I enjoyed the game.  Not as exciting as last year, but better than a blow out.  The defenses put on a hell of a show and neither team could move the ball. I really thought the Rams were going to find a way to score. Oh well.  Patriot/Brady dynasty secured.

The 1st half was nothing special, but overall it was a good game, both defences played well.

I don’t think it was necessarily a “good game,” but I think people are overreacting by calling it the worst ever. It’s like people forget about all the blowouts we used to have back in the day. At least this was close.

At least there's some action in the blowouts.  This game was a total dud.  The only thing it had going for it was that it wasn't a comedy of errors.

i think the difference was in those games at least you could at least appreciate the greatness of the team that dominated.  last night, other than the Pats getting their 6th there really wasn't anything redeeming about it.  nothing great about last night's game at all. even for all the great defense was there really more than 2 or 3 really great defensive plays?  was just really blah play after play.

Rams showed , IMO, that they didnt belong..not yet..should have been the Saints..Pats would not have held NO to 3...

It was still on a third of all the TV's in America.  Almost 100 million viewers.

That is nothing to scoff at.

I agree.

There was a period where every game was a blowout.  Would rather have a 13-3 game every day for a season finale.

Now, on a normal Sunday?  I like seeing the action.

It was still a boring game: NE doing what it had to do to win... and LA not having a clue what to do at all (getting mauled at the line of scrimmage I might add).

There are typically more good games than bad games (especially lately). I can recall San Fran shitcanning Miami, San Diego and Denver in boring blowouts, but their display of awesomeness was fun to watch. Denver got shitcanned by a few opponents come to think of it.

Denver was banged up 3 times under the Elway Regime and returned the favor in back to back SB wins though.

They were then banged up in the Manning regime against the Seahawks but banged up the Panthers next.

I still wish the Plummer era Broncos would've won one!

Man he was streaky.  When he was on though he was amazing but when he was bad, well, they were bad.

So you’d rather a 45-10 game that is over at half time?

Yeah back in the 80’s and 90’s blowouts we’re almost routine.

Than yesterday’s game, yes. I’ve seen plenty of good low-scoring games. Yesterday was not one of them.

Agreed. Yesterday’s game was a bore fest. Gurley who?
