Its Getting Hard To Watch NFL Games

Hank Kingsley said:

I'm up at 4:30 AM on a workday.

But I live on the Best Coast so the game is usually over before 8:30 PM.

IDK how I would like NFL at 10a but that works for the primetime games.

10 AM is perfect.

Wake up, shit shower shave, make coffee, read a book for a while and the punch the clock.

10 AM till 9 PM.

Then bed..........

Teams I dislike get as much viewing out of me as teams I like.

Never miss a Seattle or Philly game.......

Sunday Ticket is the ticket.

But to do it right you need multi-record capability. My PVR will do 6 at once.

My brother has two of those babies on same cable network in his home and can record 12 at once.

With no commercials, halftimes, etc. and skipping between plays, 4-5 games can easily be viewed in total before the afternoon games begin, more or less......

NFL Game pass is what I usually get just for that.

Last few years my plan has been watch the 2-3 games I wanted on TV. Then since I have Monday off, go to NFL game pass and you get all the games after they happen multiple angles, and without commercials (basically as soon as the whistle blows, the next play is there with a second before the snap). Then watch all the other games. about 40 minutes a game. Then Monday night and Thursday night.

This will be my 3rd season not missing a snap.

Because it was created after Rodgers broke his collar bone last year after being pancaked....

Yup, tuck is the Brady rule now
horsecollar is the Roy Williams Rule
Hit below knee is the Palmer/Brady rule (instituted after Palmer, added to it after Brady)
that ones the Rodgers rule.


Jimmy Graham rule is no dunking over the goalpost
Ricky Williams rule is hair is part of the uniform when tackling
Calvin Johnson rule is maintaining posession through the ground
Emmitt Smith rule removing helmet on the field

Funny how you don't see Packers fans complaining about the exact same type of RTP call that went against the Vikings' Eric Kendricks earlier in the game, which resulted in the Packers netting 3 points they wouldn't have under the old way the rules were written. Meanwhile, most of them seem content to moan about the call on Matthews like the Vikings just got all the good calls that game. Or even worse, they admit that the call against Kendricks was no better, but try to justify it as though that particular call (which ended up resulting in a Green Bay score) "didn't effect the game, so it didn't matter", blah blah blah.

We can agree that the flags are getting out of hand. That being said, for that particular game, they couldn't call Kendricks earlier and then not call Matthews for the exact same thing later on just because it inconveniently (for the Packers) negated a Packers INT. Bad rules are one thing, but inconsistent officiating within a particular game is the worst thing they can possibly do that makes the games completely unwatchable.

Also, I literally made a thread during that game talking about how annoying the flags were getting, and all the Packers fans here told me I was just being a whiner. Oh, how they changed their tune when an important one didn't go their way... lol.

I don't care about watching on Monday aside from the Monday night game.

I prefer to control my destiny on Sundays.

It was ok for me when I lived in Denver. Usually my Fox eagles games were clear.

Learning this season in Minnesota that I'm usually having to see the Eagles after. This year though Minny gets CBS and Eagles get fox so I think I will be alright.

We get east/west FOX/CBS channels plus CTV/TSN pick up games too.

And still with all that coverage I still require Sunday Ticket....

Addicts need their shit.
