Doubling down with the "shame" nonsense, lol.
Happy Thanksgiving Deus, you crusty ole bugger!
Which coach did a good job in the final two minutes?
Which QB showed good pocket play?
Which defensive backfield played well?
When did a 7 turnover game become a good thing?
When did a 21 penalty game become a good thing?
Again, I don't mind differences of opinion (and, given that the player who is perhaps my biggest personnel error ever, in any sport, was playing in that game (Aaron Donald), I am certainly mindful of the fact that my opinion is not always the correct one), but I mind obviously ridiculous takes.
'Classic', in the sense of the word meant by people calling this game an instant classic, refers to a great game that will stand the test of time. Historically, such games usually have some mix of the following:
Greatness of play (Chargers v. Dolphins 1982)
Elevated stakes (extraordinarily important regular season game, playoffs, etc...
Freakish environment or happenings (snow bowl, ice bowl, etc...)
None of that was really present here, though you might stretch to get one of the 3 by trying to argue that a week 10 interconference game between conference leaders is something crucial.
