I understand your point, but most real football fans I know appreciate the whole game, which includes defense. These 52-45 shoot outs that some people enjoy don't interest me or many others I know. I start flipping channels and looking for something more interesting than watching teams parade up and down the field. I relate a football game to a good story. There has to be CONFLICT in order to develop the plot of a story. When there is no defense or resistance to the offense, the offense has no struggle and may as well be scrimmaging against air. I don't want a book with no conflict, and I don't want a football game with no conflict. If you enjoy that, though, knock yourself out. Roll Tide! One addition- I'm not saying that I expect most people to enjoy 9-6 games. However, people who know football also know that game with LSU was about great defense and not bad offenses. I have seen a few horrible 9-6 type games, too, because those were low scoring due to inept offenses.
