The NFL is a person to the TV deals

Matt Ryan takes a time out....commercial.  Roddy White TD...commercial.  Kick off...commercial.  3 plays, 8 minutes of commercials. 

The prime time games are an absolute disgrace.  You can't get into the game because of all the commercials.  The last 2 minutes of the half are the worst with the booth reviewing absolutley everything they possibly can to generate as many commercial breaks as possilble.

Makes me sick.

Not enough scoring or change of possession so they have to maximize.

Atlanta needs to work clock so they keep the ball out of GB's hands.

It drives me crazy too.

absolutely horrilble and a slap to the face of nfl viewers.... atlteast this game has a great pace to it..... last sunday with jets ravens was eye gougingly slow.... in one instance, it took 45 minutes to play from the 2 minute mark of the first quarter to the 8 minute mark of the 2nd quarter..... 45 minutes for 9 minutes of playing time!!  it was ridiculous..... the whole game took well over 4 hours....

sunday football = tivo time!

we need to start a facebook boycott page or something until the NFL listens and quickens the pace of these games....

say what you want about soccer or rugby....atleast both sports have a great pace to them without being bogged down by tv comercial timeouts.....

what makes me just as sick is that i am wasting my time watching this comercial fest because i have a bet on this game.....

if it wasn't for degenerates and drunks who don't realize how slow this game is actually going, the nfl would get alot more complaints lol...

I find it funny that MLB was so slow to put video replay in to review home runs because they didn't want to slow the game down.  I wish Bud Selig would talk to Roger Goddel.  The NFL abuses replay to an embarassing extent.  The fact that it is so much worse on prime time games is a glaring stain on the league. 

Bob69 - agreed, that Jets/Ravens game was a cure for insomnia with the pace of play.

I remember reading an article about someone from the network sending a message to Jack Del Rio when Jacksonville was playing a prime time game last year, asking him to use his timeouts when he was trying to run out the clock in the 4th quarter so they could squeeze in a few more commercials.  Disgusting.
