If you care little as to the actual outcome you will be disappointed by how poor the football really is.
If the NFL was three downs you would also see plenty of blown coverages, turnovers, dropped balls etc. In three down football the ball is put in risk more often. More plays, more passes, more special teams. The rules make it more chaotic, not the athletes.
