What about the Packer/Cardinals game? Highest scoring game in playoff history going into overtime wouldn't fall into the snore category. But I do agree with your comment. Fortunately, I've missed most of these snore-fests. I also missed the Chargers/Jets game and tuned into the NFL Network to find out the result. As I watched the highlights, which was all Chargers through the first three quarter, I kept thinking "And the Chargers lost?" However, the result is to be expected when you blow all those scoring attempts.

Ya know, I forgot about that game probably because I stopped watching it after the Cards took that big lead early. I do the same thing during the Super Bowls. I get bored with all the commercials and/or the game is so one sided I end up doing something else. A lot of times I miss those great comebacks. Being a free agent fan I guess that's to be expected.

That was actually a pretty good game, the way the Packers rallied, and I felt it was kinda sad, the way they lost.

In any case, I liked watching the Vikings steamroll the Cowboys. That is one good team, though I feel it could've been a lot more exciting. In any case, Vikes vs. Saints next week should be great!

Well, compare that to baseball or golf, it's similar. The actual time the ball is in play is short, but more more significant than in nascar or soccer. Well, not in baseball I guess

Basketball probably has the action/signifance per minute. Tennis would, but there are lots of commercials in tennis too.

But the time between plays in football is usually spent on replays, talking about the game, watching the play be set up.

More cheerleader time would be nice though

It does make one question why you should waste 3+ hours sitting around watching 11 minutes of playing.

Heck, they don't need highlights, they need some show that just shows the actual plays, with all the time in between cut out. You could fit two full games in a half hour with commercials, or three in a full hour with plenty of replays.

And they should definitely have more cheerleader time.
