The NFL is really starting to water down their product. Their doing too much with all these international games and now black Friday games. The reason the NFL get so many people to tune in is due to the limited amount of days it's on. Thursday football is already crap, imagine them now trying to shove all these games in our eye balls. Even the Thanksgiving night game is crap, and I don't think I'm gonna wake up early to watch a game in London, never have and don't plan to unless it's Dallas.

it's about money. i agree that for the diehard fan it IS getting watered down and the rules going all for the offense isn't my pref. but they are catering to the casual fan because there are many of them and the more tv contracts they can sell, the more events they can sell (like breaking the draft into thurs night, fri night and sat), the more money for the players and the owners.

The NFL wants to grow just like any other business. Expanding outside the USA is the only way to do that. The number of games in Europe and Mexico are only going to increase.

I agree with that. But, it's still better than watching 2 teams play that will have a top 10 draft pick next year.

I love it...it is not watered down at all.
I don't care how they are using games in Europe. As they really want to establish teams there. That is the watered down part. Expansion. Then there will be too many teams and players that are in the XFL & USFL will flood the NFL.
As for TV games, I think it is great. However for those that get NFL ST, that is less games on Sunday to flip through, but still plenty to choose from.
Die hard fans as well as casual fans will tune in no matter what. We get those that complain all the time they hate TNF as well. But I love that also. If gives me more options.

Fans of both teams may be ok with that.

Then do as I do.
The scedule will be on websites right at the time the show starts. I look at the website and at the threads on here. I never watch the Tv show other than the 1st 5 minutes or so.
Why does this type of stuff bother so many fans? Just don't tune in. It is not going away.

It's all about the money. That's why the players should fight for all they can get. The owners are making a killing. I wish it would go back to Sunday and Monday night only but it's only getting worse. They would play 7 days a week if the owners had their way.

Cool....more football to watch....
...J/K. Yes, that would be too much. But the way it is with some specialty date games are fine. No one says you have to tune into every game that is on.I think they don't need 25 themes of Housewives shows....that is way too much. But since I don't watch them, they can have 50 as far as I care.
Of course it is about money...and the players per the CBA get a % of that so the more the owners make and the NFL, the more the player make. Even vet minimums go up, as well PS players pay.

Plus they’ve been doing this for years. Just like the draft it’s a drawn out process and it’s not going away. It won’t be any different next year either or the year after that.
