Most boring, mundane NFL season I can ever remember

[Boucher]

In other words, the NFL is just a 32 team version of the Big East.

ZIIIIIIIING

I think another part of it is that just about every primetime game this year has been a complete mismatch. SNF and MNF are the games that stick in one's mind and they've by and large been complete shit.

Nah, they won a SB before without anything more than they have now really.

The NE and GB defences are playing identical, hell on both sides of the ball statsically, it's really quite close.

Are we really playing that poor when we're playing the damn same as the defending champion, and team who's won for a straight year?

We don't need studs, those are for the Jets, who can't get over the hump with those studs.

:niggaplease:


Enjoy all the passing yards you fuds want, but we'll pick off 2 a game and put up 40. :dealwithit:

Please don't lump the pats and packers together LOL.

And lately our studs have gotten further then your squad of undrafted FA's in the playoffs. Ever since losing to the giants in the SB, what has the patriot way of developing a team exactly gotten you? Gronkowski and that's it?

Without a doubt, the most boring team in all of football, all levels, is the Jacksonville Jaguars.

I'm happy with this season since I am a Packers fan but it does seem that the lack of an offseason has contributed to extremely poor tackling and fundementals in the league this year. That and the new rules limiting practice time in pads during the season. You can only get better at something if you practice it under live conditions. That walk through crap gets you crap on Sundays.

I've noticed the same thing too........not a fan at all of limiting time in pads. As the NFL players don't have an easy enough time.

Might be my bias as a Redskins fan, but the only MNF game I've really enjoyed was the Redskins/Cowboys, well, and the Bears/Eagles game. Scheduling just didn't match up for those, and I wish there was some way to flex games earlier to get a better matchup on.

I don't see how you can blame the lack of fundamental tackles on the lockout.


Timing Yes? Miscommunication? Yes. But shouldn't tackle be a "like riding a bike" thing to guys that have made it all the way to the NFL.

Was like that last year for the most part as well.

As an Eagles' fan, it's tough to be enthusiastic.
I do agree, however, that the Packers are a boring undefeated team. No doubt, they're a damn good team, but that defence/defense simply doesn't cry out undefeated immortal team.
The passing record thing is boring, because none of these QBs would have come close to breaking it when Marino played. The rules and the offensive structure of the NFL are too passer friendly.

That is not the case at all, professionals need practice to keep their skills fresh. If you don't practice your craft you can't improve.

First five weeks of the season sucked. Since then it has been very enjoyable.

I just hope the Packers lose in the playoffs, I can't bear them winning again.

 

[MvP]

For the most part, I agree.

-The primetime games have been HORRIBLE. The most competitive Monday night game I can recall off the top of my head was Ravens/Jaguars and that game was very boring. Not to say that I didn't enjoy watching Green Bay put a beating on Minnesota a few weeks back but it's not like I got much excitement out of it.

-New York Jets football has been literally unwatchable for me this season for one reason alone: Mark Sanchez. Unfortunately they are on television every week here, so it would be nice if they had a decent quarterback to make these games interesting.

-I expect the Green Bay Packers to win every single game by a large margin. They have, for the most part, reached my expectations every week, and it's really just getting boring at this point. I haven't been overly excited about a Packers game since Week 1, as there really hasn't been any "big games" on the schedule.

To compare, last season was amazing because I knew this team had the talent to be the best in the league but it took until the playoffs for them to finally reach that potential. It was frustrating, but also exciting and refreshing to watch this team overcome injury week in and week out while somehow finding ways to improve and build chemistry. Now that they have reached their potential, watching games has turned into an ordinary routine: turn on game, expect excellence, see excellence, go on with my day.

You know this season has been boring when you run into a fan of a rival team and his response to you is "man, I can't even say anything about you guys. Enjoy the Super Bowl."

I really can't complain though, because soon enough I'll be wishing to have a season like this again.

Also, a big reason as to why the Packers 11-0 start has been boring and a bit under the radar is because, unlike the Patriots in 2007, I feel as though nobody is dying to stop them from going undefeated. By 07, the Patriots were an organization that was hated throughout the country for their success, while on the other hand, GB is one of the most respected franchises in the league, led by a very likable quarterback with a roster void of primadonnas and/or criminals.

-I also agree with the point made earlier about some of the top teams record-wise being mediocre. I can't see the Raiders, Bengals, Texans, Lions, Bears, or Falcons making any noise in the playoffs, but we'll see.

There are certainly some positives to this season, though.

-I haven't watched my team lose a game since 2010 (jinx)

-The Tebow-led Denver offense has been refreshing to watch. In a league where three quarterbacks are on pace to break the single-season passing yards record, it's great to see a team win games in an unorthodox fashion.

-Firstrowsports. For the first time ever I'm on pace to watch every single Green Bay game this season.

I'm also very grateful to say I've watched every snap of Packer football this year. Fuck the NFL's draconian broadcasting rules. I'm really supposed to watch the Cardinals every week?

It's the main reason why I find CFB saturdays to be more entertaining

Different Offenses being ran from game to game (for the most part)
Usually at least a few key matchups to enjoy
Refs are generally less flag happy and seem to ruin less games
Storylines kinda create themselves from week to week

 

[Primetime]

Even as a Packers fan, games get boring. It's not as fun to win when it's all you do. Sure that sounds arrogant, but it's true. First game of the year was great against the Saints, the Bears games are always fun, and watching them absolutely dominate the Lions on Thanksgiving was a blessing. Other than that....meh.

Watching Rodgers play QB and then trying to watch other passing games is like a chore. He's on pace or close to beating almost every major passing record which is fun I guess.

Best part of the season so far is hearing the Go Pack Go chant in opposing stadiums. Seems like GB fans are just overpowering the home team fans whenever they're on the road.

 

[Bear Pand]

I dont need any storylines to make the season interesting to me, i love football and enjoy every single week of it.

This is true. Season has been ass for me because my team is 0-11 not because of a lack of storylines or any other inane shit like that.

 

[Jagsfan61]

you guys wanna watch an exciting fucking game, tune in to the jaguars each week....

I can see what w2btd is saying, but like pizza and sex, even when its bad its still good.

 

[RosettaStoned]

A lot of things that faggot Rodger has done is starting to ruin the game. It's only going to get worse.

Not when they change the rules on you, and you have to worry about getting fined every time you breath on another player.
