Domdab99 Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I'm not as psycho about it these days, but then, I'm 55. But I'm still a huge Bills fan and love watching just about any NFL game that's on.

Still love my Bills and watch them whenever I can, but soccer is my favorite sport. I can watch just just about any soccer game, but it’s hard for me to watch football unless it’s the Bills or the Super Bowl. I probably could watch a game and enjoy it. I would watch two hobos fight over a Cheeto if they kept score 1

From how I feel, and people I've spoken to, lots of people are sick of the Patriots. If you're experiences are different then say so, but don't tell me what I'm seeing and hearing is false.

Even if people don't admit it, deep down they know a lot of Pats games in particular are fixed somehow. The game is softer than it ever was, and the pregame shows are just trash with zero insight, personal stories nobody cares about, talking over each other, and fake laughter. I get excited in the offseason but I lose a lot of my passion during the season when I see how much the refs can control the game with subjective holding and PI calls, and now defensive hits. The joy and excitement isn't there anymore, at least not like it used to be. Sunday used to be like Christmas morning, not anymore. I would not say just the pats* but the overall feel that so many calls from officials are made based on preconcieved notions. Combined with rules that do not make sense the game is less fun then 10 years ago. Edited August 24, 2018 by Buffalo Timmy Forgot the word not 1
reddogblitz Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I like watch the games. All the other pre game shows, tweets, political opinions of players, protests, funny gifs, awards shows, etc i don't care about or pay attention to. I'm in it for the football and that's it.

I refuse to watch the patriots unless they're playing the Bills, which means I haven't seen the last two Super Bowls or AFC Championship games. Last year the patriots were gift wrapped a number of games (I do watch highlights, especially after hearing how they were given victories) And there is no question in my mind the NFL wants to give Marcia another ring before he gets reclaimed by the aliens that put him on this planet. I won't see it when it happens and I'm fine with that. It's easy to say it's not an excuse when you're a patriots fan such as yourself. Edited August 24, 2018 by frostbitmic

Hopefully we 're far enough ahead so it doesn't matter. 1
vorpma Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Just tired of the politics! Stop before you tell me the anthem is politics!
gomper Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Yes, but understand I would watch everything before. I don't watch NFLN or ESPN because it's unwatchable. I'll turn on the pregame with the sound way down at 12:30. I rarely watch TNF because the games are so bad. Same with MNF. Unless, of course one of my fantasy players is going. The Bills are a different story and so is the 4:15 game if it's a great match up. SNF is on to end the week.
fan_in_tx Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I don't think the product is a good as it use to be. Football use to be easy to follow and fun to watch, its prime was mid eighties to 2000. Too many rules nowadays, rules no one can understand. The running game is non existent for the most part for most teams and watching incomplete pass after pass or 2 yard outs is not exciting in my opinion. 1

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 interest. 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? Sort of. I could care less about the protests too, but I honestly think fantasy killed it for me. I'm more interested in stats for my DFS team then anything else really (outside of the Bills winning of course), so it's more like my interest mutated in probably a negative way.

My Fridays all year long used to be centered around going to work, coming home, cleaning up and going to the bar and running the girls. Got up on Saturday, didn't have to go to work, had more time to rinse and repeat Friday night. Now. years later I'm just not as passionate about doing that. Still like doing that, just not as much as I use to.

Seriously though, the upcoming spread of sports wagering beyond Vegas will be great news for the NFL even though they fought it. Fantasy football isn’t the same as having skin in a real game. And they’ve never created a game as conducive to wagering as football. What, you wanna bet the over on a soccer match?

jr1 Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 I still watch the games and read the board but hardly listen to sports talk radio or watch highlight shows anymore 1
Lurker Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 The actual games on the field? Nope, still love em. The 24/7 media and message board remora attached to those games. Yeah, I'm increasingly tired of that... 1
