I was reading somewhere yesterday that actual action in a football game is around 21 minutes. The rest is clock winding setting up the next play. So if this is true that means there are 336 minutes of action to watch each week or 5.6 hours. I think Redzone is even less than that as they mostly just show the big plays and scoring plays. I don't see the need for watching that for 8 hours. When I have watched red zone it seemed to me I could see most of their material in less than an hour. Or just watching highlights on NFL.com to fill the gaps of games you do not watch in their entirety. I think the time would be better spent crunching numbers, team stats and player stats, evaluating injuries and team tendencies. Some loose projections based off of current data tells me more than watching a great play does. When I notice things from the numbers I might want to go watch the games in question to clear up some of the head scratchers, but in the end FF is based on stats so staying on top of current stats is just as relevant to me as watching the games and for me and I think a bit more important for my evaluation than watching plays are.
