I swear, half of the plays in the games I watch have a penalty. It just kills the flow of the game seeing a flag all the time, it feels like games back in the 00’s were not like this.

    Nah, I enjoy it less as a casual fan because there are fewer marquee games for some reason. Maybe the 2nd half will have more. As a 49ers fan, it’s the same level of enjoyment. Maybe I’m getting older though too, unfortunately or fortunately I have more interests outside of spending Sunday/Monday watching football. Although this weekend and Monday I caught a bunch of games lol.

      I live in Arizona so now that the oppressive summer heat is finally over, I’m trying to spend weekends outdoors. Watching the NFL is a lower priority in my life, though I do enjoy a lazy Sunday watching Redzone from time to time.

      But this year I admit the non marquee games between terrible teams has been far more amusing than expected. Sometimes it’s the shitshow games that provide the most entertainment. Jets & Raiders (second half anyhow) was a good example of it. The drama for games like that turns into “How will Zach Wilson fail his team tonight?”
