Between all the flags and all the reviews there is no flow to the game. It is almost unwatchable with all the flags against the defense. It is almost impossible to be a shut down corner these days. Long gone will be the days of a good old fashion defensive dog fight, they are going to turn this league into Arena football.

I second that. Just send the receivers out, it doesn't matter if the ball is catchable, defensive holding!

It really is a joke, there is almost no chance for a corner to be "physical". The next step will be letting the WR's run towards the line of scrimmage presnap like the CFL. I like defense so maybe I am a little bias but I am glad to see that others see it my way also.

You arent biased. The powers that be think they are improving the game, but are actually starting to kill it.

YOU GUYS forget that this is PRESEASON

Tons of inaccuracies flow thru the game with corrupt calls and no calls

Bet accordingly......................THE NFL IS A BUSINESS

If youre losing more than youre winning.....YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BETTING THE GAME

I used to think just like this and many sports are almost UNBETTABLE..............I now accept the flaws and bet accordingly

GOOD LUCK THIS YR

Not talkin about betting. Simply watching the game is getting worse due to what was said previously.

Two straight illegal contacts against the Hawks. 2nd one wipes out a pick six. There was nothing there to call. What a friggin joke this league has become.

WTF are you talking about? I am talking about the way the game is being called and you are talking about betting more than you can afford. The amount of flags and the ridiculous BS calls are making the game hard to watch and hard for a team to get a rhythm,.

The one change I do like and wish they would keep is the longer extra point. Extra points have become so automatic that it adds nothing to the game, a 33 yard extra point isn't automatic. I like it.

I couldn't agree more...NFL this preseason is almost as bad as watching a Red Sox or Yankees game that last 4+ hours. Just painful.

Only hope is that this preseason is to set expectations for the regular season, with the plan to back off week 1.

Otherwise I won't watch a single game except for the RedZone channel or the Patriots

And with all the things they have done to make it appear as if its a high scoring game there were 
261 games that went over last year
238 games that went under last year and 5 that pushed the total

in gambling terms if you were to risk 110 to win 100 on each of these games 
You would have won 26,100
You would have lost 26,180
for a whopping total loss of 80.00 

You still have to handicap games, You can not just blindly bet the over and think you will cash.
One of my favorite methods has been if there are 2 weeks with a majority of overs coming in, Ill pound the unders the third week and vice versa

It really is getting unbearable to watch this crap with the flags. No way they will call the regular season like this.

I agree.. It really is BS these days.  I love the defensive game, but the NFL is all about offense now.  Go watch an old Bears game from the 80s, those were the glory days of NFL imo.  Its all about the offensive aspect.  Who gets most recognition?  the QB, WR's and RB.  No one cares about defense.  Its rediculous.  Any decent offense can pretty much score at will

Only time I will enjoy the longer games because of the crap is MNF when I can stay out later and drink more, other than that it is garbage

It's preseason fellas. I'm just going to assume you all lost a lot of money last year or already lost a lot of money this year lol. Just a wild guess
