Another snoozer…

[Showboat 252]

Anyone get fantsy points for punts?

[Law 241]

Oooh! What happened? I dosed off.

[weepaws 3,148]

I have nothing to do tonight, which is very rare, so I thought I would listen to the game tonight, but I can’t, cause my radio keeps going into snooze mode.  

Just another typical nfl production.

It's a close game at the half. Home team 3 points, visitor 6 

Would you feel different if it was 24-27 ?

I don't know about you, but the score doesn't really matter to me whether I'm watching an NFL or college game. I just want it to be competitive/close.

Well, this IS a fantasy site so most of us would probably be hoping for more points as more points in real football mean more points in fantasy football.

It's hard to win in fantasy on 3 FGs - unless you have those Kickers (which I didn't, thank you Fairbum) or those Defenses or your opponent his loaded with the actual offensive players.

Well, I AM a football purist that doesn't love the game only for fantasy football purposes, and since I have no one on either team involved, I'm just enjoying the game.

This game I can't stop watching is nearly unwatchable.

Getting hard to even play ff... hurts takes a minor blow to the helmet and they pull him ... Total crap

Injuries are out of control.  I had a 7 week span where I lost a player due to injury in the 1st half of a game.  I couldn’t even get these guys to the 3rd qtr.  it was unreal.

Yep 

[Law 241]

Oh thank God! It's over!

 

Just when you thought the NFL couldn't put a worst product on the field than the Saints, the Seahhawks and da Bears say hold our beers!

 

[weepaws 3,148]

The two QBs combine for 12 ff points.  The production that the nfl now puts out is horrible.  

But I know many still enjoy the , and that’s why the nfl will keep watering it down, build it, and they will watch.

For someone who doesn't watch the games, did you know it was mostly in freezing rain ?

As someone who also played the game, it's tough on QBs and WRs to have the precision needed when the ball is wet, your hands are wet, field is wet/muddy/slippery, and visibility is more challenging., these bad weather games are forced to goto the Running game, I didn't see any down field passes.

People want these Dec/Jan outdoor games, two gunslinger QBs with a suite of WRs, this is the product you get.....see Vikings/Lions/Colts

[Law 241]

"Forced to go to the running game"

51 combined passes to 48 combined runs.

Oh, I'm not saying they can't "attempt" passing, they have to, to keep Defenses from stacking the Box, but it's much more difficult.

Geno 160yards/0TDs (vs 314/3TDs VS Vikings D last week)

Williams 122yards/0Tds (vs 334/2TDs VS Lions D last week)

Weather was documented, and also documented was how bad the production from the nfl.

The lack of production was from 2 offenses playing in a cold/rainy/night game in Soldier Field, on a short week (Owners should vote to ban TNF games)

Both offenses were great 4 days ago, against arguably the two best Defenses in the NFL.
