How interested are you in NFL kickoff tonight? (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

I think I know the answer but I wanted to ask as I'm comparing.

On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 10 (can not wait) how interested are you in tonight's NFL kickoff?

If you post on a Fantasy Football message board and choose anything other than 10, you can't be trusted bro.

I can't watch football without an ulterior motive anymore. FF is that motive (besides betting when I am able to). Practically 0 without FF consideration, 8-9 with FF consideration.

Honestly, I hate that the season starts on a Thursday night. Opening week should be all games on the first Sunday, with the exception of one or two on Monday night. That Sunday would feel like an event. I miss that.

Thursday night opening is a tease, and now the friday night game is a joke imo

opening day sunday used to feel like christmas.

We host our draft tonight, game will be on in the background.

I preferred way back when when opening games were on Sunday. Having one game on opening day isn't nearly as exciting as a whole slate of games on Sunday.

 

[Jimbo Slice]

One of the few (only?) things baseball did right, opening day, every team, games all day long. It’s like a holiday

Agreed. But if your the NFL why just dominate ratings on one day when you can dominate on three.

Regardless of the reason, which we know is money, having opening day on Sunday was always better. I guess the exception is if your team is playing on Thursday.

It's Christmas morning and the game is the first present to open. It doesn't get any better than that.

I like NFL draft day better, unless my team is playing.

Draft day is boring. Takes too long for picks and all the talking heads just get repetitive. I mean it's nothing like the movie.

I voted 8, because my 9 is reserved for redzone Sunday and my 10 is reserved for my home team opener.

 

[JohnnyU]

I voted 5. If The Colts were playing I would have voted 10.

 

[-OZ-]

I’m starting Derrick Henry in the only leagues I care about, so pretty excited.

This exactly, except replace Colts with Bengals.

Football is back!!!!

If it isn’t the Colts or draft day, I find that a good bowel movement gets a 10.

What does a good bowel movement get on Colts days or draft day?

A 1 if I’m missing the game or current pick.

Practically jumping out of my skin suit with antici…….pation.

 

[GreenNGold]

I don't know if it's just the matchup or something else, but I'm not nearly as excited as normal for tonight's game. However, I am extremely excited for Sunday! I'm also pretty bummed about tomorrow's game being on Peacock which I'm not going to subscribe to, so I'm probably taking some of my frustration with that out on tonight's game as well.

Except baseball kicks it off at like 10:00 AM PT on a weekday.

 

[Gottabesweet]

It’s been a hectic first day of school (Kindergarten) for our twins. I’m looking forward to the couch and football being back.

 

[DeaLerZ]

I put a "1"..... sick of the chiefs, wish it was literally any of the 30 other teams against the Ravens... don't want to watch them, don't want to hear about how great Mahomes is, don't want to see them in the playoffs or the superbowl for atleast 5 years.

Funny how they get called for holding a lot during the regular season, and were the 6th most penalized team last year, and had the most offensive holding calls last year during the regular season, but somehow in the playoffs the "Chiefs consistently had fewer penalties than their opponents throughout the playoffs.", and didn't have any offensive holding calls in the superbowl. They have never once had a single holding call against them in the 3 straight superbowls.

So yeah no thanks I want to watch football not whatever that is...

I am a panthers fan btw...

An opening game with Mahomes versus Lamar is exciting for both real and fantasy football. Multiple future HOFers, still playing at all-pro level. Mahomes, Jackson, Henry, Kelce, Tucker.

After a cruel summer for the Chiefs, it's time to shake it off.

For the folks not interested. Would be interested to know why?

I’m interested, but just mildly. I’ll watch the game. I do have Worthy going in two leagues, so that peaks my interest, just not as much as it used to. Besides, I hate it when the Chiefs play well.

I voted a 3 and explained in my first post.

I love all the different opinions.

I couldn't disagree more but I love the other thoughts.

Thursday night opener is a perfect way to start the season in my opinion.

Sick of the chiefs "being good". They were fun to watch like 5 years ago before the NFL wore out this broken record. It's like this decade's annoying Patriots... So many other good teams I'd rather watch, and exciting young players to watch.

Lions would have been awesome since they should have beaten the 49ers anyways with what could have been a much better superbowl to watch last year. The Falcons with a new team and head coach would have been cool, or I'd even be interested in seeing the Bears with the #1 pick, and all the changes they have made on offense and defense. I know a lot of this is marketing, ratings, and viewership... but Chiefs are not interesting at all anymore to watch lol

with that being said I hope the Ravens beat up on them... I am a Panthers fan (we have the worst owner and franchise in football now... so not a dog in this fight lol)

I never was a fan of opening one present on Christmas Eve. That’s one less present for Christmas Day.

But doesn't that make for a perfect match against a team like Baltimore?

Not for me personally. I didn't think the Chiefs should have won two years ago against the Eagles. The Eagles were the far superior team that year, and than somehow they win again last year when the Ravens were the best team in football all year. I would much rather see another very competitive team like the Packers or Lions against the Ravens as a potential superbowl preview, or even the Texans as a playoff game preview.

Football is at it's best when there is diversity each year at the top, and when there is great defensive play (I know we aren't getting that anytime soon with all the rule changes). It's like watching college football when Nick Saban was the coach in Alabama, you already know what's coming and it takes the fun out of watching big games if you aren't a Chiefs fan

With that being said I am PUMPED about Sunday!!

Yes, it is a fantasy football message board and I've got no one going tonight so I voted less than 10.

Now if it were just a football message board, you better take it to 11 bruh.

 

[nittanylion]

I'm going out of my freakin' melon waiting for this game to kick off!!!

Voted 7. I'm reasonably excited and hoping it's a good game but I hate that it's on a Thursday night. I will likely head to bed in the early 3rd quarter.

I voted 3. I was actually watching the Phillies over this until that game ended. Now the NFL has decided to put my team on Friday night. I'll be excited for that game, maybe a 7 or 8, and then totally let down for Sunday now that my team isn't playing on that day, and my excitement level will be back down to a 3 for opening weekend. Good news, my team will be playing the next Sunday . . . oh wait, they're playing on Monday Night. So another Sunday without my favorite team playing. NFL really knows how to screw up a schedule.

Pigs get fat, hogs go to slaughter. NFL, you are definitely on your way to slaughter.

The team that wins the Super Bowl gets the first game of opening night at home. The NFL has their agendas, but the Chiefs playing on the first night of the season isn't one of them.

Don't want them in the game? Beat them the year before.
