Super Bowl LIII Patriots vs Rams

I love a good defensive game but this one didn’t have that feel to it. It was just an uneventful game.

Agree...its not like this had exciting defense. Very much scheme chess moves to take away things you do well....with the Rams-they wanted to cut down on the James White type west coast short pass game, rush Brady....Pats - cut out the play action/boot early down action, stop run game.

It wasn't hard hitting, physical defense nor was it big, play defense....

yawn....

Great breakdown of Goff's play in the SB. (hint: terrible)

Mcvay outclassed terribly last night...embarrassing performance by Mcvay. Real Jared Goff showed up too..he was hot garbage

Bellichik and his defensive coaching staff did their homework...they obviously studied film of McVay's tendencies to call certain plays in certain situations.....

It was a complete reversal of how I thought the game would play out....the Rams defense looked quite soft and their offense looked overwhelmed and was outcoached...Joe Gibbs once said when you're dealing with a stingy defense you have to keep running the football and alternate the blocking schemes upfront until the defensive line begins to leak so holes can open up and have the defense focus on the run before you start passing the ball...LA didn't do that....McVay didn't adjust to what the Pats defense was doing to his offense.....

Exactly. THIS is the kind of game you would have expected in 2001 when the Giants and Ravens (both insane defenses and mediocre offenses) played in the Super Bowl. How we got this shit SB with these two high powered offenses is mind boggling. It really boils down to coaching and they aren't even close in that area.

Giants defense:
Giants ranked #5 in yards per game allowed at 284.1
Giants ranked #5 in points per game allowed at 15.4

Giants offense:
Giants ranked #13 in yards per game at 336.0
Giants ranked #14 in points per game at 20.8

Ravens defense:
Ravens ranked #2 in yards per game allowed at 247.9
Ravens ranked #1 in points per game allowed at 10.3

Ravens offense:
Ravens ranked #16 in yards per game at 313.4
Ravens ranked # in points per game at 20.5

It was bad but Brady didn't play well either. It was more of the Pats scheme than the poor play of Goff

I think it had to do more with the fact that they did the exact opposite of what they did the entire year. A huge portion of their defense was man defense during the regular season. For the Super Bowl, it was 90% zone. You can imagine which defense they prepared for. BB acknowledge Patricia (Lions HC) defensive game plan earlier in the year when Goff struggled badly in that game. The difference in that game is McVay used Gurley to carry the load and win the game.

Brady played like pure ass. They won in spite of Brady's play, definitely not because of it. BB should have been named MVP truthfully. That defensive game plan was masterful.

Yeah Bill is by far the best defensive mind of all time, look at what he did to Mahomes in both meetings, nobody else could slow him down like that. Brady is coming to his end, he won't last til 45
