Goodell has sent out a letter discussing how the league is looking to improve the pace of play by centralizing reviews and cutting down on commercial breaks.
Less commercial breaks?
Less commercial breaks?
The reason they can't do this is exactly what you just said. They know everyone would just leave during the larger breaks to do just that.The amount of commercial time will stay the same, just the number will increase. Sounds good to me. I'd rather have longer, less frequent commercial breaks. Gives me time to get food ready, pour a new drink, walk the dog, do some laundry, wash my car, etc. before the game returns.
What they should do is do it like Soccer. Have little popups in the corner during the game and long commercial breaks during halftime. That would suck for players though, that rely on the breaks caused by TV Timeouts.
Do we really have to shorten the game Bc a bunch of short attention span millennial can't focus long enough to watch a game?
I Dvr all the games, start em about an hour later......
I don't like all the commercials either.......but it's easy to work around.
I DVR everything except sports. I like to know what's going on when it happens and the commercial breaks give me a chance to grab a snack/drink or whatever.Do we really have to shorten the game Bc a bunch of short attention span millennial can't focus long enough to watch a game?

Exactly. Sports are the one thing that I don't DVR. That's something I need to see live.I DVR everything except sports. I like to know what's going on when it happens and the commercial breaks give me a chance to grab a snack/drink or whatever.
There are too many commercial breaks but if I feel the need, I'll just pause the game after a touchdown and come back a few minutes later, ff to catch up and not miss anything (if there's a kick return I'll see it).
The penalties kill the momentum more than the breaks. Seems every play we need to look for the flag.
It would also hurt the NFL as I doubt sponsors will be paying the same amount of money just so they can get their ad stuck into a block of halftime ads that they know no one will be watching. I'd love it of course, but I don't see it working.The amount of commercial time will stay the same, just the number will increase. Sounds good to me.

Correct, I still enjoy watching football, but not all of the commercials. I don't have time for itSo people who don't like the length of the game/frequency of interruptions are "short attention span millennials"...but you also don't like it, to the point where you wait an extra hour to even start watching the games, and that's fine.
This country is full of morons stuck in their own head space , stewing in their own opinions, I swear.

I can focus on something, but I just don't have the time between mass, coaching, and everything else that I do on a Sunday.
I question the timing of it.
It's a difference between time, and.......focus. And I was trying to point out there is a simple workaround on it....
Commercials in games has been a problem for years, and now we are going to address it? Why so important now?
Saw a stat....by 2020, millennials will outnumber all other workers in the US. Huge influence
And there is a huge problem with checking your phone every 2 minutes to see who did what on facebook, twitter, whatever else....it's isolation from interacting with humans, talking, with one another. That short attention span where you pick up your phone just to check it, hold it, look at it....
So, for me, it appears the NFL is trying to rectify what has Been an on going issue only now, and that is too many commercials
Now, this is purely my moronic opinion, but I must be going, I need to update my status and tell you all about my important decisions today.
This for me as well.When I'm watching football on a Sunday I'm on the Red Zone channel all day. No commercials for me. If I'm trying to just watch the Bears game I'm either at the bar with friends so I don't pay attention to the commercials or if I'm at home I change the channel to another game. I rarely ever pay any attention to commercials.
That's why watching a full, live game is best with friends. Makes it easier to deal with all the random breaks.This for me as well.
I don't DVR the NFL because I like being able to check my fantasy scores in real-time, but without Red Zone it would be impossible not to.
I'll put the SNF and MNF games on, but unless the Eagles are on it's as background noise while I do something else around the house. The 2-4 times a year my team plays in prime time I'm always reminded of how ####### intolerable watching a full NFL game in real time can be.
I'm totally looking forward to the goal posts looking like indy cars. That's where I'd pay if I'm a sponsor.It would also hurt the NFL as I doubt sponsors will be paying the same amount of money just so they can get their ad stuck into a block of halftime ads that they know no one will be watching. I'd love it of course, but I don't see it working.
Why is the NFL looking at changing it now? Bc they heard your cries on this message board or Bc they want to appeal more to the masses???You still don't see why what you said was dumb? Let me try a different way, this is basically what you said: "I don't like watching all the commercials, so I watch the game on a tape delay. But they're making changes because millennials have no attention span to watch commercials".
This entire board has been complaining about commercials and the NFL product for years and years, and the millennial population here is low compared to most of the Internet. Millennials don't really do message boards.
It's just silly to say it's fine that you don't like something, but when another group also doesn't like it, you assume its because of a fundamental lack of focus/ability to pay attention. Nobody likes the NFL product much right now, because it's a bad product due to pacing and commercials. Regardless of generation.
Yeah no matter what the fans say the NFL will still try to cram more commercials into the broadcast any way they can.
Momentum doesn't really exist in NFL drives anymore. It is worse being at the game, watching how much players stand around waiting for commercials.
