So I just have regular cable and thus only have access to NO vs ATL and KC vs TEN.
I am sure many NFL fans are riveted by the back-and-forth game with offensive fireworks. Certainly the fact that it is a close game late makes for more excitement.
But all I can think is, no wonder the NFL-at-large, and these pass-happy teams in-specific, are shocked catatonic when they engage the defense of Seattle, Carolina, San Francisco, etc.
These 2 dome teams "clashing" make me want to puke. Both QBs with 400+ yards of passing. I'm sure there's a large segment of fans, hey maybe a majority for all I know, who view this as the epitome of exciting NFL football, two QB heavyweights trading blows. But those living in STL, SEA, ARZ, SF, CAR, HOU, or any other city where actual defense is played, just watch this and fight the rising tide of puke on one hand and lick their chops on the other hand if either of these creampuffs is on the schedule.
Heck I'm sure we'll see Green Bay do something similar against most other teams they face. That's how these teams are built. There will be those who say we'll turn into a team like that as soon as Russ has to be paid. Yeah...not with the LOB already locked up for a while. Not saying we'll be historically great every year, but egads, there will be something resembling defense played.
I swear if NO or ATL had to turn around and play SF immediately after this game, a small part of me would root for SF to beat the crap out of them on principle. We'll probably see something like that later since Dallas is similarly constructed with zero defense.
