Last night was one of the latter, not one of the former. Most fans don't like watching quality defense, I guess. Exactly. It's the curse of fantasy football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fashion they do it in. A team just won a Super Bowl. I don't think they care how 'boring' it was. Not every game is going to be a masterpiece. I also don't care about the halftime show or commercials. I'm watching to see a sport played. I hate mixing concerts in with a football game. most on here wanted the Pats to lose 98-0 with 10 Pats carted off forever so they look for penalties not called and whine the whole game about how boring it is must be hell to think like that about an unnecessary leisure time activitiy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all the talk is about It being a passing league, and you get last nights game ... It is / was boring.

Success Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Blowouts are more boring - but it wasn’t a well played SB. I like good defense, but both offenses were inept for much of the game and both blew easy plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this Wade's defense was not stacked with talent and last night was one of the lesser NE defenses talent-wise. Both sides leaned heavily on their respective coordinators and their abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides leaned heavily on their respective coordinators and their abilities. And to add to that: Each offense came out for their next drive trying new personnel groupings and play concepts to counter the defense they'd seen up until then. Each defense then accordingly adjusted, both staying one step ahead of the opposing offense. It was move, counter-move all night long. A chess match. It was beautiful, and tense, and close, and awesome. Boring? Psssshhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Josh Allen is way more exciting to watch than either of those QBs. This is the first time I felt that a Bills QB was better than the QBs in the Super Bowl. If Allen is on either of those teams the game is probably a blow out.

Rockpile233 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Top to bottom very underwhelming and easily forgettable. But I have to agree with others that a close game in the second half is still preferable to a blowout. I slept through the second half of Seattle Denver a few years back.

I like good defense, but both offenses were inept for much of the game and both blew easy plays. That's not what I saw at all. The teams were so well prepared for the opposition and the defensive gameplans were so spot-on that neither offense could execute. Not due to "poor play", but due to excellent coaching.

Remember back in the day, when some people would say he’s better than Brady? Yesterday’s game was good, love seeing tough defenses that hit hard. Manning is better than Brady. 3 hours ago, DallasBillsFan1 said: Yes, it was boring ... the most boring because it was the most recent. The NFL needs to step in at this point and ensure the Pats don't win anymore ... it's bad for the game. So you did not see last year's Super Bowl? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Not only boring - heard on TV - worst ratings in the last decade. What it amounts to is America is getting tired of New England. Lot's of fans probably figured New England was going to win, so why bother watching. If the NFL wants to have a healthier outlook, they need to figure out some way to hasten the demise of the Patriot dynasty. Just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense wins championships. This was a sign of a great team today.” Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how football's meant to be played, on a razor edge with NO margin for error. No margin for error? Did we watch the same game. neither QB was good at all, missing throws all over the place. It was an awful game, It wasnt good defense. It was Terrible bad offenses playing football. Goff has regressed back to his rookie year. Goff was the worst rsted QB for teh last month of teh season. Thanks NFL for F(_*^ this up so bad because of how your NFL OT rules work. Edited February 4, 2019 by CountDorkula 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
