So today I've been debating a lot on which is better:

A) Good running attack and a great defense
OR
B) A great passing game, no running game, and no defense

I think a good running attack and a great defense is better and here's why
- Control pace of game
- Dominate TOP
- Playaction
- Wear defenses down
- Excel in inclement weather against passing teams
- Hardnosed football
- Win the turnover battle
- Defense can keep you in games that your offense can't

However, there is an arguement to be made for a great passing game
- Outscore any and all opponants
- Be able to put up 30+ per game
- Late 4th Quarter comebacks
- Quick scoring drives
- Never out of a game

So the question is, which would you prefer?

You need a balanced attack. If you are 1 dimensional on offense and you play an elite pass D that shuts you down, you're screwed.
 
Id like to have a plus b ala the Minnesota vikings. Great pass rush. Good secondary. Great running backs. Amazing pass offense with out a true number one reciever. This is the route I see the fins gettin to real soon
 
Been through both.
A= two SB's wins
B= one SB Loss and a lot of heart attacks.
Ready for some more A game.
 
Well right now the Colts are hosting the AFC CHampionship game with the 32nd run offense, 2nd in Passing Pffense and 18th defense. They knocked off the Ravens number 3 defense, #5 rushing offense that was the 18th passing offense.

The Chargers are about to knock off the number 1 rushing offense, 21 passing offense and number 1 defense. The Chargers have the number 5 Passing offense, 31 rushing offense, and have number 16 defense,

When the Jets lose all of the top 5 defense are gone and all of the top 5 run teams are gone.

New Orleans is most balanced on offense number 4 passing and 6 rushing, however they are the 25th defense. They use a vertical passing game to set up giant lanes for the run.

The Vikings are the most balanced over all. They have the 13th rushing offense, 8th passing offense and 6th defense.

Seems to me the success is a vertical passing game which opens up the run, with a defense that creates turnovers and sacks. The line it up and jam it down your throat teams are getting knocked off.

Let's see who wins the superbowl. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the Vikings led by a heavy rushing attack vs the Colts.

Wouldn't surprise me either, but something to think of is the Vikings have not been running the ball late. Also they go vertical a lot which opens up the run. I just think we need to get more vertical in our passing game. We ran Ginn deep as a decoy a lot and he was open. We finally throw to him and tripping, go figure! We averaged 6.2 yards per pass attempt the Vikings, Saints and Chargers were all over 8. This alone will improve our offense.
 
The Jets are proving me right. The pass happy Chargers are have no answers for the Jets defense... I cannot believe there's a good chance we will see the Jets in the AFC Championship. Unbelievable. I sure didn't see it coming, but you gotta love how well they are playing football. They run well and play great D... formula for superbowl victories.
 
And Right After the top notch Defense.. A top notch field goal kicker
 
Well you were right! Looks like the Jets are destin to win another Superbowl in our house! :crazy::oops:
