From the ground... to the air... back to the ground?

... interesting conundrum, but I can't see the NFL returning to the single-score, grind-'em-out games of the 60's/70's ... they'll lose their fanbase.

I actually prefer the defensive games; but good luck trying to hold Brees to 1-2 scores

I prefer 'em too ... but imagine if they went back to the coverage rules of the 60's/70's? Drew would still put up the points, but he'd work a lot harder at it ... it'd seperate the men-from-the-boys in the QB ranks, that's for sure.
