Which Would You Rather Have?

Which would you rather have for the 08' season? An offense that is ranked among the best in the league with a drop off in defense, or for the defense to continue being solid with the offense maintaining the same output as '07? Choose one option and tell me why.

Whichever one gives us more wins

Well obviously, but which do you think gives us the best chance at winning at least as many games we did this year or more?

Whichever one gives us more wins

Exactly. I couldnt give a damn about rankings, last time I checked wins were all that was counted.

Rankings? You want to talk about rankings. we don't even have a head coach. Talking about rankins!

You guys are completely missing the point. Of course a wins a win. But, I'm asking, which do you think we have the better chance at winning with? A team that has an improved offense but a defense that has dropped off (I'm not talking in regards to stats alone but performance) or basically the same offensive and defensive output of this year. Which do you think gives us a better chance at being successful? A potent offense or a stingy defense?

I would rather have an offense in the top 5 meaning that we are scoring lots of points. In today's NFL you have to score points. Let's face it is more easy to beat teams by out scoring them than it is to shut the opposing team down. Our defense will not be the '85 Bears or the 2000 Ravens. I do believe that our offense could step up in this west coast offense.

I think you have to put points on the board. I think one of the biggest problems we faced last year was an inability to score touchdowns consistently. Too often we had to settle for field goals leaving little margin for error. But a good offense isn't just about scoring points it's about controlling the clock and setting the tempo of the game.

If you look at the teams that went far in the playoffs this year, they all had the common denominator of being high scoring teams. Give me 28 points on offense over keeping a team to 17 pts on defense any day. I think you win more games by outscoring your opponents than you do by trying to stifle them.

Exactly. The NFL is an offense oriented league now.
