Thanks lol. I am lazy that is my problem.

Mind numbingly dumb to think the game is fixed, I can’t even read that

Fundamentals folks!!! You never tackle with your head down! Coach's will be using this as an example for decades!!!!!

I agree with this. Besides, nothing changes if Pats win another. Just another check mark for the latest NFL dynasty.

Seriously. So someone thought to pay off the guy to miss a tackle on a Hail Mary as time expires. Who paid him? Nostradamus? Dumbest thing I’ve heard in a while re an NFL game.

No, Darius Slay is the guy accusing another player of taking money to try fixing games. His claiming the Saint's player was paid off in this case is ridiculous. I'm thinking maybe he and some people he knows might be in on that kind of action, if anybody? The same way someone who cheats in a relationship is more eager to accuse others of that behavior.

Well when everyone and their mom knows NE is going to win the SB AGAIN it gets old, Also The Vikings / Saints or Falcons are not huge draws to the nation. Philly has because they have a larger fan base.

Overall the game has gotten weaker and watered down, no more big hits, teams just throw 6 yard passes (Dallas, NE, etc. ) and leagues like the NBA nd MLB Market their stars much better.

The whole kneeling thing didn't help

College Football and the NBA, ratings are way up

Not a surprise, college has a huge following all over the country, bigger than NFL? No but sometimes they can sneak in there.

NBA is a little surprising considering the warriors and cavs / Lebron dominance.

I watch more NHL lately than anything else which is a shock to myself even lol.

It's only an example because it came at one of the most crucial possible times.
Defenders whiff on tackles pretty often (which amazes me since this is their primary task...).
He's a rookie with a lot of pressure on his shoulders in this spot. He could have won the game... we whiffed.
Know nothing about him but I truly feel bad for him, hope this makes him a better player in the future.
