Redzone is cancelled

Good news.

Let's hope the bookies don't go back to the old market setups

Superb news. SOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY

good , it was rubbish

They should use it in the same way as they did in Week 14. They still had their two full games, but in the half etc, and if a game finishes early they can move around and pick up this action elsewhere.

just put it on the red button as many have said.

They won't put anything on the red button ever again for ad sales reasons. They have a tiny audience as it is, providing a red button option means that tiny audience goes 7 hours without seeing an ad.

right decision

no more than 2 interesting games at 6 in the last 2 weeks anyway

How they managed not to pick the 9ers game is beyond me. Unless there's a surprise tonight Jets/Bears is going to be borderline meaningless.

I'd find it hard to get excited about an NFC West matchup, no matter how important the game

The division has been utterly awful this season and 7-9 could yet win it

I know I'm in the minority that prefers redzone (Though it's a bigger minority nationwide than on here, which surprises me), but I do think people would rather see a match that matters if they're watching a match all the way through.

Jets/Bears might just be pointless (Again, assuming it actually is irrelevant.... maybe they could have decided having seen tonight's result) and all the arguments about the cut and thrust of the game will be lost anyway.

The Jets are 14th on Weighted DVOA and the Bears are 20th. Now admittedly the NFC West teams are all below that (9ers are 21st), but I don't think the very slight increase in skill level justifies picking a pointless matchup (Again, should the Bears blow it tonight, I have no issues with the decision at all)

Don't mind either way myself as long as I get my beloved Sunday evenings viewing as per the norm , slight advantage for me last night in that I always have the red zone on anyway on the laptop whilst watching the live game on Sky but last night gave me the opportunity to do the same but the added bonus of selecting my own live game on-line.

Yeah

It was terrible, as an earlier poster said, it should be used at half time or when a game finishes early, it was a poor substitute for a game.

I liked Redzone, and anyone who didn't is wrong.

Now, when's secret Santa?

rz itself is not bad, but skys presentation of it was terrible

It wasn't bad, but Sky's relentless over-hyping of how good it was supposed to be didn't exactly help.

I liked it (though the ad breaks were poor).  6pm redzone. 9pm and 1am games.  MNF. 3 live games a week + redzone.  Lovely.

Much preferable than fanatsy football banter in the studio

No problem with doing both mate tbh , plenty of good streams or RZ in the background whilst watching a live game as well , we've never had it so good 

Big NFL fan for nearly 32 years watched 1st ever games on Ch4. I love being upto date on what is happening in each game and watching it on NFL.COM, the Red Zone is just bad IMVHO, far to much like a video game when watching a Full NFL game is like a fine wine.

Think SKY made a rick with Red Zone and glad to here they have gone back to old format of 2 live games, honestly think they should spend a bit more time thinking about what match ups to put on each week. I am Redskins fan but would be quite happy to watch Texans every week, always going to get a game lots of big plays, high score and big turn arounds. That said a dour World War 1 attrional warfare game like Steelers V Ravens can be just as fun.

RZ piss pootcry:]

Liked Redzone, particularly knowing there was a full couple of games after.

Let's be honest the laugh-an-hour buddy-buddy banter between Kev, Ceeecil and Nick has worn thinner than Bobby Charlton's hair.  Their virtual diappearance for three hours last week was a joy.

EVEN THEY WERE BETTER THAN THE RED ZONE.
