It is more exciting to watch NFL 90% of the time.... Know why? ALL THE GAMES ARE ON ONE DAY!

You have the option of choosing the best game to watch every week on one day. If the Pats are blowing someone out, you can change channels to a close exciting game. If the Riders are blowing out Winnipeg, you change to something else.

Since the CFL has so few teams, there is a good chance the game may suck on any given day (Similar to Monday Night Football, although they usually try to schedule great games)

Anyone who watched the Stamps/Esks game and tries to say NFL football is more exciting is full of it.

Lets look at these "Exciting" games from this weeekend:

Pitts 13, Titans 10 - First game, two GREAT teams. Low scoring but good! 7.5/10

Fins 7 Atl 19 - Fins got 1 DST TD! And Atl wasn't playing entertaining D. Doubt ANYONE watched this game who doesn't cheer for these teams... Even if you bet on em! 3/10

Broncos 12 Cincy 7. OMG I almost killed myself watching parts of this game. Unless every other game was on a commercial, and I didn't need a beer and had food, this game would never be watched. Amazing ending.... That was based on more incompitence. If this was you first NFL game you would probably quit watching the sport. 1/10

Vikings 34 Browns 20. Really was 34-13 and over early 3rd quarter. Adrian Peterson highlight were good though while I watched other games. Game 4/10, AP 11/10

Colts 14 Jags 12. Hey at least it was close so I had something to watch in the morning! Not great, but worth watching the 4th quarter. 6/10

Saints 45 Lions 27. I kept turning to this game, cause it's almost commical how easily Brees picked apart Det. 0-8 to start? Good chance. Entertaining, but pathetic. 2/10

Comboys 34 Bucs 21. One of the better games, despite the score. Bucs just don't have the horses this year. Still a blowout though. 5.5/10

Eagles 38 Panthers 10. Is there a rating below zero. And people make fun of CFL games? 0/10

Cheifs 24 Ravens. It was funny that the Chiefs got their first first down with 2 mins left in the half, and were only down 3. Stayed closed, but really..... You score a blocked punt TD, return an INT to the 5, don't turn the ball over and still loose by 14 and give up 500 yards....PATHETIC 4/10

Jets 24 Texans 7. Are the Jets that good or Texans that bad? Another game It pained me even to turn too. 3/10

Redskins 17 Giants 23. Was getting Edo and missed half of it. Score flattered the Skins from what I heard. No score avail.

49ers 20 Cards 16. Good game. Probably the most professionally played game of the day by both teams. 8/10

Rams 0 Seahawks 28. Anyone watch any of the second half? 2/10

Sure we didn't have the Pats or SD play yesterday, but I can honestly say I don't think there was more then 2 or 3 WATCHABLE games yesterday, let alone good. Can you imagine if only one or two of these games were on, and back to back? Well that's what happens in the CFL. If the only game on isn't good, you leave with the idea CFL sucks and the teams are incompitent. However, as evident yesterday, the NFL has just as many terrible games, but more to choose from!

(For the record I have Sunday Ticket and watch 10 hrs of football a week easily! I LOVE NFL! But lets not pretend the games are magically better!)
