      depends on what you want from a game. fans of good defense saw something beautiful. miraculous. they saw a team just outright bully another for an entire hour. the other team also faced incredible defense, they just overcame it enough to put enough points on the board to win.

      that said.

      i hate that all of this knowlege of the game still lives within me when the whole sport is structured around everyone trying to be chill about continuous brain damage

        I loved every minute on the field and still like watching the game, but the NFL is a terrible organization and if I had kids I don’t think I’d want them subject to all the concussions I got over the years.

          Yeah. I loved playing football, but knowing what I do now I have a very different perspective on the game. I was very good, and probably could have gotten a full-ride scholarship prettu easily if I hadn’t quit for stupid reasons, but now I think my juvenile self may have accidentally made a great call.
