The Ravens - Giants and Buccaneers - Raiders were by far worse than this one. Colts and Bears wasn’t great either. All those years where the NFC was blowing out the Bills and Broncos sucked way harder.

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 wasn't decided until the last 2 patriot drives, and was two different Cooks drops away from being a completely different 4th quarter. Sure, it technically would’ve created a different chain of events had Cooks made that TD grab, but I have no doubt the score would simply have been 13-10 instead of 13-3. Brady still does enough to get the Pats into position for another FG. The Rams never really instilled any kind of confidence that they could maintain a comeback. Their offensive scheme was simply overmatched.

Blowouts are boring, this game wasn't decided until the 4th quarter.

Definitely the most boring SB ever. This wasn't a defensive battle. This was just a bad offense vs an inept offense.
And just because the score was close doesn't make it entertaining. This was like that Pistons-Pacers playoff game several years ago where both teams kept throwing up bricks all day and the final score was 72-67.

Ravens V Giants was boring
SF V Chargers was boring
SF V Denver was boring
Giants V Denver/NE V Chicago/GB V KC...these are boring games.

Totally disagree, some of those games were blowouts, but at least you were seeing some good football from at least one of the teams. The game yesterday was sloppy, dull, and quite frankly featured some pretty uninspired football from both teams. I'd rather watch a game like the Niners crushing the Broncos because you were watching true greatness from the Niners. You got none of that yesterday. And I'm not hating on the Pats, all of the previous Brady Super Bowls were great games. Just not yesterday's.

Blowouts FOR ME, bore me. Im not saying this game will go down at the greatest (It wont) I made jokes during it. "Who wins the MVP, which punter." Bills amazing defensive mind Vs. Wade Phillips. Wade always give Tom issues, it was two defensive minds going to battle. In the end, Brady did what he had to do. The game wasnt officially over (Even not, if Rams make a FG, get the offsides kick, hail mary, tied game. Crazy $hit has happened in the NFL) until the 4th. Ill take this > that blowout.

It's all good, bud. I'm a Boston fan except for the Pats, but I'm always happy when they win it all, it makes a lot of my friends and family happy, and most importantly, it further shows the dominance of Boston sports. But that was a real dull game. Hey, none of the four World Series the Sox have won recently were any good, but they were sure good to me. 😉

Hey, none of the four World Series the Sox have won recently were any good, but they were sure good to me. 😉 The only time I like blow outs, is if my Houston team is blowing a team out. THOSE are good! In the end, I guess id rather see a low scoring game (7-10, 3-10, etc) over 52-10 or 48-8. I mean imagine if Goff saw that wide open WR earlier, they score. It was just one mistake from someone taking the lead. If we look at all of Brady's 9 super bowls, yes, this will probably go down as his weakest and the weakest boring super bowl Brady was in....but every other time, NE super bowls have been amazing. One dud is okay....and another ring Im sure for NE makes it a little nicer. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) On a random, I loved seeing Boston come back from 3-0. Seeing the Yankees blow it...THAT was fun! (And ending the curse).

Wow! So one sustained scoring drive that threatened a touchdown for each team was not boring? A couple of desperation heaves from Goff made you think that the Rams could win at any moment? That's a definition of a close, exciting game?
Aside from it being the Super Bowl, this game was like watching a Cardinals/Raiders game or a Bills/Broncos game this year. You were waiting for somebody to stop losing rather than waiting to see who wins. The bar has sunk pretty low.

Pretty turgid stuff for sure, as a British guy who has to stay up through the night to watch it (never miss it every year) I'm definitely no hard core Gridiron fan who lives and breathes the sport, but it was hard going staying awake. I'm always engrossed by tactical skills, defence wizardry and all that, but this just came off as one team out of their depth playing against another who only had to go into second gear to win the game.
No entertainment in that - unless you are a Patriots fan of course! Congrats to them yet again. Having chose The Dolphins as my team back in the Marino days, this when the sport started to get covered here, I'd be happy just to get to the final, never mind winning it 6 times!!

Comparing this Super Bowl to baseball, I would say this would be the equivalent of a dead ball era game. No home runs and it's all heavy on defensive strategy.
