Pats 21 Rams 9
The Pat's defense isn't good enough to hold the Rams to 9 points.
Pats 27 Rams 21

I had some dinner then went over various organizations stats. They are all playing with the same #'s, so I have no idea how their conclusions can be so different.Quote:

Ricky, I'll go with your's because as soon as kickoff starts the game, all the stats become meaningless anyway. I'm going with the Rams on a feeling.
Just sitting here with nothing to do so I figured I'd beat a dead horse again.

If the game was based on the best QB's, Brees/Saints would be playing Mahomes/KC. C'est la vie!
If you go by who is playing, Goff has it on stats over Brady, but you have to go with a HOF QB over basically a rookie.
I want to see what Mahomes does next season.
I watched the No/Rams non call. There could have been 2 fouls called: The obvious pass interference and there was helmet to helmet contact. Then comes the fact that, if you look in the background, the ref is watching the play. I brought this play up because they are considering a lawsuit against the NFL.

I also found out that Goodel (or whatever the hell his name is) technically, according to some rule, has the right to get the Rams and Saints back on the field and replay it from that play. Of course that's not going to happen. Can you imagine the logistics on that.
Being that I'm a Cowboy fan, I have the wait till next year thing going.

Combined, the score is 238 to 55.
I would say that those games were played with great defense for (obviously) the winning teams.
The Pats-Rams game wasn't even close. It was (supposedly) 2 high scoring teams playing crappy football.
Side Note: Back in 1901, there was a team called the Michigan Wolverines that over the course of whatever their season was, outscored their opponents 555-0.
Ummm yeah they gave up 3 points to the 11th highest scoring offense in the history of the game?? Yeah REALLY! I get it though some people just have to find the negative side of everything... Dont give credit to a great defense played by both teams...no no no...Those other games back in the day were great defense but this obviously was not?? Pfttt whatever!
I was close!Quote:

I like games with a lot of offense, you like more defensive games.
Whatever!
