worst football game ever?

Pittsburgh 3 Miami 0
24 yard field coal with 20 seconds to go in 4th quarter.
Ugh.

Bill Belichick has never been the most popular coach in the NFL, but his Sunday night decision to go for it on 4th and 2 on his own 28 with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter has even his fans crying foul. I bring up this football decision not because I'm interested in a debate - as a Pats…
Last night's Colts-Patriots game was a painful experience. (As you probably guessed, I'm a Patriots fan.) But it wasn't just painful because the Pats lost the game: it was how they lost the game. The Pats dominated the 1st half, only to have their 18 point lead slowly chipped away by Manning's…
In honor of the start of football season, I thought I'd blog about one of my favorite economics papers. It's by David Romer of UC Berkeley, and it should be mandatory reading for every sleep-deprived NFL coach out there. The question Romer was trying to answer is familiar to every NFL fan: what to…
It's the last regular season game for ASU - the Territorial Cup game against the University of Arizona Wildcats. At the beginning of the season, I don't think anyone would have predicted that ASU would have a 3-5 PAC-10 record and U of A (4-4) would have beaten three ranked opponents in a row…

Yes, it was the worst game ever. There was nothing in that game remotely stimulating, yet I continued to watch because it was that dissappointing. I also wanted to see if Miami could somehow pull it out, but ultimately wanted to see them lose.

i was hoping for a tie.

I think the Dolphin punt that stuck in the mud without bouncing is indicative of what it was like to play on that field. I don't entirely blame the players for such a boring game.

GO STEELERS!!

That was awesome! imagine your home team winning the superbowl that way...priceless ;)

I hadnt seen a game like that in ages, the field goals were not an option....

I was pondering how many overtimes current NFL rules mandate before they give up.
Also got a suggestion they switch to soccer rules - take field goals, and either keep moving the ball back, or have different people kick each time...

It was a good defensive struggle, under difficult field conditions...

I did see the Eagles game, well the last few minutes anyway. Sorry.

steinn,

no worries. The Eagles played well and if they had actually run the ball at the end successfully, it might have been different. This is kind of a bad year for them anyhow. I wonder how long Reid is going to last. A recent headline from the Onion earlier in the season says it all tho, "Eagles Fans expect McNabb to wind Superbowl in next three games". Also a good one on Reid's personal problems...

My bad.
Going native, dontcha know.
Meant the "adapted for television" version of rugger the buggers play here.
Get quite used to it.

Much as I understand the Croatia game, it can not match the legendary W. Germany vs Austria game in the first round of the world cup (was it, or was it European cup?).

Closely follwed by the Iceland vs France game where France explained afterwards that it was impolite to score more than one goal per player...
