Length of the game

Unread post by bigdaddyg » Sun Sep 08, 2019 7:28 am

The game, aside from our defensive issues was entertaining but WAY too long. Obviously we have to endure the television time outs but the constant play reviews are brutal. Some of them seemed like no-brainers and still took several minutes to complete. I love me some App and football games but they last too long.

The penalties alone added an hour. The fourth quarter was a brutal flagfest.

We had an incompetent officiating crew that drug the game out longer. Seriously, the refs were morons.

I felt like we were being punished for giving them a construction trailer for a locker room. We need an RV dealership to park a deluxe motor coach up next to the NEZ for the refs. Surely someone would "lend" us one for the advertising exposure? Trying to think outside the box here

I had dinner at 10:35 when I got back to Greensboro via the Mountaineer Express. At least a few fast-food restaurants were open between the Greensboro Depot and McLeansville.

We had more commercials, officials discussing the play just a slow game. it was like being at a variety show and once in a while they would play football.

There were so many scores in the game, which meant more changes of possession and time outs on the field.
Give 'em hell!

I just hope all of the TV timeouts actually had a commercial for someone as I see as much of a generic "Commercial Break" message as I do actual commercials. If they are not going to show commercials they need to make the media timeouts shorter. Maybe the radio stations are airing 2 full minutes of commercials at every break.

Not to hijack the thread, but these are the kind of games I point to when football only fans say that soccer, golf, or baseball are boring. By its nature, football is a very stop and start game. With the advent of replay this has become even more true. It’s why I can’t watch the NFL anymore. It’s boring! There’s 5 minutes of standing around and replay for every one minute of in-game action.

We're they Sun Belt? I sure hope we don't draw them again if they are.

I got home to Myrtle Beach about 1:30 AM. I can normally get home by 12:30. Whatever the problem, it costed me an hours sleep as I had to get up at 8:00 to get to the church I am pastor of to preach at 10:00. My afternoon nap was good though....:)
