Nah dude, it's a holiday weekend w/ only two games on today. Then you have families in town, people are traveling, etc. 1 hour ago, Forge said: I can't be the only one rooting for some sort of Alex Smith / Blake Bortles against Case Keenum / Nick Foles super bowl. I'm pulling hard for a Jags vs Vikings Super Bowl. I'd pay good money to watch those defenses battle for a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Quality quarterback play does make the game more interesting, but at the same time I wouldn't want the NFL saturated with a ton of A+ quarterbacks and offenses going bonkers racking up a zillion points in most games. I would just watch Arena football if that is what I desired. Games where good defense is evident is also important. Sadly I think a lot of fans today would struggle to watch games from the 70s where there really weren't that many top gun quarterbacks. Not like we have today. Those games though are still just as entertaining. At least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion has been noted. On the other hand, I enjoyed watching the Vikings play great defense and secure a shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we all know why. We could pull up some previous GB vs MIN threads and ratings around the holidays to compare if you want. Or we can just admit the obvious truth.

But neither team was very good offensively. Minnesota did enough to win the game, but they were in no way impressive offensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a pathetic Dolphins fan. *Food for thought: When an offense is shutout they don't usually look impressive by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever floats your boat, captain. Mine is watching good defenses and shutouts are very hard to come by in the NFL, especially on the road.
