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.

There’s already limited “actual” playing time. No thanks.  

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.

Just want to say that im not in favor of reducing the minutes in a game but it would allow for 3 things:

 

1. make the games shorter

2. time to watch other games 

3. Reduce injuries to players, especially with the extra games the league will be adding.

 

 


eliminate the Refs and let them play.

I like it the way it is but its a common complaint that the game is too long.

 

 


that’s not very common.

 

slow maybe, but rare I hear long other than shorthand for the officials are taking too much time

which is making the game longer. Refs aren't going away.

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.

There is No valid reason to shorten the games, there are valid reasons to reduce commercial breaks though.
