I think it was a very well played game, but when they are dominated by defense as in this case they are not exciting to watch.
Maybe not to those looking for stats, and big plays - but by and large this wasn’t a sloppy or inept game. The intricacies of defense can be fascinating, as is watching O-Line play. This is much easier to see now when we can rewind the plays on our own.
As i was watching, I pointed this out to family in the second quarter, that this game was a defense clinic, and both defenses were great, but people who don’t appreciate it would be calling it boring and soccer and such...
After reading all these threads on Free Republic, I was NOT disappointed.
