A bad game was made worse by CBS’ disappointing production. "Viewers have been spoiled the last eight years with mostly quality games (sans Super Bowl XLVIII), but this game had zero flow. Nor did the broadcast," says Richard Deitsch. "CBS has had much better days, including excellent work at the AFC championship. Super Bowl 50 felt mostly jarring as a viewer, highlighted by a lack of replays and audio issues. Social media was flooded with complaints about hearing someone in CBS’s production truck counting down to a commercial on multiple breaks as well as the broadcast feeling too graphic heavy throughout and especially at the game’s end.” PLUS: Letterman returns to CBS for a pregame bearded cameo, CBS botched how many head coaches have won Super Bowls as player and coach, Austrian TV had a way better Super Bowl intro than CBS, and Budweiser says it did not pay Peyton Manning to mention Budweiser after the game.

The band’s outfits reinforced all the complaints about them headlining this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. "They wore gray, slate blue, musky brown, dusty black,” says Jon Caramanica. "Visually, it made them the void at the center of a riot of exuberance. Such was the case musically as well: Coldplay was the center of the show but functioned more as a stagehand than an actual performer, making sure things were properly aligned so that the night’s true event could go off without a hitch.” PLUS: Even Beyonce and Bruno Mars couldn’t save the halftime show, how Beyonce won the Super Bowl, Coldplay was Beyonce’s left shark, Coldplay became the third wheel of its own halftime show, Taraji P. Henson mistakes Coldplay for Maroon 5, and the Internet labels Chris Martin the Super Bowl’s biggest loser.
