 2 years ago now its completely unwatchable
I think the NFL media wants to keep as many fans as engaged as possible and they way they go about that is having lengthy conversations about next season for all the teams that were eliminated. I feel like everytime I tune in the championship is like, 10% of the football conversation while the other 90% is making sure people come back next season because "this year is the year!"
Here’s hoping the viewership TANKS this year so the NFL can finally stop sucking off the chiefs and next year they push to get different teams in there.
Chiefs just win. Your team sucks. Suck less and win more, but quit crying like a little baby girl. It's disgusting and effeminate.
For me, the schedule makers ruin it. They don’t make division games important. The teams almost always play in the regular season now, sometimes three times. It’s flat. Steelers and ravens played week 18 then in the playoffs. Also one number 1 seed makes it too easy for the 1 seed.
Everyone said the same thing when Patriots played in SB every year. NFL still rules all major sports and everyone will still watch.
Most people I know will be watching cause of Kendrick, they don't care abut the game.
@@pelu101most ppl you know are probably weirdos 😂
Atleast the patriots had good players year in year out and the entire narrative wasn't about some awful pop singer being shoved down our throats when people are tuning in to watch FOOTBALL
@@melioda9554you dont remember how often they would show Bradys wife on tv? We may witness the 1st 3peat in NFL History and that's not enough? These are the two best teams standing I believe it will be a great game.
I hate both teams it seems like the same teams every year.Nobody likes the eagles other than eagle fans.Sick of the chiefs in it all the time.Im not watching this year.
Great week to just get away where the passport bros are going. Except Sosua, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 😂
Refs working for owners best pr like swifft and the brothers
Over saturation. Thats the problem!!! You are constantly on Twitter and in your phone. Of course it feels non special. Back in the day you had to wait for the radio show or read the paper to know what is going on. Over Saturation!!!!
Nobody wants the same teams but the NFL is King. They will still get viewers. Also let's face it. The entitled athlete is turning people off. The money is stupid. As an average man in today's climate it's hard to relate.
Well NFL is going to have a game in Melbourne Australia as Rams designated team that’s crazy
That is different The difference is, it's no longer a sport.It's now sports entertainment
It's turned into WWE
It also hasn’t helped that MASSIVE NBA news happened this week. That’s taken ahold of the entire sports news cycle.
Yea...no. I'm skipping this SB just like the KC-Philly one a couple years ago.
Super Bowl is rigged due to betting
Everybody can have their opinion. But the facts show that ratings in the nfl rise every year. You can’t say that there is a problem with “football” the games played on the respective days. When in reality their problem is with the the lead up to the game, the media everything other than the game. These mixed up complaints usually come from the fans whose team sucks along with them not being a fan of the game. So they don’t really have an interest in the games outside of the terrible team of their choice. Now it’s issues that come up every Season but I can’t honestly say the game isn’t getting better every year, because the measurement that shows how well something is viewed show that and as a fan I can see it also
More than the week off, everyone is tired of how much Bs goes on within the NFL and it’s directly tied to gambling. Take that as you want. Regardless, a lot of people see, think they see and hold anger for how this league is these days. On top of how “soft” the league has become. Add those with the same damn teams (again, seems like it’s planned to a lot of people) and you get what you have now. Millions and millions of less viewers. NFL is too damn greedy!
very much agree. i could careless about this super bowl but will watch it. What you might see on sunday, if the NFL Refs are smart, is more let them play and you will see the chief be hysterical for not getting calls. that would make the game more entertaining.
You know that's not happening as much as everyone would love to see it. You know there are going to continue letting the chiefs cheat there way to another SB so they can 3 peat. They are making too much money off Mahomes, Kelsey, and Swift. They dont care if they lose viewership as long as they can milk that cash cow they don't care about having integrity or dignity.
You guys feel that way because of Chiefs fatigue and NY teams sucking. The league is still very exciting overall
Maybe the fact that the NFL has turned the playoffs into the WWE with helmets for the benefit of one team alone, has turned some people off.
And honest to god you have to just not be paying attention to not see it. Please eagles. Just let KC win so they can get the show they want of “history” and Kelce proposing to TS, and maybe they’ll give us our sport back. We can’t take this anymore.
No one wants to root for these insufferable teams and their insufferable fanbases! Get some like able teams and watch the buzz returns. And they need to fix the penalties as well.
Let's not forget the fake tears for the camera's.
While I agree there is no buzz to the game. Bringing up the Knicks and basketball (a dying sport) does not support your arguement
Gambling is a problem and it's really not ok.. my opinion.
Learning English is quite an advantage when you speak for a living. Is English the second language for you fellows?
The NFL currently has the highest ratings and revenue it's ever had. It now surpasses the NBA, and MLB as America's TOP SPORT watched and in revenue. This is more pearl clutching and hand wringing from Non-KC sports amusers and fans who are in a tailspin over Brady finally leaving and then yet ANOTHER dynasty supplanting the Patriots right when most fans thought they were going to get team parity and the hope of their team winning a lombardi.. and instead they got Mahomes and the Chiefs in almost every Superbowl for 7 years, and in the AFC Championship EVERY YEAR 7 years straight. So the coping mechanism is blaming the refs, slow motioning every Chiefs snap in the hunt for an uncalled penalty or perceived penalty, and videos that grab clicks and views saying "they cheat". It's all just a losers coping mechanism and mentality.
Nobody wants to watch another Chiefs fixed superbowl. Year after year its Mahomes, Kelsey, Swift. Everybody besides Chief fans are beyond OVER IT! After last years absolute BS ending i swore i would NEVER watch another superbowl with the "Cheeks" again! F them and there BS soft dynasty. Until the NFL knocks it off and has different teams in every year the ratings will continue to plummet
Nobody wants to hear the WFAN commercials. AT&T fiber “ zen den” are getting a bit much, F… every 20 min F that!!!
The NFL is Rigged!!!!... Why should anyone be Excited beside the Teams Fan Base 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
If the jets or giants were in it y’all would be losing y’all shit. It’s not the NFL it’s that both Ny teams are absolute trash. Your beef is with your teams
And that place Met Life Stadium is cursed.
No it's not it could have been Detroit or any other team people are sick and tired of it being the chiefs it's overly predictable and not enjoyable at all to see the same team year in and year out for going on 4 years now. That's completely wack. Who wants to watch 3 hours of Mahomes, Kelsey, and obnoxious Taylor Swift. No real NFL fan wants to. Even when the patriots had their run it wasn't as annoying as this.
@@melioda9554the SB will have high ratings as usual. Everyone will watch, no matter who plays. If you don’t like it, don’t watch.
What a strange comment
The NBA SUCKS NOW!!!!!!!
