AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I will usually watch some football, but I don’t obligate myself to spend an entire day at it, often there are pressing things to get done like getting things ready for winter around the home on a nice fall weekend. Today, we’ll be taking our granddaughter to lunch and shopping, but I’ll probably catch some of SNF 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. That's why the depression about wins against the Giants and Bucs seem silly. The Chiefs win in the same manner 4 to 5 times a year in prime time and get praised. They get a favorable call on the last drive or a hail mary doesn't work and Mahomes really did a great job. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills!Win! Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 There’s only a few teams I can watch. I can only take so much of the giants, jets, saints, falcons, panthers, Texans, bears commanders, cardinals, Steelers… so many boring teams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Since direct TV lost the ticket. Apparently they now give redzone for free(at least I hope I'm not paying). Usually just keep that on if the Bills aren't on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Yup. I can almost always find a game of interest - maybe something that affects the Bills, or maybe just a good matchup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Just now, Solomon Grundy said: YES!! Without the pins/needles or Xanax!! Yes! Best Sunday of football is after a Bills Thursday night win. And I don’t watch red zone because I think it gives a skewed perspective. For example, it you had been watching RZ two weeks ago, you would have come away with the impression that the Bengals offense is 100% back because they scored on their first two drives. And then your focus would have shifted to other games because the Bengals never made it back to the Red Zone again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may actually be the most insightful and truthful statement I've seen on this board is quite a while.

Augie Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Since the NFL demonstrated how little they care about the integrity of the game during our London trip, I have learned to care far less about the NFL. Home game my ass. They have been building a Jags fanbase there since 2013. The Jags should NEVER play a “road game” there. And the jet lag “experiment”? Sorry, you lost me. They also took out a perfectly good field and played on what Von Miller called the worst field he had played on in 13 years in the league. Guys were dropping like flies on that field. I’m still a Bills fan, but I’m also still pissed at the NFL. I’m not sure if that will ever change. I won’t make a point of watching any NFL today. .

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I'll watch, but not intently, probably do split screen.

In my opinion the league needs to have an independent commissioner, on the order of Mountain Landis, tasked with ensuring/restoring integrity to the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) I'll likely run Red Zone in the background while I work on other things today. As far as watching a full game, between the announcers, the commercials, 10-20 injuries per game and the refs dictating the pace and sometimes the score of the game, it is very hard for me to do so if it is a non-Bills game. If you watch a full game now, you are likely to see the Verizon annoying guy interrupting a birthday party commercial more times that you will see an exciting play that isn't called back. I liked the NFL much better than the "Roger Goodell's football themed sports entertainment show sponsored by Draftkings" that we have this season.

PetermansRedemption Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Watch nearly every game. I watch every prime time game, even the garbage ones. If the Bills aren’t on it’s either prime time game or NFL red zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 If not watching closely, you have to flip the games on around 3:30 when they are in the 4th Qtr. Usually there’s 2 or 3 that come down to the last second. As an NFL fan, it’s the best time of the day. My BetMGM account is looking good lately, i’m definitely putting a few small wagers on the games today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
