Am I the only one who despises night games?

[PittPatriot]

I like the electricity and excitement of a highly anticipated night game. I’m not gonna lie to you, my first thought as my eyes open at 5:40 AM today was, “it was stupid to stay up late and watch that that debacle.”

 

[IcyPatriot]

Apparently the Miami fans hate night games also - the stadium looked half empty.

 

[VegasGuy]

Agreed. Kickoffs past 8pm for east coast teams are brutal.

I don’t see what’s wrong with 7-7:30pm kickoffs.

Hello, don't forget the people on the west coast.

4:00 start? I barely made it home for the start of this game at 5:30.

You deserve scorn for this comment!

IMO all NFL games should not start no later than 4:00 PM on Saturday or Sunday..

If you live on the west coast figure out a way to deal with it, us on the east coast have been dealing with it for decades now..

I love em.

The night games start for me at 9:30pm (Atlantic time zone) so it's normally close to 1am before it's over. I planned to be off today anyway but some of those mornings when I wake up it can be rough. Of course it's easier to deal with when they win.

Night games are not my favorite, even worse when they are on ESPN. I don't know about you guys, but Jon Gruden annoys the hell out of me. Not to mention, I really don't like Scott Van Pelt either.

630 kickoff here in the Mountain Time Zone is great. I have no idea how I used to stay up and make it to work back in the day when I lived on the east coast. I couldn't do it now.

I like that they exist, but I hate when the Pats have to play them. Hate the wait, don't care for staying up, and sometimes I have trouble getting to sleep after one.

That's quite a sacrifice, hope you didn't break any speed limits en route. Do they have DVRs where you live?

I like the 830 kickoffs. Mind you, I think the time zone you're in, when you have to wake up, and also your age probably has a lot to do with kick off time preference.

I got work during the day if its a MNF game, and am usually out and about during the day on Sundays so SNF games are almost preferred esp when its a highly anticipated match up.

I didn't mind it when I was living in Arizona. It sucks ass here, especially when we lose.

 

[JarOfMayo51]

I'm not fond of them...




...especially the next day.

Especially the next day... after a loss

So glad Thursday night has been moved to Sat like they used to,post College Football season.

Back before 24 hour sports networks and cable this was a great way to double the games you see in a week and often teams you never really got locally.

Losing night games sucks. If we win, somehow it doesn't seem so bad. Homerism at its best.

 

[brdmaverick]

I was thinking 2015

ya, in terms of style of game 2015 was most similar to last night.....where the offense could barely get anythign going

In 2004 the Pats actually looked quite good. They just fell apart at the very end.

 

[brdmaverick]

I love night games..........especially Saturday Night Divisional games.

I love night games..........especially Saturday Night Divisional games.

I lloooovveeee Saturday night games, then I get to have a couple beers or a nice whiskey while i watch and helps me be less stressed out lol

I don't like to have even a single beer or glass of wine tho if I have to work the next day

 

[VegasGuy]

O

Of course I do but it's not the same.
