Easily the most boring Belichick-Brady Super Bowl; before this, win or lose, they played in exciting games.

Boring Super Bowl but this one felt more like the Super Bowls of the 70's. Specifically that Vikings/Steelers game.

Let's be honest. It was a freaking punters contest. They both should've split the MVP.

This wasn’t that dull IMO, a game doesn’t have to have a lot of points to be compelling. Broncos/Panthers from 2 years ago was way more boring IMO.

The top two teams of their division gave us a regular season game.

The top two teams of their division gave us a regular season game. Yeah. The quarterback play was below average. The game just felt sloppy too many times. Even field goal kickers sucked. Both had two attempts in the forties. Came up .500 |

That rebound by Jason McCourty was probably the biggest play of the game, in a game where every single play mattered. If you say so. I never felt the gravitas. At half time I said "This game is over as soon as somebody scores a touchdown". Sure enough, everything else in the second half was mostly uneventful. Just like the first half. |

This game was a total letdown. Yes, the Carolina/Denver one was bad, but going into that one you knew it was gonna be low scoring, those were two teams really built around defense. The Pittsburgh/Seattle one was dull, but how can you expect much when Matt Hasselback was one of the qb's?
This one seemed like it should have been MUCH better than what it was, especially considering the two quarterbacks.

As a Brady fan, I was invested the whole game and hanging on every hike. As a Brady fan, I've seen him do unbelievable things, so I know a game is hardly ever out of reach. This is the first superbowl he's won where he didn't reach 20 points. Low scoring superbowls have not been his bread and butter. 20, 24, 28, 32 and 34 were his previous winning scores. This game wasn't decided until the last 2 patriot drives, and was two different Cooks drops away from being a completely different 4th quarter. |

So you found the game "not boring" because Tom Brady played in it. And two drops from the Rams offense decided it. An offense that had been playing sloppy all game in every phase. Okay. It wasn't surprising to me. I guess I need more than my favorite player to be in a game to be entertained. |

Did you see Gilmore break up that beautiful pass, or Edelman's artistry in the first half, or Donald and Suh knocking Brady down after just 3 seconds? Football is more than touchdowns and deep passes. |

I just been watching the games for the past 10 years and it's easily the most boring one I seen. As impressive as the defense for the teams were if I wanted to watch a game where nobody scored I'd be watching soccer. The game wasn't really interesting until the last half hour.
