    I’ve said it before but it’s that * Belichick for me, yes he’s got the GOAT but he moulds some * units.

    They constantly lose players who I see as difference makers.

    Suddenly some other * steps up.

    It’s infuriating. They’ve got a rookie RB, a Bengals reject, a broken TE and their only decent receivers are two white guys.

    But with those two old * they keep making it work.

    I can't believe I watched the whole thing!

    Once a year fine I suppose, not my cup a tea though.

    Don’t take that as a normal game... usually a bit more action and excitement. Equivalent of a scrappy 1-0 win that was.

    Listening to the guys in the studio talking about all the tactical stuff I found quite interesting actually, gonna read up on the rules and try and understand the game better.

    I had the full game on as well but only really took an interest in the final quarter.

    I was in this position last year :56: got full on into this season and watched the games whenever they were on.

    It’s fascinating as *.

    Boycotted this year's Superbowl after the way Saints were screwed in championship game. Love NFL more than football these days tbh but looks like I didn't miss much.

    My Sundays are back to be being free again

    Maybe it’s because I’m relatively new to NFL, I’ve always enjoyed it but in the last few years started to watch far more of it, games, red zone, GMFB, Playbook etc but...

    I really enjoyed last night! As others have said, I find it fascinating. The detail and punditry is so interesting for me, I kinda hang on every word of the commentators and studio teams.

    Someone at work came out with the whole 3 and a half hours of that blah blah blah, yet they will happily sit through 3 hours of an EPL match/build up/post match between Tottenham and Chelsea etc and listen to irritating wanks droning on about that. For me these days it’s Celtic games, NFL, and golf before anything else.

    This for me as well. I don’t know if it’s cos I’m just getting into it but every game feels like an event and because every play is like a set piece it’s fascinating to watch them try figure out who’s doing what and running were.

    Its made me absolutely dread the NBA because of their 82 game season and then best of 7 play offs and finals :giggle1:
