10 minutes to play one minute

An NFL game takes over three hours to play with about 10 minutes of actual action,

 

My heart rate at the game hit 160 per my watch. Lol.

 

I was rushing out to play in my hockey team's play off game but I couldn't leave with the game on the line, Gators pulled it out and so did my hockey team making it a wonderful day, those last few minutes took forever!

 

I thought it was total bullshit if you ask me. Plus 3x putting tenths of a point at the end 3x within like 11 seconds. I didn’t like the end. I have been generally happy with calls until second half of this game. I know I know because we were close but the dagger was the Martin o-board dunk but with like 3 possession win with under 12 seconds gimme a break.

 

Refs constantly stopping play to correct time clock. This is one reason why games aren't over by the time the next ones are supposed to start.

 

I really don’t like the way most close games end with free throws and replays in basketball. It’s like having to watch a FG kicking contest and wait for refs to review every play in a close football game.

 

Of all reviews, the clock is the most frustrating to me by far.

Every review alters the original call on the floor, which indicates the floor calls are consistently inaccurate. Either find a way to make the calls more accurate on the floor or just stop reviewing and accept the limits of human refereeing (maybe consider giving teams limited challenges).

Beyond slowing the game down significantly, it gives the trailing team an advantage by providing free timeouts to setup their press.

 

"But since we have the technology available, it's only right that we take every step to get the calls and the clock absolutely correct. After all, the players have worked so hard, we don't want to penalize them. Mollifying our new 'gaming partners' and protecting the officiating crews' backsides are absolutely irrelevant to the discussion."

 

Well said.

 

It takes me 10 minutes to walk my dog one minute.
