Today was a first for me

I did the same. But I actually started doing this last year.

Left in the 3rd qtr and there was traffic...

Hard to give a shite about this team when the players obviously don't

Hell, coaches either

Personally, I just watch and laugh. There's enough stress in everyday life to let football make it worse. The times of being really mad about them losing are gone. I still pull for them every week though and hope for them to improve.

This defense sucks monkey balls. How many years does it take to fix a fricking defense ? Geezzz

Anybody remember a game vs the Vikings in the '90s where Minn scored on every possession except the last, when they ran the clock out? I have a memory of going out to do yard work while that game was on.

Sorry if this is irrelevant

First regular season game I've ever left early. After LSU's shite show last night, I just couldn't handle it anymore. Near the end of the 3rd quarter, a peace came over me, I got up and walked out. CSP and ML

I watch the whole game, unemotionally.

Trudged through all of it but it's still hard to talk about. It's re minding me of a bad movie that makes you wonder why you are even watching. You know the lines and cliches. You have seen the same plot devices over and over. You might glance at a clock and wonder how much longer until it is over. It has been about enough reruns for me. They've changed characters and tried altering the script but the repetitious narrative has worn thin. Are the credits rolling yet?

No doubt the last 4 seasons have left me deflated. It's hard to watch other NFL games now too.
