Whether or not I watch the NFL has nothing to do with fantasy football which I've always thought was lame and never participated in.

Wouldn't care about some of the games like Jags-Titans or Dolphins-Jets

But I would still watch without question, I've been out of fantasy for weeks and just watched 3 hours of Eagles and Skins and will watch all of Chargers and 49ers.


Watered down NFL is way more watchable than watered down College football IMO

You have to hold your breath after every single 3rd down and hope their wasn't an illegal contact or holding penalty to extend the drive with an automatic 1st down.

Not much. Certainly not teams I don't like.

I only watch the Super Bowl and some other random games throughout the season now, so no.

I lost interest in FF and the NFL the last few seasons. The flags this year made what I did watch pretty bad. Multiple illegal contact plays just sustaining drives. I'm not giving up my day to watch Refs throw flags and the same shitty commercials over and over .

While we're complaining about the NFL, I also dislike the NFL because a large % of NFL fans are just pure trash that literally have nothing to talk about other than who the Dolphins are playing.

I live in FL

Also while I'm on my soap box...the people who only can talk about their fantasy lineups are equally as annoying

Yes, but it certainly makes me interested in games I normally wouldn't

this drives me crazy. I can't stand watching games with people who constantly comment on how the game affects his fantasy team.

Only the playoffs. NFL players are employees who have very little emotion tied to their employer (team). It dilutes the game, in my opinion.

This is factually incorrect. The vast majority of the players care a frickton about the team. The difference in the locker room after a win or loss is night and day.
