This thread is very funny.
Personally, I turned that game off in the 4th quarter. It wasn't entertaining, it was painful to watch the No-D NFL and the All-"Star" refs. It was like watching a boxing match where neither guy blocks a single punch, just stands there looking stupid with his hands down then punches the other one who's doing the same.
That the story of this game is bad defenses is just insane to me.
Was this a game in which two historically bad defenses were going up against each other, or a game in which two historically good offenses were going up against each other?
The answer is absolutely obvious.
Yeah, so far this year the Chiefs have the 25th ranked defense (just barely in the bottom quarter of the league) and the Rams have the 20th ranked defense, but that's really not that remarkable. These are garden variety not very good defenses.
On the other hand, you have two of the most explosive and innovative offenses in the history of the NFL trading punches against each other.
That's the context.
People take that context of two ridiculously innovative and historically effective NFL offenses going head-to-head and use it to bellyache about below average defenses and conspiracy theories about officiating?
Sorry, that's just crazy to me.
