It depends on whether people understand ratings. In reality, the NFL is doing vastly better than most television programming.

Here's a recent comment from Jimmy Traina:
"
Through week seven, the NFL is down 5% overall from the same point last year. That's a troubling drop for the biggest ratings powerhouse on TV, but it seems less dire when you consider that the four major networks are down an average 8% in prime time.
NBC is down 4%, CBS is down 6%, ABC is down 11%, and Fox's prime time viewership dropped 20% through the first month of the new TV season, according to Nielsen data. And those numbers are down despite the inclusion of live sporting events, which usually bring in big audiences."
What happened is a pinhead wanted to blame something else for Papa John's flagging sales.
