Still better than college football because you can be the 3rd best team in the sport and have a chance to play for a championship, unlike college where you play some other dissapointed team after a 6 week break in a neutral stadium with a lame atmosphere in order for your school to get some dough.

I don't even have to mention how the play is like 10x better and coaching as well. You can't just air it out all over the field on vanilla college D's with small corners and no tackling. Sometimes ya gotta pound the rock. Sounds like you just started watching football.

The play is 10X better? How do you figure? Running the ball up the middle 50 times a game is better? QB's not throwing the ball out of bounds instead of taking a sack because they have no brains is better? QB's trying to make passes into the end zone when it's 1st and goal and there is limited space and all the players are bunched up together so it's next to impossible to do is better? These PROFESSIONAL coaches and players can't come up with something better than that?

running side to side in the nfl just doesnt work consistently. very simply, offenses have a much better chance of moving the ball winning the battle right up front than they do trying to run toward the sidelines. defenses are way too fast on this level. all the spread nonsense works in college. but it doesnt work in the pros. average fan sees that are boring. but the average fan has no idea how good even the most mediocre nfl defense is.

Seems to me you lost on the Vikings last game.
I'm sure if you had the Packers, you wouldn't be saying this:lol:

These are HUGE generalizations about the game so I am not even going to argue this anymore. The quality of defense (speed/size/smarts) that the NFL possesses at all phases is being ignored here.

Football is so great because each game means so much, college even more so, thus the appeal.

I had the over on the game so it didn't matter because I won. I still feel that same way. I watch many games and I feel the same exact way.

obviously this guy lost some kind of bet that made him make this post...

No, it's not obvious I lost a bet and that's why I am posting this. You know what they say about people who assume things?

I have always felt this way about the NFL and that is why I like it the least out of the 4 major sports in America. I see it in every game and with just about every team. Always running up the middle and gaining no yardage as if that play is going to surprise the defense. A team can run that play 100 times and they might gain some substantial yardage 1 time out of 100. It's fruitless. Either the coaches are stupid for constantly calling dumb plays like that or the players are all stupid and the coaches all know they're stupid so they don't give them anything too difficult to handle. Either way, the game is a joke.

Usually you want to run the ball north to south primarily which is up the middle. Then sprinkle in a few pitches and sweeps. Usually the game is won and loss in the trenches. Smash mouth football. I love it.

So by posting your ticket this makes you some high roller and your argument credible? What a joke. Probably some fat gambler sitting on his couch mad at life.

Did you even read the whole thread before saying something stupid like you did? I guess not or else you wouldn't have said what you said. I posted what I bet on because someone foolishly said I wrote this thread simply because I had lost a bet on the game which wasn't true. To prove I hadn't lost anything on the game, I copied and pasted my betting ticket.

Its impossible to watch if you have a wager on a game, and try to

watch with a room full or fantasy players.
