There have not been a lot of good football games this year…like at all. The Jets/Bills week 1 stands out (which was more entertaining than actually good football but I’ll count it), Eagles/Commanders a few weeks ago was pretty great but like…I gotta rack my brain to find any real memorable games. There’s been so much bad offense, bad reffing, and just total blowouts it’s hard to even get invested in RedZone some weeks, let alone full games.

And with this kind of play it starts to make the bad stuff less forgivable like the insane amount of commercials and ridiculous reffing that stops what feels like every game at some point dead in its tracks. I’ll never stop paying attention, none of us will, but NFL Sundays are starting to feel less fun and more like an obligation.

I’ve watched more NFL games this year than I typically do over a full season. I don’t know why.

What really stands out to me is just the number of fucking penalties. The NFL sucks dude. It’s every god damn play. It’s to the point where if there’s a 10+ yard pass, the second the play ends my shitty eyes go straight to the clock, waiting to see if the yellow FLAG box shows up. Spoiler alert: it does.

The Vikings/Packers game on Sunday was a hysterical comedy of errors. Probably the best 3 hours I’ve had in a long time. Just two intensely mediocre teams playing even worse than usual in front of a wildly indifferent stadium. It was a riot, man. It had missed kicks, terrible play calls and fumbles, and more penalties than you’d believe. The Packers didn’t get a first down until there was like 3:00 left in the first HALF hahahaha.
