What is your favorite or most anticipated part of the year in the NFL? Why?

The first game of the regular season...its during that game, that your going to get a read on your favorite team. In my case, it usually means that I am going to be in store for another season of dissappointment! Go Bears!

The playoffs for sure. Everything else, even the regular season, is just a buildup to the playoffs. The tension and excitement level of an NFL playoff game is unmatched in pro sports in America. Win or go home.

I would say the playoffs because even though it is the same game as the regular season, it just seems to be a different atmosphere. If your team is in it, you seem to be going crazy after every play. And even if your team is not in the Super Bowl, you still find yourself picking a team to cheer for and acting like they've been your favorite team for 50+ years.

That is my take :) ! The draft is cool but way too long to get so amped up over (Compared to a playoff game)

I like the last few weeks of the regular season. You can study all the playoff scenarios, and if your team is still in it, you can follow a lot of games that have an impact on them - makes it more interesting.

Bears in the regular season and playoffs(maybe) now that we've gotten Jay Cutler, and Matt Forte and Greg Olsen are going to have great years.

I like the playoffs. Most of the bad teams are gone, and it just keeps getting better every week. I think the championship games are usually better than the superbowls. More rivalry in the division.

i love the playoffs, but im going with the opening week of the regular season.

I love the Super Bowl, but the Draft is my favorite because it's always full of exciting picks and that's where most teams chose their future franchise players.

Well seeing i am a Minnesotan, all the drama unfolding around Favre is highly anticipated. If this fails it will be Childress' last year here, thank god, bu if it is a success than i guess we will have that lemon head another 3 years

The SB and it doesn't matter who plays. It is the one time of the year that a bunch of my close friends from when I was young get together and ALL hang out. Not one ever misses the get together. It is a long tradition we have that I look forward to each and every year.

Thumbs up to those who agree.
