Lot of penalties
Lot of turnovers
Dropped passes
Just watch Auburn VS MSU 08 for the gold standard of bad football.

Bad football to me is a game marred by a lack of discipline or just attention to detail.
Excessive, penalties. Clock mismanagement. Just the crap that makes a team look sloppy, undisciplined and poorly coached.

How have I never seen/dont remember this?

Driving the ball right down the field, using your running game, and then trying to throw the ball once you're in the red zone.

I agree that 20-30 points for each team is the sweet spot. If both teams have over 30 points, that means both defenses were often unsuccessful. When you get in the 40s that's a score basically every drive. On the other hand, if both teams have under 20 points, the defenses were too overpowering - not enough offense.

Too many non-entertaining mistakes. Poor tackling and blocking.

I dont know if that one or the 2 linemen blocking each other is better

3-2. 3-2 is bad football.
Worst game I've ever watched.
Conversely, the 9-6 loss in Tuscaloosa to LSU in 2011 was an incredible game. It was very similar to an incredibly well played EPL match. Though scoring wasn't prolific, each possession, each play, it mattered. You couldn't leave your seat because there was the potential for something big to happen every play. Aside from Alabama's kicking, the game was played with some of the best talent I've ever seen on a football field. The combined teams would field a team that could compete on Sundays.
To summarize, regardless of the score - I think high levels of execution, combined with elite talent, can provide for excellent football. Whether low scoring ('11 BAMA-LSU) or high ('15 BAMA-CLEM Natty), football can be good either or.
Conversely, if talent and execution are lacking, that constitutes bad football.

I like high scoring, medium scoring, and low scoring games. I think it depends on whether the teams look competent or not. High scoring games should reflect the prowess of the offenses not the ineptitude of the defenses, and vice versa for low scoring games.
Fwiw the 2006 Auburn-LSU game was one of the best games I have ever watched, and it finished 7-3.

bad football = any game between Auburn and LSU that is coached by Gus Malzahn.

I personally think it all boils down to execution. What makes for bad football is when teams are just failing to execute rather than 1 team stopping another.

Bad football is turning on the big ten network at 11 am and hearing that female announcer try her best to sound like a man.
Usually teams like northwestern and Purdue

Thats what I was thinking. That's much worse than the players blocking each other. Damn Florida has some dumb mother frickers

When you watch it and it's ugly....I don't quantify it as a score necessarily. When you watch good football...you just know it's good football. Bama vs Georgia was good football. 08 Florida vs Bama was good football. 3-2 game was bad football.
Last year LSU vs Florida was a good battle. Florida vs Missouri was not good football

9-6 was bad football
Posted on 7/25/19 at 5:36 pm to GeauxTigerNation
42-45 does NOT always mean 1 side was asleep for 4 qtrs......could have been 0-0 for all you know.

I realize that all you do is troll and don't have an intelligent response to anything on this board, but that was absolutely brilliant football.
That Alabama Team had one of the greatest Defenses of All-Time. Their offense was pretty damn good too and they beat the living hell out of everyone they played that year, except us that game.
LSU beat 5 Top 15 teams that year and rolled over 40 points on some really good teams that year. Our D was incredibly great that year as well.
Those rosters were loaded with future NFL'ers. That was two brick walls playing brilliant defense that night. Absolute, sheer brilliant defense by both teams.

Bad football just means sloppy football imo. A 23-21 type game can be “bad” if it’s extremely sloppy, with lots of missed passes, dropped balls, missed tackles, etc.
