That means I missed most of the first half and parts of the third quarter. From what I did see, I enjoyed the game. Each team made and missed a field goal in overtime. It was compelling and a little funny.

I truly don't know what people want with the NFL anymore. I see people bitch about everything.

"This game didn't have enough points."
"This game had too many points."
"This game had too many interceptions."
"This game had too many catches."
"This game had too many runs."
"This game had too many missed field goals."
"I almost went blind watching last Thursday's game."
"This game was poorly produced."
"Phil Simms said 'Jeem' too many times."

This is not the only football forum I go on. All that above stuff I see. It is ridiculous. Nobody likes anything.

Well, the quality of football this year HAS seemed to be extraordinarily crappy and most of the Thursday night color rash uniforms ARE unsightly.

One of the reasons for the number of bad games has been the lack of flow caused by the number of ticky-tacky penalties brought on by the ever increasing number of silly rules. Pulling guys off the pile? Leaping? Are you kidding me? It just never ends.

I've been bitching and complaining about the number of penalties in CFL games for years and now the affliction has infected the NFL. Head referees in both leagues get more screen time than even the biggest star players. It's incredibly annoying.
