Anyone ever try to watch every game in a season?

Never tried to watch every game in the season but what I have done in recent offseasons is look to see what the best games of each week were of the last season and watch them on Gamepass. 

I find I've always missed games that deserve a watch, mainly because I'm watching my teams and you don't get a chance to see others. It's a great way to watch football when there's no actual football on.

The condensed games on Gamepass made this possible. On the old app you could download condensed games and then watch them offline. 

I used to have over an hour on the train each way to work, so I got through most games during the week, either watching on a Sunday, or during the week when I was on my way to/from work.

Its not really a question of whether you can do it, it's more a question of whether you want to. Some of the games later in the season are almost unwatchable.

I totally agree with this. Some games are awful, I'd much rather re-watch some of the others.

Then they either changed things or I'm just remembering it wrong. Admittedly, I haven't even attempted to watch any condensed version since after they first added it  years ago because it seemed like something was missing. Watching the game was never the same to me. I just went back and picked a random game (KC/9ers) and even skimming thru it I see that they still don't show alot of the replays or the refs calls. Things like this are important and takes away from the game itself without it. 

It does skip replays. Ive noticed it skips some minor penalties (like false starts or encroachments when it's obvious). But it doesn't skip plays. 

I agree it's harder to watch. It takes more concentration.

I'll watch 2-5 games a week depending on how busy I was that week. But really there's no point to watching every single NFL game plus that would just be....god I can't imagine committing 750+hours of my life to football in a 4 month period.

I usually watch every Raider game and maybe 4-5 other games from the week that were close. However, I really wanna take up the challenge of trying to watch every game. With a full time job, watching every 3 hour game is nearly impossible because it'd be around 750 hours of footage. Just think 750 Game of Thrones Episodes in a 4 month period. Although NFL Game Pass and Sunday Ticket offer 30-45 Minute condensed versions. No commercials, ball is always in play. Not counting your own teams games, this brings you in at 125 hours. Still a huge time commitment but doable. If you watched an average of 5 hours every day off you had throughout the season, it would be accomplished. Anyone ever attempt this? It's always something ive wanted to do but get discouraged after learning who won/what the final score was.

Was thinking about making a thread with a review/grade on each game and each teams performance. Would anyone be interested in that? Although it'd be a huge time commitment and may have to waive the white flag at some point.

I know it would be difficult, but Game Pass has that spoiler feature where it doesn't display the final score of the games. If you watch them on Sunday and are able to avoid scores it would definitely be possible.

I work Sunday mornings at a casino where like 30 TVs of football are in my face.

I've watched the 1st half (condensed version) of every preseason game for week 1 already.  I think I've watched the Bengals first preseason game about 4 times already.  

Granted I'm doing work on my laptop while it's playing in the background.  So my focus isn't 100% on it (or my work)...

God no.  Every single game?  You mean, including the Browns and the Jags?  I'd rather watch every single episode of honey boo boo.

I would take the Browns vs the Jags in a 6-3 triple overtime game on repeat for the rest of my life before I willingly watch just about any reality TV.

C'mon, son. It's football.

Realistically, I will simply turn off the TV and go find something else to do.
