Watching the Rams/Seahawks game reminds me of the SEC that many of us grew up on. I much prefer a 20-13 defensive game to some of the glorified 7 on 7 games that we've seen lately. Hopefully the defenses will catch up soon.

yeah, while offense is nice, a good defense is something to appreciate.

Won’t happen until there are some major rule changes, IMO.

MSU didn’t score a TD several times this season, the old school SEC is there if you know where to look.

UGA 14 KY 3 was an old school game aided by the ban of the forward pass by Eddie Gran.

Kentucky playing 3D chess still playing defense, when those offenses start fizzling out.

Here's a defensive slugfest between SEC teams that occured on this date


And here's one LSU won, just to show I'm a good sport

You and me both! I really don't like this brand of football. Yeah, it's nice to watch BAMA put up points, but the style of play isn't nearly as fun. The fundamental toughness of the game that was so prevalent all my life is gone.

Two tights or a fullback with the QB under center is nearly non-existent. I miss running between the tackles and play action. It's still the best football there is in my opinion.

I’m fine with points being put up, the offenses extend the game more so there’s going to be more drives/opportunities to score. What bothers me is the softening of the sport.

I guess you could make an argument the defensive side has caught up to the offensive side. The issue I would say that arises is the offense has more possessions now with this new style of play. Whereas in past and offense was usually slow and methodical and would control the clock.
