The insane number of commercials when watching a game ruins the experience a bit. TNF notoriously just sucks and the on field product isn't very entertaining, plus I don't feel like sitting through a 3+ hour game on Thursday night.
And I just think the game has changed for the worst. I mean, let's be serious. Did anyone go into watching this past SNF game (PIT vs KC) and actually think KC had a chance vs PIT in PIT? There are too many games like that. Where it's obvious which team really is a severe long shot to win. I kind of think it comes down to the growing importance of having an elite QB today. I think the number of strategic ways that you can win an NFL game has decreased over the years.
To me, I'll pay more attention come playoffs when the games aren't super pointless to watch. There's about 20-24 teams I really just don't care for that much to sit and watch a game for 3+ hours. When it's playoff time, I'll watch. When the best teams are left, I'll watch. When it's TEN vs CLE or something like that, yeah, I'll find something more productive to do. I know those two teams are going nowhere, so in my mind, what's the point?
Too many times this year, I've come away from watching games on Sunday and thinking, "Well, that was a waste of time. Completely pointless that I just wasted my day away watching awful games." Maybe I'm watching the wrong games, I don't know. I also don't have RZ/Sunday Ticket, but in reality, if the games in my view were better, I probably would buy it. But since the majority of games just aren't that entertaining to me, I just don't see the point in forking over the money.
