RoadFan Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I am surprised to see a Chiefs win tonight... and of course always enjoyable to watch the Cheats lose. But nearly a 4 hour game?!?! I thought the American naptime's (baseball) pace was ambien like. I understand the money NBC is bringing in for commercials on opening night is huge, probably a few extra breaks. But the NFL is getting less interesting to many. They better fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 The college national championship was like 4.5 hours this past year. Football needs to seriously cut down on the commercial breaks. It's getting less and less interesting to watch. Constant interruption; games take forever and have no rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the sheer amount of penalties honestly. Don't think there was really any additional commercials compared to any other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Reviews, penalties, National Broadcast TV breaks, 9 TD's, and the fact the NFL is the greediest entity in the world, and will bleed the golden goose for all she is worth, don't expect this to get better EVER. This is a league that pays it's useless commish double then 99% of any player in the league to keep the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ coming in hand over fist, and for no other reason.

Way too may commercial breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen X Jet Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Agreed. I'd rather have ads on the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 There were 69 points scored, and 71 passes thrown in that game. If it's a running play, the clock keeps running. On a passing play the clock stops only eating up a few seconds. In today's NFL, with the lean toward the passing game, that's the way it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I can't watch even the jets games without a backup dvr show/movie- it's definitely resulted in a lot less emotional investment and general interests in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can't watch baseball anymore. Baseball is at it's best when your at the park on a cool summer evening, or as back ground radio if your team is in a big game.
