It was due to the Patriots, and I know other people felt the same way. It was the first SB I didn't watch at all and until yesterday I had watched every one. I couldn't care less about the Rams, but it was NE that I cannot stomach any more.

Brady vs. Brees would have resulted in sky-high ratings. Not sure how much any of you were following the “Boycott Bowl” Festivities but... Edited February 4, 2019 by Kirby Jackson 1 1

The Bills are the third most important reason the Pats have had this 16 year run , after HC and QB. Of course we are interested.
RiotAct Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 too bad - it was a good game. The final result notwithstanding. 1

Not that accounts for the majority, definitely part of it was due to the pats. I even live in Atlanta and didn't check out any of the week's activities. No desire to wade into the sea of #12 and #87 jerseys. Can't wait to see how many of their die hard fans bail after Belichick's retirement.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Like the Packers before them, the Patriots prove one thing about cold weather cities: long term success is predicated on exceptional coaching and player selection. No matter what you may lose to free agency because you're a cold weather city, and even if you have little to offer such as Green Bay, what you bring in and how you coach it up is what matters most. The Pats continually pick late in the draft, yet they come up with guys like Michel, who become major contributors early on. It's a lesson for any city considered somewhat unattractive, lest we forget the Levy/Kelly years.
boyst Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 People don't care about the pats. I watched 2 minutes then went back to family guy.

Brady vs. Brees would have resulted in sky-high ratings. I agree the ratings would have been higher but I still believe that there's a lot more people than you think who couldn't be arsed watching Brady in the Superbowl.

Defense! ???? Quote To put that in the starkest light of day, that’s a dip of more than 5% from Super Bowl LII February 4, 2018 Defense! Defense! may have hit the rating #'s in the later time slots. With the expectations of a 33 to 30 type game people would have kept watching. With a 0 - 0 score at the half, then people would turn the channel. Los Angeles is supposed to be THE biggest TV market. So what happened? I'd venture to say that the ratings were bad because America is sick and tired of watching Tainted Tom Brady and Bill Belicheat all the time Edited February 4, 2019 by ShadyBillsFan 5
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 ?♂️ I watched the first half, turned to something else through the halftime show, and watched the second half until the 4th quarter pick. It was pretty enjoyable football to watch while it was still in reach for both teams. I cant say any of the commercials were memorable, and I had absolutely 0 interest in the halftime show. 1
Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Thats because non fans are easily bored without high scoring.
wagon127 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) First super bowl I did not watch in over 20 years. Basically since I was in middle school. It was awesome grocery shopping in such a quiet store. Just watched Netflix when I got home. The Patriots could have lost 50-0 and I still would have been happy I didn't watch it. So sick of the Patriots, and don't want them in the Super Bowl win or lose. Edited February 4, 2019 by wagon127 1 1

Only when Buffalo has an offense for the first time in the 21st Century...hopefully the old guard of defense defense defense will fade away and we can start enjoying football in the 21st Century. did you watch the game yesterday?

Isn't this traditionally the way it goes? Buffalo is top 5 every year?
Homey D. Clown Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I never even turned it on. First superbowl I haven't watched since i was a kid. I knew the cheatriots were going to win, and i'm very sure theyre still doing something dirty ti win. call it sour grapes, i don't care. 1
