Are people expected to watch some of these games?

I mean really? This has to be the worst year ever for overall standart . Apart from fans of the teams who would possibly want to watch KC - Was ? TB - CAR? GB - DET? JAX - STL?

What happened to the salary cap providing a closer league where anybody can beat anyone?

Someone is watching STL/JAX.

I'm the guy.

[Houston]

lulz The Texans may not always win but they atleast put on a good cheesy Offensive performance that's fun to watch.

I'm sure fans of the team are but seriously .... ask yourself . If I didn't like the Rams . Would I even glance at the score of this shithole?

That is why those games aren't on national tv.

I think this is the salary cap working at its finest.

I'm watching Drew Stanton and Daunte Culpepper have a competition to see whose third string next week.

Wasn't the cap supposed to keep teams close? The difference between the top and bad teams is bigger than ever

[Sharkweather]

Cap doesn't solve everything. Lot of other factors come into play.

bad management causes good teams to be good and bad teams to be terrible.

[Point Blank]

It sucks living in the D.C. area. Thank god for the internet.

I agree

But would you say it's fair to say that nearly half of the league is horrible right now

Becuase that's what I'm seeing

Sorry for the rant :D ... guess having a bye week does this to me

Yeah, cap salaries mean nothing when u got bust like Jamarcus Russell or draft steals like...........um whoever's a young draft steal out their now making a difference for the team.

Half the league is usually horrible. There are 6 teams from each conference that makes the playoffs (12 teams) and then maybe 4 that can challenge for one of the wildcard spots.

Last season you had 11 teams that were under .500 and 5 teams that were exactly .500. That is 15 teams.

I would say last year there were only really 10 "good" teams.

It was supposed too, but mismanagement is popular. Especially with teams who are around .500 but have a team better than that, but they can't progress because everyone around them is just as good. Then after a few years od mediocrity the team gets blown up and they start rebuilding. (Jags, Bucs, Panthers, Redskins, Seahawks, and Houston and San Diego to some extent).
