I'll never understand the love for football. They legit play like 12mins of the game. It's like playing a bad turn-based RPG and the ATB fills up like in Final Fantasy IX

That whole "12 minutes" thing ignores the fact that stuff goes on between plays.

No, part of playing football happens between the plays, too. You can ignore that fact all you want, but you're just being willfully ignorant.

I'm waiting until I get the courage to talk on the mic for YouTube, and then I'm going to do some pro wrestling reviews. I already have the whole thing planned out, I just lack the nerves.

Both sides of the ball are making presnap adjustments and trying to deceive each other.

The only reason we have plays and downs is because we're too stupid to have continuous games like rugby or the real football, soccer.

Sponsors would get angry.

Offense:
Motion
  • One or more players can move to a different position, which potentially changes defensive coverage assignments or requirements
Snap count
  • The timing of when the ball snaps changes depending on what the QB wants each play. This is used to keep the defense from knowing exactly when the play starts.
  • Also, a hard count is often used to make defenders jump offsides in crucial situations. If successful, it can change the outcome of the game in certain situations.
Hot routes
  • QB reads the defensive coverage before the play and may tell a receiver to run a different route based on that.
Audibles
  • QB tells the offense to change to an entirely different play, and can sometimes even change the formation entirely before the snap.


Defense:
MLB reads the QB
  • Even with a planned defensive play in mind for the group as a whole, the middle linebacker can tell the defense what to do on the fly. Depending on what he thinks the QB is doing in the items mentioned above, he may change the coverage types or change the defensive play altogether.
Coverage/Blitz show/fake
  • Show a blitz: This is when a defender creeps toward the line of scrimmage to reduce the amount of time it takes for him to get to the backfield if he's blitzing
  • Fake a blitz: This is when a defender creeps toward the line of scrimmage as if he's blitzing, but then drops back into coverage when the play starts. If the QB falls for this, he may make a bad throw and possibly an interception.
  • Blitz disguise: A defender may pretend to be assigned to cover an offensive player pre-snap, but blitz once the ball is snapped.
  • Coverage disguise: Players in man-to-man coverage will typically line up right in front of the player they're assigned to defend against and keep their eyes on the player. Man-to-man coverage means the defender tries to stick with his assigned offensive player through the course of the play. Players in zone coverage will typically give a cushion between themselves and the defender and only defend a certain area of the field. In zone coverage, a defender may be responsible for defending against multiple offensive players, depending on where the offensive players move to on the field during the play. A disguised coverage is when the defense either makes their formation/actions look like they're going to be in man-to-man or zone, but they're actually going to switch to the opposite coverage type during the play. If the QB reads wrong pre-snap, this can result in a bad throw or interception. Defenses can also try to disguise whether they're in cover 2, 3, or 4 by their formation in order to make the QB think a certain area of the field will typically be safe to throw into when it isn't.

jesus christ NFL. how is your plan to make the bills play on Tuesday and Thursday?

the NFL is 7 years older than the tv. The reason we have stoppage is so every play can be given full effort with your stars playing every snap. As well as the strategic advantages of a stop and start point creates.

Also, stop pretending that all the down time is actually a good thing. Necessary, sure, but from a spectator point of view it's boring and breaks up the pace of the game too much. Only baseball is worse.

If the players could handle it, no huddle the whole game would be much more exciting.

The Oregon Ducks used to do that when Chip Kelly was the coach and the Eagles did it for a while when Chip Kelly became their coach.

Thank you, @CableZL

That still make it boring AF to watch for me, but I guess that's because I have zero clue about what plays are going to get run and stuff.
