Which Would You Rather Have?

I think you're better off with a shut-down D and a lousy O than the other way around. And I think it's far more likely to happen this year, too.

I don't think your team ends up very good in either scenario, so I'd rather take the one that's more enjoyable to watch. Just thinking back to 2006 when our defense was a seive, I could barely watch the team. I didn't even want our offense to score, I just wanted them to stay out on the field to keep our defense on the sidelines. But in 2004, when our D was dominant and our offense sucked, I had a great time watching each game.

Defensive games are exciting to me. Games that go 42-35 just feel like I'm watching Tecmo Super Bowl.

I'll take the defense. Reason being, we lost every game except one by 8 points or less. We blew 5 halftime leads. Our offense was inches away from being an 11 or 12 win team. Our defense was fantastic most of the year. If we attack just a little bit more (like we did after JC went down), we're in good shape. Plus it's hard to think we'll have to deal with even half the serious injuries we did this year.

But what happens when that high octane offense meets a lock down defense?

Look at how the Raiders fell in Supebowl to Tampa. We need big D!

lets not forget about the skins loss to the raiders,highest scoring team ever up to the vikings who also lost to the falcons{cant remember how good the falcons def was} now the pats,highest scoring team ever,lets see how they do
Having said that,I'm all for the off,I'm sick of not scoring any points,its been years since we were good on off,probably sinnce Gibbs 1.0
Even if we were last in def so long as we were top 5 in off I would take it,at least the games would be exciting as hell and I'm used to seeing the games come down to the wire anyway

How was '04 with our top 10 defense and #31 offense?

In '06, our offense was ranked in the 20's also. If you can't score, you don't win. It's quite simple really.

I just noticed your sig,thats hilarious:goodjob:
