I hate: whiny receivers who immediately jump up "throwing a flag" for interference;
defensive backs who celebrate an incompletion--and the next play giving up a long play or a touchdown;
a defensive lineman celebrating a tackle--and the next play the runner blows by him for a 5 yard gain for poetic justice;
players who hit instead of tackling--allowing the runner more yardage due to horrible fundamentals;
punting from anywhere on the opponent's side of the 50;

Just a few examples of actions that the football gods will reward in their own very noticeable way

The dead week in betweeen the Championships and the SuperBowl.

I would also like to add people at games who have absolutely no idea how to act--like not yelling when we are on offense and other simple rules of conduct

I absolutly HATE half of the personal foul/unecesary roughness penalties that get called. That personal foul penalty called on the Aaron Rodgers hit half way thru the fourth quarter yesterday made me absolutly sick. Another example I can think of is the MNF game against san diego. LeRon McClain caught a pass out of the backfield and the SD defender put his shoulder into LeRon's chest and got flagged for the penalty. You cant play defense anymore, which is why we almost seen FIVE 5,000 yard passers.

I have had people look at me like im stupid for hitting the seats in front of me and yelling as loud as i can every time the chiefs defense is on the field. Ive had people ask me to sit down so they can see. Lets just say thats not what i expected at chiefs games. i grew up hearing about how crazy and loud the fans were, and when i started making it to games on a regular basis (first game was '08 miami), i was pretty disapointed

I thought it funny with the Steeler fans we are yelling our lungs out and they are yelling right along with us cheering on their Steeler offense.

1. Fantasy football- Almost everything BAD about the game that's happened over the past 10 years is related to trying to 'make the game more popular' which really means they're pandering to fantasy football and...

2. Making defense illegal. Luckily the Giants/Packers game proved that all offense and no defense still ain't good enough.

3 Players who help up opposing players. Why are you helping out your opponent? You realize that guy is trying to take money out of your wallet and food off of your table?! He wants your kids to be homeless, and he wants to steal your wife! At least that's how players should look at each other during games. Every time a player has to pick himself up off the ground, he has to expend his OWN energy! By helping him up you are using your own energy and helping your opponent (who is trying to defeat you) conserve his own energy! You shouldn't help the opponent up... you should drive a knee into him or stomp on his hand or something. You know... while the refs ain't lookin'.

4. I hate that arrowhead is just another douchey stadium now, with the complete homefield advantage nothing more than a memory.

5. I hate that the most popular player in the NFL is a player who isn't even good.

I hate that the refs are the ones that review their own calls. It should come from upstairs like they do in College for two reasons.
1) It's faster
2) I still think some refs have to big of egos to admit they made the wrong call. I.e. McClusters "fumble" against S.D

[OctoberLady]

I hate it when refs get too flag-happy with the holding calls. Damn, let them play so we don't have to watch the game stop every 10 seconds.

I know this isn't a "hate", but I don't understand why people hate Tebow. He hasn't done anything to be hated. It's the media and his fans that keep wanting to blow him up larger than life. If you want to hate someone, hate them.

Exactly.

I don't hate Tebow for any reason other than being a bronco.

I don't blame the media either. Tebow is the most popular player in the NFL and his merchandise sales prove it.

I entirely blame the fans, largely made up of people who don't know a damn thing about football. They just love the brand.

Also, I hate Ray Lewis.

[SPC Hephner]

I was going to ask why you hate ray Lewis, but I am guessing it has to do with his off the field issues.

And you make a very good point about fantasy football, I never put those two together. I might just stop playing now

Yes. Ray Lewis was part of a group that beat and stabbed a man to death.
