Thought it was a fun game to watch. Was really impressed with how the defense on both sides played. Some real good open field tackling for an All-star game. IMO, it is tough to prepare high powered offenses in a few days of practice. Route running, pass/catch timing, etc. takes time to learn. Genereally the speedsters will excel in these games. All in all an entertaining game and well played and coached on both sides.
I do have a question. There were a number of calls that I didn't understand. One was a personal foul call. Marked as a 10 yard penalty from the spot of the foul and didn't result in a first down. Believe it was a late hit on the QB or roughing the passer. Always thought that was a 15 yard penalty from the line of scrimmage. I know they do have some rule changes for all-star games and maybe that is one of them.
For the people attending, how did you like the outside atmosphere vs. the dome games?
Also, thanks to the Shriners for making these games happen. Was a great turnout and a lot of fun.
