Why was Super Bowl LX considered boring?
All right, let's be honest here. The Super Bowl sucked. Do we all agree on that, Bob?
One of the worst Super Bowls I've ever seen. I think Seattle, and I said this to you, I thought they'd win by double digits. And just their defense is just so good. And it's so well constructed. And they made life miserable for... Drake May, he didn't have a chance with those guys coming out, and their coverage down the field was great. But it was bad.
What factors contributed to Seattle's Super Bowl victory?
I mean, it was 12-0, and there were no touchdowns in the first three quarters. The first nine possessions featured seven punts combined.
It was terrible. It was unwatchable in the first half. It really stunk. Limits, when's your first Super Bowl memory? Let's do over the course of Limits' lifetime, the worst and best Super Bowls we've seen. Oh, now you're testing my memory there, Bob.
I'll give you one. Don't worry.
Well, it's not that far, Bob. Super Bowl XLIII. That's your first memory?
Yeah.
So you don't remember Super Bowl 40? No.
Well, I mean, consider that was, what, 2006? I would have been four years old about to turn five.
All right. Then here we go.
How did Kenneth Walker perform during the Super Bowl?
Here's the Super Bowls since limits was conscious. Are you ready, Bob? Yes, sir. Steelers-Arizona, great one, right? New Orleans-Indy. I thought that was a decent low-key Super Bowl.
Yeah, that was good. That was okay.
I remember the onside kick from Sean Payton. Packers-Steelers didn't like the result. It was a pretty darn entertaining Super Bowl.
Very entertaining out on Dallas.
Giants over the Patriots again in their second matchup. That was pretty notable. Not the greatest game of all time. Not the greatest game, but some signature moments. Baltimore 34, San Fran 31 was a great Super Bowl that went right to the wire. We always equate better Super Bowls with more points, it seems, right? I'll get into that a little more. Certainly close ones are entertaining. But yeah, I think for the most part. Seattle 43, Denver 8 was a horrible game. That was in New York, right? Yes. And yet I marveled at the Legion of Boom and what they did to a historically prolific Peyton Manning offense. What did you think of that one?
Again, Seattle's won these Super Bowls because of their defense in both cases, and they were outstanding. Good game? Bad game? Horrible game?
What are the worst and best Super Bowls in recent history?
I thought it was bad. I didn't like it being in New York to begin with. It's just you run the risk of so many weather problems.
Yeah, it was okay. New England 28, Seattle 24, the Marshawn-Lynch game. That's a great football game, right? Yeah, especially right down to the very end. Absolutely incongruent. Denver 24, Carolina 10. That was okay. It wasn't nearly as bad as this one.
This was one of the worst in the last decade for sure.
Let's see if we can find a worse one. New England-Atlanta was the next one. February 5th, 2017. That was a hell of a game.
That was dramatic. It looked like it was going to be one of those ugly games, and then all of a sudden it changed diabolically.
Philly 41, New England 33. In my humble opinion, Bob, one of the greatest Super Bowls ever played. I agree with that. The Philly Special. And now one of the worst Super Bowls ever played the year after in Mercedes-Tim Benz Stadium. New England 13 and the Rams 3.
What a horrible game that was. No offense to speak of. A lot of defense. A lot of sloppy play on offense. Not good.
But at least, as Nick Kostos, I just heard him say a couple of breaks ago,
How did Seattle's defense impact the game?
At least that game was competitive. The Rams had a chance to tie it late. That game was better than this game. Would you agree?
Well, yeah, because it was still in the balance. This was never in the balance. Once it got to be 12-0 and then 19, there was no chance.
Kansas City 31, San Fran 20. Very good game. Emmanuel Sanders, was it Garoppolo, hit Sanders. They've got a chance to win late. Tampa 31, Kansas City 9. Horrible game, yet I enjoyed the destruction of the Chiefs.
And that was also a defensive masterpiece, I think, by Tampa Bay that day.
Rams 23, Cincy 20. Great game, would you agree? Yes. Kansas City 38, Philly 35. Epic game.
Of all the ones, that's the one that stands out to me.
