>The total audience for the Sept. 10 prime-time game totaled 21.65 million viewers, down 6.3 percent from the 23.1 million viewers who tuned in to last year’s SNF debut match-up. >Last year’s SNF ratings were down 16 percent from 2015’s first game. >The first game of the season, ESPN’s “Thursday Night Football,” was off 11.5 percent from the year earlier’s first game.
wasn't it the same last year anyway? I remember reading everywhere that the ratings were collapsing and NFL was done
Ian Hill
Last year was first year EVER that NFL ratings went down. Ratings are important to negociate TV deals, that give NFL those sweet $$$, about which Amerifats here boast so much (muh biggest monies).

Joseph Adams
commercials are out of control, I can't stand watching anymore
Eli Richardson
maybe have the cowboys play someone besides the fucking giants for a season opener
can you imagine the ratings of a cowboys & patriots opener, holy shit
Xavier Price
I bought their game pass and watching a full game over 2 hours without commercials is how I'll be watching from now on. Can't watch it live but it's worth it just to avoid commercials.
Levi Long
Millennials don't care about sports.
Xavier Allen
not every match can be Cowboys vs. Patriots You'll have 15 other uninteresting matches who will get abysmal ratings And without good ratings, no TV money
maybe because millions of people were watching hurricane coverage instead
Angel Nelson
Average NFL viewer is 50 years of age. When they retire, they are taking the NFL with them. It'll be great to have that everyone wins, no fun allowed, large African male worshipping league off the air but I shudder to think that it'll just be replaced by e-sports.

You gotta check and check Sup Forums again Ameribro, because NFL is nowhere to be seen.

There is no game today you retard and there is a /nfl/ general wait until sunday
Chase Powell
I rarely watch BET Sports (ESPN), but I doubt e-"sports" are that big
Robert Davis
Isn't the real problem all the out-of-market fans pirating? Why can I watch every Browns game live in Europe with GamePass, but not 2 states over? Sunday Ticket is 90% teams I don't care about and channels I don't want.
Evan Murphy
Read the article you idiots
>The game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants pulled in an 8.0 rating in the 18- to 49 -year-old demo — up 6 percent from the first SNF game last year, according to preliminary ratings numbers from Nielsen.
This is the money demographic that advertisers actually care about, and numbers are up from last year. This despite Hurricane coverage pulling away fringe viewers.
Here's a neutral TV ratings website that gives you the SNF ratings without an agenda and presents it as more or less decent news for the NFL.
New York Post reported the unadjusted number vs Last year's adjusted number. This year's unadjusted number beat last years unadjusted number and the adjusted number this year will be last years.

On Sundays, this board is completely dominated by NFL threads.

Why do retards even respond to this shit? It's the same French cuck who made these false flag threads last year
Jordan Wood
Americans have jobs. I know it's a hard concept for yuropoors to grasp.
Cameron Johnson
This. If America put its greatest shitposting talents into Sup Forums Yurotards would have no choice but to bend over and take it. It would be total domination but our best don't care about this activity, unlike 3rd worlders who know nothing else other than squatting all day in online hovels and mocking each other.

The league is heading toward collapse if they don't make some major reversals of its current course, and I'm guessing they won't.
Charles Hall
Isn't there a bull you should be prepping?
Evan Turner
You guys always boast about HOW much you control this board but even after 3 years that I've been here I've never seen it, besides the odd NFL/NBA/MLB day inb4 >there are no games But there are never games??? only sunday? Also isn't NFL season on YET? Why isn't NFL *dominating* Sup Forums right now? pls explain
Brayden Morris
The NBA is still popular and it's 99.99% black and full of sjw anti-white america shit. The NFL just needs to expand overseas.
Luis Rogers
Fucking haram lad.
Brayden Reyes
I hate thin blue line faggots so goddamn much. If I flew a black and white flag of the stars and stripes, I would get shit. They think because they have that gay ass blue line, they're for "the right thing".
Literally virtue signaling cunts

she's a poser who probably didn't even watch the match

NFL won't expand over seas, because she game just isn't just that good.
American football is like Gaelic football; it'll only ever appeal to people who've been taught to like it. And that's Americans.
Ayden Wright
>The NFL just needs to expand overseas. Won't work. They started "international series" but besides the expat attending and novelty it won't have much success on LOCAL TVs
NFL desperatly tries to expand overseas (because it knows it's doomed inland) but is cockblocked - in Canada (they have Canadian footie) - in Europe ("football" name is already taken plus we have rugby) - in China (but President Xi Jinping said it was soccer now so they have little gouvernement support) - in Nigeria (despite they are poor niggers) - in Brazil (they don't really care either) Without even mentioning the timezone, which are already a nightmare for a coast customer when his franchise plays on the other coast
Expansion only could work in Mexico
Anthony Clark
>thin blue line faggots
Cops are literally people too dumb to get in to the Army.
Henry Cruz
A lot of ex military personnel get in as well. Doesn't change the fact that they are no better or worse than any of us, simply based on the merit that they sit in a car, staring at a laptop, until their machine beeps and tells them to go stop that guy and make him late for work because he was going 7 over.
Never happened to me, but I live in a very small town with virtually next to no violent crime. These retards just get bored and ruin the lives of the working people.
Bentley Sanchez
We should ban all commercials and pay for TV and internet through a tax.
Christopher Wright
Too bad it won't happen faggot. But you can keep licking boots, I sure as fuck won't
Joseph Garcia
dude I can tell you as someone who has participated in 'e-sports' for at least 12 years now, it's not going anywhere, trust me. It will stay right where it is, but its not going to touch television
NFL slowly dying off will be a good blow to Television in general
Everything needed to be moved online/streamed 7 years ago.
Kayden Martinez
If I was the NFL i'd be pissed pissed about the kneeling crap because it's basically a story the networks are pushing to fill air time, it's seems to be hurting the ratings but if you tell the networks to just stop going up and down the sideline and keep em on who ever is actually singing the anthem the networks would leak it saying the NFL is trying to shut down free speech or some shit
Adrian Morris
nobody makes money with online/streaming though
Colton Williams
Dude, so edgy. Keep on dropping the truth bombs on the plebs
Benjamin Rivera
It's lazy Civil Rights nostalgia. No one actually believes it's some legitimate/important movement.

True. I don't know how you solve that problem, advertisements built around breaks are the foundation of football.

hmm...there are 2 million people without power right now in houston and florida...I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
Chase Harris
I remember saying at a party like 4 years ago the league was gonna be in trouble cause of the quality of play and concussions. Everyone actually laughed at me and meanwhile they're the ones tuning out.
Fucking normies... they should of believed in my supreme intellect
Kayden Brown
Remember when guys like AP, MJD or LT ran the league wild for years. Running backs are so fucking useless now since muh concussions muh ACL, teams have new RB1s every other year. They don't last anymore.
Noah Howard
they still rule in collegeball, NFL Lines are so athletic and the schemes are so good now your O line has to be special like Dallas or incredibly unique with zone blocking schemes to have an effective back field game in today's NFL.
Lucas Long
I was one of them, and on Sunday I couldn't give a shit less about football because I was more worried about my house getting annihilated.
Jack Thomas
ratings are down because everyone in LA who isn't a Rams or Chargers fan won't want to watch them get blown out every week

Jaxon Gutierrez
Not true, the black and white flags are quite popular. I know quite a few people with them. They don't catch shit for it. You are just looking for a reason to bitch like the cry baby faggot you are.
Alexander Powell
as opposed to all those black players saying 'fuck dis anthem fuck dis country give me more millions' or the networks pushing the same shit? nigga every side virtue signals because unfortunately there are faggots in the world who find value in being holier than thou. To blame blue line douches specifically is probably more because some a hole cop had a bad day and fucked you over a little. get over it
