Unpopular opinion, I don’t like NFL Network Redzone

The constant switching from game to game only to show a smattering of plays in the red zone feels disjointed and chaotic. I personally much prefer watching an entire drive or quarter from a game and seeing how the teams play.

Do you enjoy commercials?

No, and I get the appeal to some of Redzone. I just personally do not enjoy consuming football this way.

YoutubeTV’s 4-screen view is quickly becoming my favorite.

You’re not alone, but Redzone makes me very happy.

Same. I prefer to watch a whole game all the way through. Don’t really like flipping between games at all

I agree with you that it is an unpopular opinion.

Redzone is awesome.

If you aren’t focused on one team, it’s the best wrap around coverage of any league in sports. The only comparison to me is March Madness’ coverage.

I paused Hulu Live to try YouTube TV. I don’t like missing my shows to stream but YouTube TV is better across the board. Quad screen is awesome, especially on a secondary television.

Today is my first time watching red zone and I like it so far. It’s currently the best option I have right now.

It would be way better if Chris Hanson would STFU. Dude talks between 50% and 75% too much. People who are watching don't need his breathless backstory every time they switch to a game.

When they had to evacuate the studios last year and we got an hour of no Hanson - only the games - it was a taste of heaven.

I enjoy it, but I feel exhausted after the 1:00 games for those reasons.

Hanson is dam good at his job considering the pace of the action.

My only real complaint is when they have three or four games on at once and the audio makes it so you can't tell who is describing what.

Agree, that dude talks way too much.

I am switching between two games with a little RZ mixed in every once in a while.

I love the idea but in practice I hate this. It gives me a headache

I hear you but I'd much rather spent $11 extra for YouTubeTV's sports package (which includes Redzone) than spending over $300 on Sunday Ticket.

The commentary is the worst but I still prefer to stomach that as supposed to commercials
