It would be fun to get some decade-in-review threads started. Yes, there's still a few calendar weeks left in the 2019 season, but with a whole decade of games to look back on, which stand out for you?
Although I hated the results of both, hard to look past Super Bowls 49 and 52. 49 just had it all; two titanic teams who were the finest of their respective conferences (and in some ways, perhaps the definitive franchises of the decade) going at it in a tremendously even bout; two respected veteran head coaches with Belichick going up against the man he replaced; two top tier QBs with Russell Wilson and that other guy; one of the most shocking endings in league history. What a game.
52, although certainly not likely to be appreciated by fans of defense (nary a stop to be found throughout), featured the GOAT at the height of powers in a record-breaking performance and he still lost to a mercurial, impossible Nick Foles showing. With the Philly special, Brady's failed catch, and the constant scoring at both ends, this one offered, for lack of a better word, and one of screamingtreefrogs' favorite sporting elements: terrific theater. It was just pure spectacle on top of an incredibly thrilling game.
Any others that came to mind, post 'em here.
