Sorry but the game sucked.... there was no flow, no big plays and a bunch of crappy commercials
No putting lipstick on that pig.... sloppy play and missed opportunities
But I wouldn't characterize it as sloppily played. There weren't a bunch of turnovers, excessive penalties, or other mistakes like Super Bowl 5. It was simply great defense by both teams.
From my perspective, Super 48 was a boring game. That game exhibited all you were looking for in this one, but it wasn't exciting to me because it was essentially over by half. This game wasn't boring because it was in the balance until less than 2 minutes left.
I may be in the minority, but I appreciate a well played defensive game. I might be the only one that didn't watch the Rams~Chiefs Monday night game this year. And I don't really care for Big 12 football. I'm afraid the NFL will attribute the lower ratings of this game to the lack of scoring and take steps to further the restriction on defenses (of which one consequence would be more penalties) instead of the real reasons.
Where we do agree are the commercials. As a whole, they were putrid. There were a few I didn't even get the point of what they were trying to say or sell. But that doesn't have anything to do with the play on the field.
