One of the worst SB's in memory

[DeAngelo Beason]

I'm a fan of football that way it was originally intended... that being that points have to be earned...  I thought it was brilliant defensive play from both sides.

As much as I hated seeing Tom Brady and Robert Kraft be rewarded for being company men yet again, the game was enjoyable imo.

Then again, i'm a huge combat sports fan and can watch two bjj specialists work for position for the entire fight while never not being entertained

It’s all perspective. 

Leading up to the game I worked everyday for the past couple weeks and didn’t see not one minute of Super Bowl hype until I turned it on right before kick off. 

I didn’t have any expectations. I thought it was a great game but I was pulling for the Patriots. Halftime show was pretty dam good too I thought. 

I had some Proper 12 and Tito’s in my system.

Saw the start of it at dinner. Went home and watched the Hurricanes game with my son. Driving in this AM I heard it ended 13-3, but they didn't mention who won. Got to work and heard the Pats won. Probably will skip through the recording tonight to see the ads. Sounds like the hockey game was a good call.

I got some laundry done and should have watched the hockey game. (And the Blackhawks are 2-0 since the break.... maybe they'll get out of the cellar in the 2nd half of the season.)

Any hockey game last night would have been better than that sh!t.

And for the rest of you: stop equating a lack of scoring to good defense- they aren't the same.

I didn't think this one was bad.  The defenses played well, both generating good pass rushes.  At times, Brady looked frazzled at times, Goff was frazzled much of the game.  But I like defensive games.

I'm sure the competition committee will address this.  We'll probably see rules changes including the DB can no longer chuck the receiver within 5 yards, and in fact can not make contact with him until he has taken three steps after catching the ball, and the DL can not begin rushing the QB until the down judge fires a starting pistol, five full seconds after the snap.

I have every faith the NFL competition committee will remain the biggest threat to the sport.

I actually enjoyed the game on some level like you did. I applaud any team that can shut down their opponent in today's NFL which is heavily weighed in favor of the offense. Both defenses played well yesterday.

I didn't react positively to your post is because you're probably right about the competition committee doing something else to handcuff defenses even more in the off season.

i thought it was a good game.  wade had tom confused early which is hard to do.   there is some stuff there we need to incorporate with disguising coverages.

[Manther]

Didn't watch.

Just another year where the NFL if Brady's bitch ...and we're the NFL's bitch.

Its sad.  sigh.

Boring ass game ....imagine spending thousands to watch this crap fest. The halftime show was also one of the worst...fitting for this game.

NFL taking a real kick in the balls with this one....to bad....not.

 

 

 

I usually steer away from commenting on how exciting or boring a superbowl is.  All I want is a fair game.  If people clamor for only exciting games in superbowls, that opens the door to manipulation.  All I can ask for in a superbowl, and in the playoffs for that matter, is an honest result.  When it comes to this game, I believe we got that.

With that said, it was a boring game.  It is what it is.

[pantherclaw]

As a football fan for 40 years, the game was anybody's up to the last 4 minutes of the game.

Defensive slug  fest.   I know casual and young fans have no appreciation for it, but I sure did. 

Lol at boring. 

Edit: it also proves defense still wins championships. 

[jfra78]

Most Superbowls suck, the Conference Championships are much better.  All that poo that goes on the week leading too and even during the game leads to a poorly played game.

Pats defense was awesome....best def in a Super Bowl I’ve ever seen

It helped that they were going against Goff who isn’t as good as people make him out to be.

Can confirm, 2 saints fans in my house, just kept saying "patriots are lucky and thankful it's not the saints"....hahahahhahahs ok.

You don’t think Brees would’ve put up more than 3 points?

[frash.exe]

the outcome of this game (and season tbh) just re-affirms the death of any passion i had for football since february 2016

everything just leads to tom cena holding up the lombardi trophy half the time so what’s the fuging point of it all

To be fair, it was one of the better hockey games I've seen this year. And not just because there was plenty of scoring
