I don't get it. The ball is back in play in under ten seconds most of the time.

my problem with the sport as a spectator is the all or nothing nature there's barely any marks of progress, you can go to take a piss and miss the only crucial 30 secs in a 1-0 game

Where as American Football is a strategic tug-o-war mixed with chess and everything builds off the previous play
True but the other side to that is scoring a late goal and winning. Individual points being more significant and having a bigger impact on the game = more drama imo.
