NFL: ***2022 NFL Season Thread***

Wirfs going down is awful for our OLine. 2nd best OL in the league behind Trent Williams and one of the few Hawkeyes I like. Hopefully it's just a sprained ankle...
 
Tempted to watch the Nickelodeon broadcast this afternoon.

I’m gonna watch it. Hopefully it will get my toddler to shut the **** up about watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse instead of anything else
 
And now a second Tampa lineman is down
 
Philly just isn't built to play this kind of game. Their only hope was a low scoring game where they could rely on their run game.
 
I mean the last two games have been 78 -17 so far.

Pretty goddam competitive
The thing of it is, even with the two blowouts, the NFL is basically going to own the entire weekend, from a viewership perspective. Advertisers don't have many other options that have the same scope.

Blowout or not, these games draw more eyes than anything else out there, so the money train keeps on rolling.

Between the extra wild card games, the big bump in viewership, and the 17th game, I doubt the league has many complaints about the way things are playing out
