That Super Bowl was panned for being boring. Apparently that was an approved talking point.
In polls following XL*, 49 of 50 states (as shown on ESPN's map) overwhelmingly voted that the game will be remembered for questionable officiating. I think 2nd place was that it was boring IIRC. It surprises me that the connection between those two things wasn't talked about more. Had the refs let both teams play, it would have been a far more exciting game for everybody.
