    I had a little party at my house last night for the game but I realized half way through it that I really like watching the games alone because I like to pay close attention to it. I listen to the announcers and I rewind it a lot. How can I ever host another playoff game party?

    How do you guys enjoy the games?

    I'm the same way I turn down invites to go to bars with friends and peoples houses because I like to analyze the games and pay attention to every play. Most of my friends just talk, walk around miss half the plays, get up, go outside. I can't deal with that shit. I watch it alone.

    Same here. I can't stand it when I'm watching with other people and they make boneheaded comments because they know nothing about football. They overreact to every play and I just find it annoying during a game.

    Super Bowl excluded of course.

    I'm such a great people person...

    either by myself or with my buddy who I go to games with. I find if I watch games with people not passionate about the Jets or football I have to spend time explaining things or answering stupid comments. I don't want to talk about work during a game - just let me yell at the TV!

    I watch alone. I don't use the 38"HD TV, but use a 20" regular with the sound off (I'ts been good luck) because I hate almost all of the announcers.

    I hosted a party at my house so I Tivo'd the game and was able to re-watch the 2nd half of the game that I was unable to closely follow after all the guests went home. Usually I just watch the game at home rather then going out to a bar.

    I usually watch by myself. Regular season seems the couch asses team plays the same time as the JETS do. Not that I mind.

    I have a small sect of Jets fans I watch the game with. My best friends a Jets fan and just got a 65 inch with surround sound. He's had it since the Colts game. So that big fucker is good luck.

    You guys should form a group called "The NY Jets Fans w/ Aspergers syndrome fan club". You can meet at a bar and all ignore each other.

    That's funny dude!

    But, yeah, I definitely watch the games alone. I discovered years (okay, decades) ago that I find watching it at a bar or even with a few people extremely distracting and I just don't enjoy it as much.

    Plus, I'm less likely to hurts someone if I'm alone.

    The only Jets game I watched alone was the Jets-Patriots 2006 playoff game since I was in Bermuda on business. The closest bar was filled with Patriots fans, so I decided to watch it alone in my apartment there. Glad I did.

    I chase anyone who isn't gonna watch the game the way I am out of the room. Usually it's me and my bro and 3 dogs watching.
