Do You Watch NFL When The Bills Aren’t On?

[Gugny]

If I’m home and inside, it’s background noise. 
 

Today I’ll be cleaning out the garage in preparation for winter, going grocery shopping, cleaning, then cooking dinner. 
 

I doubt my TV will even be on before the 4pm games. 

[WotAGuy]

Yup. Rooting for the Pats, 49ers, Broncos and Giants.
 

But betting on Jets, Bengals, Miami and KC moneyline parlay.

Since the NFL demonstrated how little they care about the integrity of the game during our London trip,

This really calls for an independent review of the situation. 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.

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.

Not really, especially if Kc is on I don’t watch.

I’m almost as much a fan of the NFL as I am a fan of the Bills.

 

I can’t get enough.

Not sure I will watch any football today. Might work on my Haiku instead. You?

 

Football is less fun

Roger Goodell ruined the game

I'll rake leaves instead

[TheyCallMeAndy]

I won’t, maybe Gameday Live when I’m folding laundry

[Joe Ferguson]

There is no way I'm watching the Bears tonight 

[Buffalo Boy]

   I’ll catch some of the Panther/Titans

and Bungles/49ers. If the Pats/Fins game is on I’ll watch some of that too.

   80 degrees and sunny today so we’ll probably hang out outside and enjoy it too.

[Wacka]

I lived in the SF area for almost 20 years. I'll watch them if they are on in Buffalo.

[Jay_Fixit]

Yes but I feel more free to do other things. 

[BattlinBill]

Nope, take advantage of the break and spend some quality time with the family. I'll keep an eye on the scores throughout the day but going to enjoy this mini-bye and give my blood pressure a chance to come down...

[BillsFooteball]

Absolutely all day. NFL is really all I watch. Very little into other sports and shows. I absolutely love days like this. Bills win Thursday and I can sit back stress free watching all games today and tonight rooting for bills interests. Go falcons, saints, patriots 🤮, giants, jags(tough call but jags will win division easily so I’ll take Steeler L), panthers, Seahawks, cardinals, bears, lions, niners andddd broncos!! 

[Buffalo03]

Yeah, I'm not a weirdo. These people that say "I went apple picking and spent the day shopping with my wife because the Bills weren't on" are weird. Like, there are 6 other days of the week to do that stuff. You call yourself a football fan?

[JerseyBills]

ya im watching all day/night. 

I'm heading to my boys. Between fantasy n gambling it's still very entertaining.  Obviously the Bills give me way more of an adrenaline rush

I don't understand why "football" fans do this stuff on Sundays just because the Bills aren't on. Anything I need done, I do mostly on Saturdays during football season so that way Sundays I can relax all day and watch football. People that like football but have this "eh, Bills aren't on so I'll clean the garage out" attitude, I don't get

Two questions:

 

1. What does one do to a garage to get it ready for winter? 
 

2. What’s winter? 

[PetermansRedemption]

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.

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.
