Can't stand Luck

The Chiefs were 9-0 in 2013.
Luck isn't overrated, he's injured. Something they did not report and may get punished for. Also, his team isn't that good; not sure why they were viewed as a reasonable pick for the Superbowl.As someone who really only somewhat understands the game this year, Luck seems quite overrated..
On that theme:
What happened? Were they not good either?

Kaepernick has lost his place to Blaine Gabbert.
He's not. He's injured and their offensive line is shite. I'd still pick him if I was a GM and I could build my team around anyone.As someone who really only somewhat understands the game this year, Luck seems quite overrated..
Good defense. Game manager for a QB.What happened? Were they not good either?
Actually, it's 10 games (if you include the two preseason games). Season tickets would be priced accordingly, so my concern would be less for the fans on possibly losing out on a game and more about competitive balance in regards to travel. Making west coast teams fly 5,000 miles is harsh. Also would suck to be the London-based team and have to fly 10 times across the pond.Fans get 8 games a season (I'm ignoring the playoffs) - this isn't baseball or basketball...so it's a bit of bitch to then potentially lose one of those games to London.
You can have the Jags.How do Americans feel about the International series, and the proposed London franchise?
Niners are a farce this year

But, the fact remains, only about 7% of NFL fans have EVER attended a game. The game and hell even stadiums are now being built with the TV audience in mind.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones acknowledges - “That stadium I built was built for television. I could have built it for $800 million, not [$1.2 billion]. But I wanted to design a ‘wow’ factor so that an Al Michaels could be sitting there, and basically through his talent make the fans at home on television feel like that they were right there at the game, a part of what was going on at the game.
Jerry World is a huge draw, and also pulls in a lot of non-NFL events due to its glamour.How does a stadium affect TV viewership? I can't recall any fans watching a team because the stadium has the wow factor. Building a stadium that does not match with the ticketing revenues is one of the dumbest moves in financial management of a team. It might boost tourism tickets, but that all I can see.
It doesn't. Nobody is going to be persuaded to tune in and watch a game cos of the stadium they're playing at. Jerry Jones built Jerry World to pad his own inflated ego, and Texans live by the motto "bigger is better". To assist with construction costs for building AT&T Stadium, Jerry received $325 million from the city of Arlington as well as a $150 million loan from the NFL. They have enough college football and basketball games, concerts, and events to justify the costs.How does a stadium affect TV viewership?

I thought they rejected the Chargers and only the Rams would go there?A dumpster fire. To think they were a few plays away from winning it all a few years ago.
I think it's absurd given the logistics. LA doesn't even have a team yet, though they're about to get 2.
Rams, Chargers, and Raiders are all trying to move to LA.I thought they rejected the Chargers and only the Rams would go there?
It really is an incredibly impressive stadium, one I'd love to see in person. Live fans, tv fans, it's big time, which is the real point.Jerry World is a huge draw, and also pulls in a lot of non-NFL events due to its glamour.
Last I heard, it would be the Chargers and Rams. The Raiders would stay, but they want two teams there to make it more profitable. Same as NY.I thought they rejected the Chargers and only the Rams would go there?
That is the best experience in American sports, but we are talking money here.It's a boring corporate stadium. Go to a college stadium with history and tradition and soul.
That Twickenham deal is interesting, I heard they still had a 3 game deal with Wembley so.. 5 games next year? Happy with that as Twickenham is far closer to me.
Do hope we get a decent team come over though.
I still think he will do better in a better offensive team i.e. better receivers and better offensive line.Luck is overrated to the extent he was being anointed a surefire future hall of famer.
Leave that aside and he is a very good young quarterback, but one who is prone to making a lot of mistakes - he has been throwing interceptions like they're going out of style...and not just this year, but his entire career.
Andrew Luck -
Touchdowns - 99
Interceptions - 55
Fumbles - 31
Completion % - 58.1%
But, I expect him to sort this out in the next couple of seasons and he'll break a few records before he retires.
Colts fire their OC...haha.
Yeah it's his fault the GM didn't sign any offensive linesmen...it's amazing.
Holy crap, I had just assumed they were like 3rd or something.Wait a minute, Colts are leading their division?! fecking hell the AFC South sucks
Holy crap, I had just assumed they were like 3rd or something.
worst division in football.Holy crap, I had just assumed they were like 3rd or something.
AFC South and NFC East are the worst of the lot.
