Oso planning to go pro
Agree with Sultan. Need to improve at the point of attack on D. And 4 passes from the 1 is an embarrassment. Trust your O-line coach.
But as Wags says, is this the play calling or Rodgers doing his thing?
It was the play calling.Lots of similarities between LeFleur and Nagy. Two inexperienced play callers who still have a ways to go on the learning curve.
My hot takes for the week: Mahomes will go down as the GOAT and is already better than peak Rodgers ever was.
So some of the ideas / rumors coming out on the new CBA.**17 game season with every team playing a game at a neutral site each year.**Each team will get two byes.**Season will start the same time, but the Super Bowl will be stretched to end on President's Day weekend.**Pre-season will be cut by one or two games
At some point, professional tackle football is going to exhaust its audience. I’d be curious to know the demographics on attendance and viewing habits of various age groups. I ask that, knowing it’s always going to have a huge audience because of the gambling and fantasy aspects but if younger generations are tuning out sports because of game length, I wonder if less is more for all leagues going forward. The TV money will be bonkers off the bat, so I suppose that’s all that will matter
I have all that data as we monitor it heavily. The older you are, the more football you watch. That’s not to say younger demos are not watching, but not as much as older demos. There is also the piracy angle as younger people don’t think twice about stealing intellectual property....they admit it in the research. So those folks that are going to reddit to stream illegally, they aren’t counted in the watching numbers, but they also admit to doing it. A lot of focus in the industry at the moment on that one as an estimated $20 billion in revenue lost by illegal streamers expected in a few years.
What changes that you watch more football as you get older? I’m genuinely curious. I watch less but that’s a personal choice that I know isn’t reflective of the larger market.
I think the question you are posing is wrong. A large portion of the population watched football...as they got older they still do, that hasn’t changed. Younger people, with more options, some of which gravitate away from manly man things more so now than in the past, etc, etc, watch less. So as the population ages, the folks replacing them are watching less....it is not that people watch more with age, they watch about as much as they always have.Research as shown that under 35 view the game much differently. Some think it is too violent, too physical. If you are above the age of 35 you do not harbor nearly those views. Softer America...the data is stark. Now, maybe that makes today’s younger generation smarter (and softer), which is fine....just is what it is. Same research for hockey, boxing. The younger you are, the more the physicality is a bigger turnoff. It used to be that case in the research with women, but now younger dudes gravitating more and more to what the women’s responses were back in the day.
I have no idea why he labels it “softer,” but honestly after watching two players get carted off on stretchers the other night, I wondered if I hadn’t grown up watching the game if I would have any interest in it. Especially with all of the breaks and commercials.
