Once the game is over and I know the outcome, I’m really only interested in seeing those who know the game better than me break it down farther than I can myself.

There was one time earlier this year where my wife was out during the 1pm showing, so even though I watched it already, I played it again at night as background noise while I answered some emails and she ended up thinking the game was on and made some snacks, and generally let me do my thing for 3 hours. I found a loophole but have been too fearful of her to try it again.

Watched it twice. Was a fun game to watch, will probably watch it again tonight.

I watch each game several times. Since I go to all the home games I immediately watch it again when I get home. So a normal home game at minimum I watch live then once recorded. Since I read Pat Kirwan’s book several years ago I do watch much differently now. The book is called take your eye off the ball. First time through I watch the lines, second time I watch the linebackers and the third I watch the receivers and backs. By that third time I have either mentally or physically charted the personnel for each play and I can pick out what the coverage was and why the play worked or didn’t work and what could have been done differently to make the play successful. Now of course I don’t know what the play calls and defenses were to put specific blame or kudos but through down and distance, who’s on the field. the route trees, and the result you have a pretty good idea. Yeah, I know that’s overkill. But it’s what I enjoy. Btw this is the book.

I didn’t get to see it. Been a rough week.
