Anybody still watching? Or am I the only one? I'm even sure why I'm watching because seeing this is making me remember why I stopped watching the NFL years ago.

And they showed Elon Musk sitting next to Rupert Murdoch in the stadium :yuk:

Yes. I watch football. Pretty happy about seeing the Eagles rushing like in the CFL on short yardages plays.

Incredibly entertaining game!

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The game itself is pretty good. Football is fun. I just hate the NFL  :D

I watched the game.  Go Chiefs!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I watched the game. I had an awesome time, what a wonderful game.

And as a Washington fan I was not sad to see Philly lose.

I love football.

But other than some CFL games... this was the first NFL game I watched all year.

But it was an entertaining game.  Thoroughly enjoyed.   :)

Woke up at 3am to find the Eagles leading comfortably. Should have gone back to sleep  <_<

American Football would be a lot more fun to watch if a 1 hour game wasn't stretched into 3 hours with tons of downtime/ad breaks.

The commercials are horrible but the replays + analysis are awesome.

The Big 10 Network (and I'm sure others) will show replay of games with just the time with the play clock running.  It's unwatchable like that; football is a game of position the set ups and the penalties are needed in order to understand what's going on (and, as Yi says, the analysis and replays also do I good job of providing context.)  The commercials are too much, especially in big games like this (and even more so, for the Superbowl, if you don't get the US commercials,) but that could be said for all major American sports.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
