NFL has a number of big, big problems and it's become a boring product; something you can not afford in todays world of endless options.
Here are my main issues with it:
1. 11 minutes of Actual Game Time: The average NFL game is about 11min of actual football but takes 3hrs to watch... Just doesn't seem right!
2. Way too much BS: Too Many commercials, halftime is longer, there are less plays, a tv timeout way too often and it's just hard to get into the game unless its a great game.
3. Better Options: We all have a 2nd screen now and access to anything online. Would you rather play a game, surf the net, chat with a friend, check Facebook OR Watch another commercial?
4. Game is SLOW: each play takes about 4-6 seconds and another 40 seconds between plays! This is very very slow for the younger generation. They loose interest at about 8 seconds and games like basketball, hockey, even soccer are a contant back and forth.
5. No Great Teams: Most of the nfl is mediocre and even the good teams are just ok. This year the Cowboys, Pats, Raiders, Seahawks are all very good but none of them are great. I rember when there were actual rivalries and a great team was going to win it all, instead of a team like the Broncos.
6. Great TV: TV has never been better. There are so many great shows you can watch live, on HBO, Netflix, etc... Many poeple would rather catch up on Game of Thrones or Westworld than watch a random nfl game..
