Did either team field a defense?
So use the flag as toilet paper but score a lot of touchdowns. I guess America is cool with that.
“Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes had six touchdowns alone. “
AND FIVE TURNOVERS!
I know it’s what people want, and I know I’m old and out of step with the target audience.
I don’t like “football” that is pitch and catch, 137 to 129. (Ok, slight exaggeration). I like a little defense, I like for a touchdown to be something of consequence, not just another basket.
My kind is dying off, this is the new “football”, but it’s not for me. I tuned in for about 2 minutes. Watched the Rams pass it down the field as if there wasn’t a defense on the field, (for all practical purposes there wasn’t). I decided I didn’t want to watch 2 teams score faster than a politician takes a bribe.
Impressive Offense = Bad Defense
Where there any kneelers to the National Anthem and the US Flag?
Because if there still is, I’m not watching.
If they’ve finally stopped that blatant disrespect (and I couldn’t care less how worthy the cause—it’s still a slap in my military brethren’s face) then maybe they’ll get some fans back...
Real football teams have real defenses. Neither of these teams did. It was like watching a varsity offense playing against the JV scrubs.
Both Rams and Chiefs exposed their weak defenses. The Saints are going to annihilate everyone in their way to the Super Bowl. The Chiefs don’t stand a chance against them if they’re going to be their opponents. I’m hoping for a Brady/Brees Super Bowl.
This was a fantastic game between 2 really good 1 loss teams.
There was some epic defensive moments showcasing the athleticism of both teams. I thoroughly enjoyed it to the end.
That score is reminiscent of an Arena Football score.
All those down numbers didn’t mean anything.
One big night means everything.
And so it goes in what passes for information in the information age.
We get far less accurate information than we ever have.
The defense should be able to defend against a pass when that’s the only play being run.
There is still MNF?
Two of the best young quarterbacks in the league leading two of the best offenses in the league. I sorry by Chiefs lost but it was one heck of a game, probably the best I’ve seen in a very long time.
Well, the new rules forbid defenses from tackling the quarterback, knocking a player out of bounds, incidental contact with helmet on an open field tackle, etc.
The only thing left, is to stand in the way, and watch the offence score.
Lame. They could have claimed ratings were up due to anti-Mexican fervor and it would be just as illogical. The two teams, as well as New England and New Orleans are steamrolling everyone in sight so when they go head to head, it’s going to be a big event.
It was one of the best games I ever watched. Too bad there was no defense to be seen! Now before anyone hammers me for watching, let me say this. Why should I allow protesters and miscreants to stop me from enjoying a sport I like? Why should I give up my freedom? Why should I let them win? I boycotted last year but realized I was only punishing myself. Stupid!
I did not watch the game (no NFL) but the griping here about defense reminded me about Doug Moe and Chili night.
As I recall, if the home team scored 150 points all fans received a bowl of Chili from Wendy’s. Moe’s visiting team was down by a large margin and the other team had scored over 140 points with a minute or so to go. The fans were screaming Chili, Chili, Chili and Doug called a time out. He told his team not to play defense and the home team scored over 150 points.
The league got wind of his instructions and fined him $5,000 or some other non-trivial amount. In his defense Doug said his team hadn’t played defense the first 59 minutes of the game, why should they start the last minute?
Super Bowl has been cancelled.
Now will be a best of five between Rams vs Chiefs.
The extent of my backsliding is to watch highlights on YT, occasionally. Wow, what a game. But that’s as it should be when both teams come in at 9 and 1.
