Mr. WEO Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 So....reducing the length of each Q will make the games shorter, you say? LOL. Mind blown!! WTF is this?? Anyway, the Bills game finished in time to catch the end of the Colts/Texans game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, the last time anyone actually checked this NFL games featured about 11 minutes of "actual" playing time in a game that takes about 3 and a quarter hours to complete. That is, time in which the ball is in play, snap-to-whistle. EDIT: and when I've spent time around foreign soccer fans, this is perhaps the thing they're most mystified about ... the amount of dead ball time.

Reduce injuries to players, especially with the extra games the league will be adding. eliminate the Refs and let them play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 What was funny (to me) looked at my clock and it was 3:45 PM and the game clock was at ~5 minutes to go in the 4th. the game ended nearly 20 - 25 minutes later.
