Reminder: Defense wins championships

[Hawkeye0202]

Nothing new........we all know this. It's why who/how they replace Quinn ( if he leaves ) will be the key to MM getting his extension

 

[kuyyo_morro]

But we had a defense who was better than 85 Bears.

 

[Creeper]

These 3 teams play tough, physical defense. They get in your face and challenge offenses. Exactly the opposite of Quinn's defenses the last couple of months.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Weren't we number four in fewest point per game given up?

 

[big dog cowboy]

I just checked. Aaron Jones just gashed us for another 15 yard run.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

NM, we were 5, Bills were 4.

 

[ShiningStar]

so what you are saying is?

no one can win the SB without a good defense?

No one said that D is all it takes.

Highly Highly unlikely. The one year where Brady went to a super bowl w/ a poor D was in 2017, and he lost due to that poor D.

its very likely./ no team has ever won the SB and been told, Nope, you cant win it, no good defense.

Plenty of teams win with a average defense.

Points win you the SB, everything else is a non factor.

Yes! See 2007 Patriots



Despite his record-breaking 2007 season, Moss was relatively quiet in the playoffs, going two consecutive games without a touchdown for the first time all season. The Patriots defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Divisional Round and the San Diego Chargers in the AFC Championship.[189][190] However, in Super Bowl XLII, against the New York Giants, he scored the go-ahead touchdown with 2:42 left in the fourth quarter on a six-yard pass from Tom Brady. The score was not enough for the heavily favored Patriots to end their only undefeated season with a Super Bowl win. Eli Manning drove the Giants down the field, connecting with Plaxico Burress for the game-winning touchdown and an upset over the Patriots. Two deep throws from Brady to Moss on 3rd & 20 and 4th & 20 on the Patriots final drive fell incomplete

Sign the best DT and MLB in free agency. No "honest offers" allowed, just get it done. Draft another LB early. It's not going to solve everything but at least you give the D a chance to succeed.

I will give the credit for the Gilmore and Cooks additions last year, but it's time to step it up another notch. Stop skirting on the edges in free agency.

The D is close. I still think the 34 D is the best route. A lot easier to find 34 OLB’s than quality DE’s. We already have the best one out there.

Sometimes you just have to give them the D to get the V.

And DET has an emerging D that isn't terrible. They are 2nd in run D, just FYI.

 

[kskboys]

Absolutely. It's almost impossible to win the super bowl w/o at least a decent D.

I prefer a 36 double D myself.

Think Bigger!

I prefer a whatever's in my hand myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be greedy.

But I prefer the worse grade F. Haha.
