I'll give you credit for knowing more about this than I do. This was the only football game I watched this year.

Heh, that's crazy. Just don't like it all that much?
I like football when I watch it. Just don't have a team. My dad was way into football.
I think I'll try to follow the Chargers and the Bears next year. I lived in both San Diego and outside Chicago and the Bears were my dad's team.
It's just hard for me to get into a sport when I don't have any emotional attachment to the outcome.

Oh man, you're in luck.
It's actually really fun not having a team that you are emotionally attached to.
I'm an absolute crazy person about the Jazz and the Utes. It's like they are a part of me. With the NFL I can just watch the games and enjoy the sport. I genuinely look forward to NFL games, and no matter the outcome I'm never freaking out like with NBA games.
PS: IMO you can't just all the sudden be a true fan of a team. I know it's kind of an A-hole thing to say, but to me the only true fans are people who grew up in the town of the team they are rooting for and have never not rooted for that team. It's not possible for me to stop being a jazz fan, but some dude from Ohio or some **** that just randomly decided, "hey, I'm a Jazz fan now!" can bail at any time. It's cool he's a fan, but he'll never know how I feel, and if the Jazz ever won a Championship he wouldnt experience the same emotions as me.
Basically what I mean is, don't try and force yourself to be a fan of a team, Youll have way more fun if you just get into the sport itself. I know you didn't like fantasy basketball, but you should play fantasy football. If Fantasy Basketball is like poker fantasy football is like roulette. Its soooo much fun, and nothing like the amount of strategery that can be involved in fantasy basketball.
on the app. square bizness.
I agree with you 100% that I will never be a true fan of any football team...unless Utah gets an NFL team.
But it's hard for me to watch because I don't know anything about the character of any of the teams and I don't know any of the players. So, I figure I'll pick a couple teams to follow and root for. For me the natural teams (I have no idea at all how good these teams may or may not be) are the Bears and the Chargers. So I can get my feet wet by learning a little bit about those teams and their players and by watching them I'll start getting to know the rest of the league. It probably sounds weird to try to get into watching a sport that I'm perfectly happy not watching at all, but I do like football. My dad always said he was a member of the Church of the NFL, as he religiously spent every Sunday worshiping it. He was way into football.

The first time I heard the announcers say, "Peyton Manning told us he is not going to throw at Richard Sherman" that was my thought too. If that's the case, they were playing scared. He did actually throw at him a few times, but still, if you're Mr. 5000 yard MVP and that's even floating in your brain....something's wrong to me.
Seattle's D is exceptionally good but the Broncos were not out matched. They just laid a giant egg.

Nope. Inferior team.
Looking at the final score, probably both. I would be surprised if any NFL team is naturally 35 points better than any other NFL team, week-in and week-out.

Agreed, just pointing out it's outrageous to say your team laid an egg when they played a vastly superior team.
If they play 10 times, seahawks win 8. Seahawks defense is perfectly built to beat the Bronos.
Bronos were a good team and had a great season, just matched up in the SB with the worst team possible for them.

Also i remember broncos running the ball on 3rd and 10 multiple times and punting when they should have been going for it on 4th down.
I thought they were playing like they were scared

They ran one draw play on 3rd and long, a play that either comes off as "genius" or "moronic" depending on whether or not it works. I'll trust that the guy getting paid millions of dollars to decide these things thought it was a play that would give the bronos a better chance to win and wasn't just scared of winning or something like that.
I dont remember a time they should've gone for it on 4th down and didnt. Remember, they were very aggressive in going for it on 4th down right before half instead of settling for a FG.
