All else being equal, guys throwing 50 yard bombs and running reverses for brobdingnagian gains are more entertaining than grinding out  4 to 5 yard runs between the tackles, and 51 - 49 scores with "video game stats" appeal to most people more than 10 - 7 defensive slugfests (though personally, I have no problems with consistently partying in the opponent's backfield).  Still, I'm sure everyone here would rather win 10-7 games by grinding out 4 to 5 yard runs than be on the losing end of a 51-49 score where we nonetheless threw 50 yard bombs and ran numerous reverses for big gains.  The real problem comes when we lose and play boring.
