You used to be able to appreciate scoring and good offense because it was difficult and a good offense was really accomplishing something. Yesterday and this year just go to prove that football has become more like the Arena league where a score can be expected on every possession almost.
Well, yesterday wasn't awesome because of the scoring, it was awesome because of the comebacks and intensity.
It's also a misconception that teams are scoring significantly more today than they did in previous years. Did you know that teams are averaging just under 2 points more per game than they were 30 years ago? That's really not all that significant of an increase, or at least not as much as most people seem to believe.
I do enjoy defensive games more than shootouts, however, The point was just that people seem to have this conception that super snowy games limit offenses to the point where they become battles of who can fuck up less, and yesterday proved that isn't the case.
