    OT: MNTB (This ain't football anymore)

    Watching tonight's game on Monday..

    This isn't football anymore guys. This is Tecmo Bowl.

    I propose that we rename the product as such...example it's not MNF it's now MNTB.

    I know I am old school but I miss football.

      We are only a half game away from the top seed now! Honestly I was hoping for OT.

          The tens of thousands of fans at the Coliseum would disagree.

          This is what the next generation of fans wants. Non stop action. The NFL is simply responding to the demand signal of their customers

            My son played defense in lacrosse. The San Antonio Spurs won championships with defense. The Steel Curtain made us who we were, and Troy P, Big Snack, Diesel and all those other defensive superstars got us our 5th SB too. Derek Jeter is way closer to my heart than A-Rod.

            I love defense, in every sport. I'm really sad about what the NFL has turned into.

            If we don't win the SB this year, I hope it's because the Bears did. They've got a great defense. That would really p*ss the NFL off!


            We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!

            HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

                  We inch closer and closer to NBA scores every week.

                  It's annoying.

                  Seems like every game comes down to the wire. You can be down 2 TDs with a few minutes left and still have a reasonable shot at winning.

                  Why bother watching most games? You can watch the final minutes which is where most games will get decided.

                  We took the violence and hitting out of the game. I guess that's good. But it's kinda like taking punching out of boxing. That's the sport.

                  Oh well. We can hang on and watch our team, but to me, I don't even care about most other games.

                  Had no interest in KC vs LAR. Seems like a snoozefest to me.

                  Non Steelers games feel like a complete waste of time.

                  I think the only people that watch like fantasy football.

                  Even watching college football is a chore. How many times can I watch someone like Alabama blow out scrubs or even good teams. Most good teams don't play anyone.

                  Sports in general feel like they are in a rut these days.

                    Wow... just got done watching this one on replay... a mixed bag for sure... but it appears to me that both teams are beatable at this point.

                      I can’t even remember the last time that the NFL implemented a new rule that favored the defense.
                      Obviously the standard is the standard.

                        That game was boring. 105 points which is the most in 779 Monday night games?

                        Cmon.....


                        However, to the credit of the defenses, I think their were 3 defensive scores. So they did do something. Lol.

                          Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Fun game to watch but it was also disturbing. Felt like I was watching Big 12 football....last team with the ball wins.

                              not sure w\ho announced the game, but these guys were F 'in pathetic.
                              the one guy made it sound like every single thing was the greatest ever. another guy stumbled thru trying to explain the game while the 3rd guy had a hard time putting a sentence together
