LabattBlue Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Assuming in the salary cap era it is difficult to have a great offense AND a great defense.... - I take a great offense every day of the week. - A great offense is more exciting. - A great offense can always get you back in the game(see KC last night). - If your team with a great defense and bad offense goes down 17 points in the 2nd half...GAME OVER. So how does this get fixed in Buffalo? Hire an offensive genius, and not a guy who is clueless in terms of offense(McClappy). How else do you explain a guy who routinely brings in endless defense players for tryouts, but is doing little to nothing to improve the WORST WR corp in the league. How many more years of bad offensive football before the Bills have an offense like KC, NE, NO, PIT, LAC, LAR, TB, PHI, etc...

Ramza86 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Probably the offense....but at the end of the day....the weak side will fail you in a big way. See Chiefs D last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I don’t know. I’ve gotta look at the tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I love having a great defense...the problem is, there's nothing to say that having a great defense also means you have to have a historically awful offense. With even a below-average offense, this team would win quite a few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Defense, but obviously not with a completely anemic offense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) The last six times the #1 NFL offense met the #1 NFL defense, the offense won. I hope you watched the 2015 Broncos or the LOB Seahawks. Those types of defenses are going to become rarer and rarer.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Defense wins championships with a decent QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 It’s not ever close in today’s nfl. It is so much easier to find defensive players and a good DC, than the other way. Wade Phillips was on twitter begging for jobs. if you draft a qb, you need an offensive head coach. If you inherited a franchise qb, then a defensive head coach is fine. But this league wants you to pass and score. The Bills are in another league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'd rather have a great defense and a mediocre offense. Our offense might be the worst offense I've ever seen. EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 offense and offensive schemes are sustainable over long periods of time... defenses are at best good for 4-5 years. Give me a great offense every single day. KC btw ranked 32 right now in total D... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 The league wants high scoring games which is why they've put QB's in skirts. You've gotta give em what they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 No matter how good your defense is, if your offense can't score points you are screwed. We're seeing that this year. But as long as you have even a 20th ranked offense, I'd take a great defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan5121 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I know some people don’t like the morning show on WGR, but Jeremy white said something the first hour that stood out. I don’t recall if this was his thought or if he was repeating somebody else. Maybe not the exact quote, but he said something along the lines of, “if you have the best offense in the league with the worst defense, you’re the chiefs. If you have the best defense in the league with the worst offense, you’re the Bills.” That sums up my answer. Which team would you rather have right now?

Big Turk Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 A great offense...year to year there is a much higher correlation for offenses than defenses being good in consecutive years... Also with all the rules slanted towards offense now, it will be harder and harder for defenses to be consistently good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
