I know, I know….we all liked watching the ‘50s kind of football that you could leave to go make a sammich and come back and you hadn’t missed anything and the final score would be 10-7. However, the college game has now come into the NFL after years of resistance, and it isn’t leaving because it fills the seats. To grouse about it, is like an old man yelling at the kids, “Get off my lawn!”
On the other hand, in a high-scoring game, you could miss out on a touchdown, and it's not a big deal because you know the other team is going to go right back down and score. In a 10-7 game, one play could decide the whole thing. It's like a pitcher's duel in baseball, one bad pitch can make the whole difference.
Ironically, before the “Greatest Show on Turf” day’s in St Louis, the Rams highest scoring teams were in the early 1950s.
