Little things about the NFL that annoys you?

 

My 1st one is that to watch it, you need to buy at least 5 streaming services. I wish our favorite teams would just have their own networks, I'd buy that. 

I totally miss the days where you'd turn on the TV and watch a game for free.

Great point. 

I can't stand the penalties. It seems like there's a penalty on every play. It's exhausting

I hear that this year the Championship Games are on Nickelodeon + and the Super Bowl on BET

What bugs me about that is that the players know the rules but do it anyway, dumbasses lol

True. Every possession there's at least 1 off-sides penalty, at least that's how it feels.

1 more little thing that is beyond annoying and ghey.....

"Hells Bells" being played on EVERY opponents 3rd and 4th downs 

[MDC 8,114]

17-game season annoys me. Uneven records and home / away splits.

Thursday night every week and overseas games. If you’re going to pretend to care about player safety don’t have teams playing on 4 days rest or in foreign countries.

Go back to 2 wild cards and 2 bye week teams. 14 playoff teams is too much.

Move the Chargers back to San Diego and Raiders back to Oakland.

Theres no reason to review every turnover and score, that’s what challenges are for.

In general too many flags. The default should be to let them play unless the penalty is obvious. Too much defensive holding and DPI.

There may be more.

Edit: Nee taunting rules are ass. If you so much as flex in the direction of an offensive player that’s a 15-yard flag.

Ban choreographed multi-player celebrations.

i hate it.

Edit:

it’s not just the NTL but the sports gambling ads are out of control.

How’d I forget? Go back to normal kickoffs and get rid of this abomination.

I agree. I'd rather less games than more. 

I'd be fine with 14 but that ship has sailed.

Bad Referee Ball spots bug the sh!t out of me too, do they even watch football?

Before I forget, I really dislike Human Interest Stories on pregame shows, nobody cares!!!

Terrible television. It's like like turning on an Indiana Jones movie and seeing a sally struthers commercial showing suffering dogs and begging for money to save them.

This and every time a WR begs for a PI a late flag is thrown. Also bs Neutral Zone penalties that don't look like penalties. REFS take over to much of the game!! Of course there maybe a sinister reason for it.

The color of the football is raccisss

[Big Guy 1,435]

that was NOT a Lion catch......now there's more bs

Lions getting the Red Carpet treatment late in the game

[Drizzay 760]

Too much downtime.  They go to commercial every 3min

[easilyscan 1,078]

The fact that pass interference automatically means a first down.

Was looking at my yahoo stat tracker. Can't remember which game it was, but I'm sure the trailing home team had something like 3rd & 23

PI called so automatic first down. BS imo

And this.......

The NFL places messages on player uniforms, such as on helmets and in end zones, primarily to show solidarity with social justice causes, promote unity, and support the league’s "Inspire Change" initiative. These messages, including "End Racism," "Stop Hate," and "It Takes All of Us," are designed to raise awareness regarding systemic racism and police brutality.

New kickoff rules are just plain stupid. It percolates throughout the entire game too. Teams get the ball and only have to get two first downs to be in FG range.

the ridiculous celebrations after a catch, a tackle, etc.

That's what you're paid for, just do your job and walk away, act like you've been there before

Too many commercials 

Too many penalties 

Outlawing big hits

Social engineering / woke BS

Games should only be on Sundays and Monday night, except for Thanksgiving

The draft should be all day Saturday and Sunday again 

The Rooney Rule is bullschit

Doesn't happen often, but that's especially irritating when a player on the team behind by a wide margin does it.

Absolutely and I think it happens way too much. It’s like you are down by 20 points in the fourth quarter - and break up a pass and act like you just won the game - settle down. Know the score.

How about the aholes who feel that getting a first down makes them all that, so they have to give the first down signal ?
