Today's NFL should have a decent amount of offense per game, so I think it does lean towards "bad" being low scoring, and more specifically inept offense.
I also put 'should' in italics because there's a lot of bad football that stems from a lot of bad quarterbacks..and defenses generally get labeled good after playing terrible offenses every week.
That said... the line between a good 28ppg offense and last night is scoring one TD per quarter or one FG per quarter. It's still a pretty fine line for even the best offenses in the league, so I wouldn't at all say ALL low scoring games are bad.
The flip side.... yeah, I think when there's zero resistance for offenses, it's not good football, either. It's still more entertaining than bad offense, IMO. If teams aren't even having to convert 3rd downs and it's just wide open receivers and gaping holes on both sides, it's not great. But, even Bills/Chiefs last season had several big 3rd/4th down conversions, so I think the bar is set pretty high on those games before crazy gets too crazy.
There are a lot more over the top offensive games in college than the NFL, and I'd still rather watch those than the ineptness of many NFL offenses.
