Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 What do you prefer a offense that literally is unstoppable but has a defense that is literally can't stop a pee wee football team. Or a defense that resembles the 85 bears steel curtain of the 70's but has an offense that everytime they take the field getting 10 yards and a first down is an achievement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 You need to have balance in all three phases. For example, if all you have is a good offense and your defense and SpT suck, other teams will exploit your vulnerabilities. You won't be able to outscore everyone all the time.

You become 1-dimensional and easy to game plan for. Your opponents don't have to beat you at that phase just bring you down enough that your failure in the other phases becomes insurmountable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Terrible topic. id prefer to have a great offense because then every game would be 55-54. I’d rather watch that game over a game that is 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So before I entertain your thread I have to point out the bolded. How high are you? The 85 Bears played in you know 85. The Steel Curtain was the Steelers and the 70s. My answer would be the defense. A defense can score points. A defense can get turnovers that create short fields leading to easy scores. Seriously the Patriots this year are playing this way. Against the Bills, The patriots got 3 points from a short field after a turnover and 7 points from their ST. That is 10 of their 16 points. Even against the Giants where they scored 35, they had a special teams td, a defensive score, and a 20 yard td drive after an int. Their offense put together 2 td drives all game against a not so vaunted defense. End result though was 35-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Finally a good topic. The answer is neither. I’d prefer a team that sucks on offense and defense and has a great punter.

One is as bad as the other and won't get you where you want to go. If the question was a great offense with a terrible defense vs. a great defense with a mediocre offense, then maybe it is a discussion and I'd take the great defense and mediocre offense. But in the original post, who cares? Both teams will fail. If you can't score, you can't win. And conversely, you can't make a living playing and winning shootouts every week. You're one turnover from losing every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
