Opinions on the Super Bowl, did it match expectations?

I tried to watch the second half to see what Bad Bunny was going to pull out of his hat but fell asleep early in the 4th Q.

It was pretty bad. I watch NFL occasionally, and that was one of the more boring games I have seen. It was pretty clear by the second quarter that Patriots offense was overmatched trying to deal with Seahawk's D, their O-line in particular, with a fairly green (although talented) QB. I bet my son at half-time that Patriots would get shut out (but lost). I thought the commentary, both play-by-play and colour, was excellent as was the input from the ref analyst. Camera work was great. Skipped the 1/2 time show. I only watch NFL when CFL is not available, for whatever reason, I much prefer CFL.

Playnow had a "Put $20 on the big game, and we'll give you $60 in slots tokens" deal, so I put a sprinkle on the Pats.  Free money makes bad decisions.

So, having "skin in the game", I watched the whole thing, including about 25% of the half time. 

Having money on the line in a game where the outcome is decided in the first few drives makes for not just a boring game, but a frustrating one.

It was terrible.  Yes, if you are a big fan of defence, it was a good game to watch, but zero excitement.  No big defensive plays, really. Few sacks, few knockdowns, few INT's until garbage time. 

Just solid positional D play neutralizing the O.

Literally nothing to be excited about.

Zzzz...

Obviously a nothing burger of a game, but just like any single CFL game, it should have no bearing of your opinion of the league as a whole at all.

I usually enjoy watching the NFL, but I was on my phone for the part of the game I did watch because nothing was happening.
