Message: [QUOTE="ForCuseSake, post: 2713307, member: 266"] While I don't have a 50+ year tenure watching NFL (I'm in my early 40s) I've experienced the same diminished excitement in the last 5 years of NFL viewing. Mine is one part predictability, as you describe above, and two parts stoppages (primarily rampant replay reviews and penalty flags). The NFL tries too hard to legislate behavior on the field to the point it's become a boring set of referee interpretations, video replays with a handful of elite QBs. I applaud their effort to increase player safety but at some point you have to just call it what it is - an extremely violent game played by massive humans who frequently get injured. [/QUOTE]
