Watching "real" football.

It makes it more exciting for people who want to see scoring on every possession but there are some of us who remember "real " football. The Ravens or the 85 Bears who were two of the all time great teams probably wouldn't have won a SB if they had the same rules today. If you aren't old enough to remember great defensive teams then I apologize but the NFL has stolen that part of the game.

Amen.  They've gone to far on the offensive side.  I think the early 2000s was a great era.  You couldn't mug WRs anymore, but you could still play defense, and you could still lay the wood.  It was the perfect combo for me....offenses could score, but defenses could still play.  It's like a video game these days.  Not a fan.  Actually, now that I think about it, the late 80s up through the early 2000s was pretty good football.
