How do you feel about an NFL OT game where there are 7 fg’s and no td’s? I’m a little surprised neither team could score a td.
OT: Broncos-Colts game
- Thread starter WestCoastWildcat
- Start date
This snore-fest is indicative of what has happened to a true fan-engaging sport whose current overarching money-grab obsession by its controlling entities has overcome the ability of the sport's constituent players to handle ever-present threat of personal injury, human execution mistakes (due to stress and mental gaffes) and the over-exposure by a fawning media that consistently makes the latest 2-minute hero of the latest game-of-the-century deciding darling player who makes a critical play at a critical time in the game.
Simply speaking... it's downright U-G-L-Y and doesn't come close to what the original sport was intended to be in the first place.
In 2022, NFL and Division 1A college games have transitioned into a manipulated vehicle of corporate greed and advertising revenue generation rather than a celebration of a team's or its athlete's physical prowess on the field of competition.
Tonight's snore-bowl was yet another broadcast exercise in "controlling a possible game-deciding eff-up" rather than completing a game-deciding athletic play.
It's nothing less than a bore and a waste of the true fan's time...
Even the broadcasters were hard-pressed to generate anything approaching token enthusiasm for a game that was the equivalent of watching paint dry.

You don’t even appreciate getting a free preview of NU/Ioa?
Have to chuckle at a large segment of Broncos fans who thought that Siemian (and the other QBs, well, not Paxton Lynch) was the biggest problem w/ the Broncos O.
A Broncos team led by Siemian was 4-0 before he sustained that painful ACC joint injury, and the Broncos run game even w/ the injury to Williams is a lot better than what Trevor had (Siemian wishes he had the talent level on O that Wilson gets to work w/; same for Winston/Dalton in NO).

Russell Wilson is not good. He is old and likes being a celebrity. His best football days are well behind him. I doubt any team has regretted a major contract as quickly as the Broncos already regret Russ’.
I did not see the game and have not looked at the stats.

I'll take a 12-9 over Bucky tomorrow with 7 FG's, Fitz would love it.
I’ll never forget his performance in the game vs. Dallas. Peak Touchdown Trevor on that day. Trev was on fire.
My kind of game. I like defense and love FGs. Other team's D all excited because they stopped you at the 25 and BOOM . 3 points. I miss having a good kicker
I looked at it more as a pro-level encore of 2013 NU-Michigan
