Part 2/7:
The Week in question kicked off with the Thursday night matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, which left viewers feeling utterly disappointed. With one fan even emailing to inquire about the term "flaming ass fire," presumably referencing the dismal state of these matchups, one can't help but feel a sense of despair over what is being offered in televised NFL games. Ironically, the term could well describe the frustration felt by viewers as they try to light their enthusiasm for the sport amidst a barrage of disappointing performances.
