The Tampa 2 defense has been exploited (see 2006 Redskins and Buccaneers), so your example doesn't hold water, as that was 5 years ago, and even since then, the NFL continues to evolve.
Seeing as the defense was ranked in the Top 10, we could stand to go down a bit on defense and still be competitive on that side of the ball. Wins usually come from scoring more points than the other team, and if you cannot score, then you usually don't win (see Ravens in any year their D is suspect).
I'll take offense, and with the evolution of Jason Campbell and a healthy offensive line, they should be better than last year. Theoretically speaking of course.
