The problem to me is the ease the offenses moved the ball. There really wasn't any suspense that the offenses were going to face adversity as you just knew that each offense was just going to respond to the other and score when they got the ball back. It was just so easy that while you marvel at the big plays there's little suspense that either defense was going to stop these offenses. So many receivers were so wide open it's not like either QB really had to thread the needle on a lot of the big plays. I'm not going to say I didn't enjoy the game but to me that's not good football at all.
