Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Typhoon

Par4QC 80% of the teams in the NFL suck this year. Don’t know what happened but almost every game is awful and boring. The officiating is just as bad. I was never a huge college football fan but this year I turned myself on to it.

Typhoon in the last 10 yrs or so, I've become a big college FB fan. Probably because I'm a long suffering bears fan.

Typhoon I like the NFL a lot better than college football. The worst team in the league would destroy the best college team. Wouldn't be close.
Officiating is bad everywhere, in all team sports, are every level. You just have to learn to live with it. NFL refs may not be great, but they are a helluva lot better than college refs.

Use to be a big sports follower, but over the last several decades, I have lost interest for the reasons you mentioned +++. Now, my last bastion- golf - has been effected. What wrecked it all for me was the emphasis on $$$$$$.
Live with it. Nope. JMO.

rsvman2. Yea I always laugh when people would say Alabama would beat the Lions or somebody. Even a loaded college team only has maybe 10 guys who will make the NFL.

I never said anything about an NFL team playing a college team 🤷‍♂️…. That’d be dumb.

I like seeing completed passes, runs with positive yardage and quarterbacks that don’t look totally lost. I watch NFL games but this year I’m really tired of the mediocre to poor records of most of the teams facing each other.

The college games have a better pace, bang bang offense and play like there is something at stake.

I just want consistency when it comes to referee control of a game. Be consistent when it comes to both teams and both sides offense and defense.

garyt1957

Eguller. Same here. I still like the NFL but my Sundays don't revolve around it. I'll watch it if I'm home. Most times I only watch cause I go hang out with my Dad.
I hadn't watched basketball for years other than March Madness but actually watch a little NBA now that I started playing again. Never liked hockey and baseball is boring as is golf.
Older I get the less I watch

Subsonic

Yeah. Never really been a huge fan of professional sports...

I'm like every other fan. I really like the game (whichever) whether college or pro if my team is having a winning season. If they're loosing most of their games I don't like the game. Might as well be honest.

garyt1957

Typhoon I like college too. I especially like something like Army/ Navy where they're playing for love of the game, knowing they're not going pro.
What I don't like is the uneven talent of teams like Alabama and the majority of other teams. Many times acquired illegally

I can remember when there was a college all star game every year that featured a team of college all stars about to go to the NFL playing against the current NFL champion. Every once in a while the college kids (graduates) beat the NFL champions. They ended that series because it got difficult to get insurance for all the participants and the NFL didn't like their draft choices getting hurt before they could be signed and play for the NFL teams if I remember correctly.

colej I don't think they're that bad considering it often takes slow mo replays from 5 different angles to prove them wrong. It's a tough job.

When it comes to touchdowns and first downs I’ll agree. I’m talking about every play in the trenches or receivers in the open field. If you’re gonna call one team consistently, let’s call the other team as well. I don’t like to see the game come down to a critical play and now they’re gonna throw a flag for holding when clearly it’s been going on all game long. >!!<

Typhoon

garyt1957 Yeah, like Eguller said, my Sundays or any day don’t revolve around watching games. But this year watxhing like I always do, I’ve learned why people love college football so much.

Eguller

colej and now they’re gonna throw a flag for holding when clearly it’s been going on all game long.

Bingo. Big turn off. An offensive pass interference call is about as rare as pecan pie in the PappaD household. 🙄

Yea that's always going to be a problem because they could call holding on every play. The league would not like that. Maybe they should as it might clean things up.
On a much lower level I was just talking to a guy who refs basketball. He was saying how tough it is when they ref some lower level games as they try to let some things go or everything would be a foul or violation. The really hard part is doing that without favoring one team over the other.

I hope GB sits Rodgers and plays Love. Not sure if the injury will lead to it anyway, but I think he needs to sit.....and that run D......wtf happened. I get the O has left the D on the field for most the year and they are up against it, but sheesh they are a sieve!

Swiss cheese.......363 yards

Gees, I wonder if the bears can beat the pack next week? A collision of 2 sh*t teams, can't wait😭

DonM

propman I won't feel bad if the Packers win. I'm all in for the tanking at this point. And this might be the most likely possible win, but still unlikely, remaining on the Bears schedule. They won't beat the Eagles, Bills, Vikings, and probably not the Lions. Maybe the Vikings will be resting guys though, it's the final game.

Oh my, Lions are suddenly the second best team in the North.

The backup QB (Love) is an unknown at this point, right? If Rogers is benched, the Pack might be a better team.
