I personally preferred last year's game by a long shot. ;)

But none of the games I have watched top the year before that! :D

(Also if I wasn't a Pats fan I would totally agree. Last year was fun until it wasn't.)

In all seriousness, this year's Super Bowl did not make for good viewing. I think 90% of people who actually enjoyed it were Patriots fans. There wasn't even that much in terms of spectacular defensive plays, as the interceptions were ill-advised throws, and a lot of sacks were a result of the QB holding the ball for too long. Any other potential matchup of the final four teams would likely have been more entertaining.

This also somewhat validates my opinion I've had for over a year now that the Sean McVay-Jared Goff pairing is wildly overrated. Unless one of them develops to a significant degree, I don't see that combo winning a Super Bowl. And yes, I may still be a bit salty about Pederson not winning the 2017 COTY award that he so clearly deserved (even before the SB run), but that's besides the point.

I disliked this year's Super Bowl because:
1. I'm not a Patriots fan.
2. It was the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever.
3. The Saints should have been in.

Oh, and my favorite Super Bowl is:
Super Bowl XLVIII
Seattle Seahawks 43, Denver Broncos 8
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

I think this super bowl's boring ness can be summed up shortly

A team no one cares about vs a team that everybody hates, uber defensive play, lackluster commercials, and an atrocious halftime show.

And this isn't taking into account the fact that they left out sweet victory. That is a whole nother issue itself
Ok this is epic 8-)
