I agree star power huge factor but also the damn rule changes. Its getting more and more difficult to follow the game for some of the fans.

5) All the stuff Drew Brees said.

Refs dictating the game outcomes with direct contact with the NYC headquarters. It is so obvious the league office is trying to pick winners and loosers

petty tacky flags, blatent no calls, picked up flags... etc
