The quality of play in the NFL is at an all-time low

There are about 5 teams in the entire NFL that play professional caliber football. The rest are mostly complete garbage. The problem for us is trying to figure out which garbage is going to be less shitty then the garbage they compete against on a week to week basis. Look closely at over/ unders in the NFL. There are a few every week that are no brainers. Then there are games that seem like no brainers but really aren't. Learn to figure out the difference and you can make some money. Last week example Jags/Colts, Patriots/ Steelers, Giants/Panthers, Seahawks/Niners. All great games to bet O/U because they actually played out exactly how they should have. You won't hit them all but do your research and try to avoid picking lots of sides. I don't care who thinks they're a top notch capper on here, you're never going to be able to predict a New York Jets Joe Flacco 4th quarter comeback miracle. Many of these games just aren't worth betting on. And mostly because the teams/coaches are so bad that they are completely unpredictable. And then you have the Bills. Ah, thank God for the Bills.

Funny how we perceive things.

I found this to be hilarious this morning! Not poking fun at you unplucked_gem. I'm thanking you, needed a good laugh. Your comment is correct, those greedy players & coaches are always looking to take of their bets first before ours. We should start a new movement and call it B.L.M "Bettors Lives Matter"

I think you're more after 'analytics is at an all time high' then 'quality is at an all time low'.

It's game management, it's what the pros do- they're in the business of winning. 

Agree with My Guy suggesting college ball. 

not enough scoring.  overs arent hitting.  did i read all this correctly?

in general, unders happen a lot earlier in the season as offenses find their groove.  

outside of a select few, teams have eschewed doing all that in preseason.  preseason for most is about looking at rookies/younger players

and avoid injury to their major players.  

teams arent required to play fast.  defenses can in fact be good and teams are realizing that beefing up the defensive side of the ball is imperative.

i can agree there arent enough quality QBs and without one, a team can be limited on offense.  i dont forsee a solution here.


but maybe wait a few more weeks before making sweeping generalizations and see how teams adjust into October

I think a big part of it is to play another day...  with the amount these players are making today... the urgency... is to play another year... it is worth millions...     I think this is a part of an  understanded rule... to not go full speed often...  and the rules changes have actually made this easier to do...     I also think many do not care much about winning... I think the root of all evil carries more meaning these days.       Just my 2 cents.  

@Mskeets

 That’s an accurate two cents worth. 

Turn the TV off!

Last time someone played no huddle offense was

number 10 Eli manning during his prime.. besides Brady and Aaron rodgers Eli was a nightmare for defenses when he’d bring his team back with the no huddle 4th quarter offense.

I heard this the other day it's called the new woke football

This to a t. 

They don't want thier kids gambling anymore but they are anyway and most suck really bad. Mostly the whiners. 

@beermugs

 I would say as a guy that has family & buddies in the league... These guys still train hard AF and are absolute monsters ! 

The real issue is coaching . These coaches are terrible . Players execute game plans but Job security Cancel culture  and intense media scrutiny has these guys  operating under a microscope especially these 1-4 year coaches which is most of the league...Coaches call the plays and QBs cant/won’t audible at the line every play most of these coaches are coaching not to lose . 

Anyone else notice how a lot of players aren't wearing knee pads or even thigh pads anymore?  Most punters and kickers go out there with no leg pads at all.  A lot of WRs and DBs don't wear knee pads.  Most LBs aren't wearing the bigger shoulder pads or the neck pads anymore.  I'm afraid that in 20 years, the NFL will become a 2-hand touch league - imagine the number of replays for that.  Or maybe they'll just go the flag football route.  Either way, the game has been pussified and it's really sad to witness its decline.

It's been unwatchable for years. Its just getting continually worse.
