I HATE the NFL Network
I was looking forward to this Sunday. I really was. All of those 7-8 teams in the NFC vying for the last playoff spot meant tons of drama today. Instead, the whole thing was decided last night when the Giants beat the Redskins. I’m not at all pleased that the Giants got the spot, but I’m really upset that it was decided on Saturday night instead of on Sunday afternoon. It would have been much better if all the games were going on at once so that all of the games would at least seem to have significance. These Thursday and Saturday night games need to stop.

Plus, it would really suck to have tickets to a Thursday night game imo. I left early from the Monday night game, and I still got home at about 3am. Seeing extra games is not worth losing the drama of Sunday.

I just couldn’t stand to watch anymore after the Bears returned a second kick for touchdown.
