Not sure what it is, less commercials? but so far thru week 1 and tonight, games seem to be right about 3 hours and seem to be going by much faster than previous few years. What were they averaging, like 3 1/2 hours? Refreshing. Love football, love NFL, but hate more than 3 hours for one game.

They've gotten rid of a few commercials. Specifically after kickoffs and in a few other spots.

I knew after kick offs. Is that all it is contributed to? You notice it?

Did people actually watch that game last night?

I saw the score and just laughed. What an awful product.

I certainly did. I don't need, nor, want the score to always be 44-35. I enjoy a pitchers duel too.

I didn't notice anything else but the commercials being reduced.

They should eliminate XP's completely though. Just make it a TD is worth 7pts unless you wanna go for 2, then it can be worth 6 or 8.

Just a completely pointless play that adds nothing to the game.
