Anybody Else Find Themselves Less and Less Interested in the NFL?

[NewEra]

Yes.  Less and less interested in the nfl.  More and more interested with the Bills (if that’s even possible)

[North Buffalo]

I was out for a while completely, turned to hockey which has always been a 1a sport of mine and I still play... but the improvement last year drew me back in and I am following the Bills much more closely.  Fantasy leagues kept me in touch, but rarely watch other games because of all the commercials and other things to do.  Would rather watch hockey on my portable devices and its cheaper too.

I watched a 0-5 preseason game between the defending Super Bowl champs and a team that won 0 games.  I'm committed to football. 

[Haze_21]

I watch more than ever now.

[WMDman]

its a no from me dawg

[row_33]

finding about zero interest in at least 12 of the 16 games each week.

 

the game is fading away

 

without gambling or a good team to cheer for you've lost 95% of the spark if you are carving away from busy time to watch

I made 5 calls to directv to get a deal on the Sunday ticket. Some calls were 45 mins long. I finally got it. Is my interest in the NFL declining? Not a bit. It is my time to forget about life and root for my bills and watch other teams

THATS THE ONLY WAY TO GET SOME RESPECT AROUND THESE PARTS!

 

Attention != Respect

Partly. Can't stand watching the NFL Network for very long. I'm bored about the way they drone on about certain teams over and over instead of giving all 32 teams a fair shot. That said it's Friday afternoon and I'm on a Bill's board posting about the NFL so I guess I still care ?

it's no fun not having interest in the Thursday or Monday night games for weeks on end

Still a huge fan, but fantasy football has had an odd impact on the my interest in the NFL.  I now want to watch multiple games even when the Bills are playing and sometimes I find that am too focused on particular players for other teams at the expense of the attention I should be paying to the Bills game.

[Buffalo_Gal]

I am still very enthusiastic about the Bills, but the rest of the NFL? Nope.

[mannc]

In general, no, I'm not less interested in the NFL.  What I'm tired of is being subjected to games involving the same teams, week in and week out. 

[Buffalo Barbarian]

No

My Sundays in the fall used to be centered around the NFL. I'd wake up, watch the pregame show. Drive to the bar. Watch the Bills. Drive home. Watch whatever late afternoon game I could get on local TV, or RedZone. Watch the Sunday Night game. Then usually watch MNF. 

 

Now, I'm just as passionate about The Bills as I've ever been. Go out to the bar, watch every game. New Year's Eve was probably the best day of my year last year. Pumped for this season. But I can count on one hand the number of non Bills games I watched last year. If anything, I'd rather watch a college game if I have no direct rooting inteuserest. 

 

I don't give a **** about the anthem protests. While I'm not the biggest fan of the new rule changes, it hasn't turned me off completely to the NFL. I just find myself less enthused to watch NFL football than I used to be. Even my fantasy players I usually just check the stats online. Anybody else feel this way?

 

It's less violent , so it's not as fun to watch as it used to be. Also as people age their interests sometimes changes .

 

 

[FLFan]

I am right with you OP. I have been there for a while now.  I never miss the Bills but I did not watch even close to an entire non-Bills NFL game last year until the playoffs and even then, only a few.  

[BuffaloHokie13]

Yeah, I go to the bar for the Bills game and that's about it for NFL football for me unless I'm planning on napping on the couch. I frankly have better things to do than watch teams I don't care about.

I only follow the bills.. I've never really cared about watching any other games... Never really interest me.. Once the teams I have emotional attachment have played their game or have been eliminated (Sabres / Bills)  I'm done...  I just cannot watch a sport if a Buffalo team is not representing. No interest no matter the sport

[Rochesterfan]

Nope - there are differences in how I consume the NFL now, but my passion is still there.

 

In the past - I would watch pregame shows on ESPN because I loved Boomer and the guys and it was fun - then I would watch the post game to see highlights and anything else I missed - again Boomer and TJ were awesome to watch.

 

Now I have no desire to watch Pre or Post game - the people are just annoying- guys like Irving, Chris Carter, Randy Moss, Faulk, and a variety of coaches just give me nothing at all worth listening to.  Post game - you can go on the internet and get stats, scores, big plays, etc both live and after the game no need for sports center or NFL network post game shows.

 

I consume much more NFL right now than ever before - including time on this board - I also have access to way more information than ever before and I think it is great.
