I was thinking basically the same thing last night. If this game was played on a Sunday at 1pm in October of 1990 I would have turned the TV off and went Dear hunting in the middle of the 3rd qtr. A real football game to me and most of us old timers is a 17-13 slug fest where there's actually a defense on the field.
Speaking of the 1990's if you would have told me in 1990 that "10 years from now you will be at a point where you could care less about baseball" I would have said you're nuts. And I can't help but wonder if the same it's true about football today ? Especially given the current FUBAR the current Bengals are in and apparently will stay in forever.
