Lately as been said, a team does not need a great defense, just a decent defense, IF they have a high powered offense.
I believe that to be more true now than what I used to believe. At least for the regular season, and can work for the playoffs as well.
I was and still am, a strong believer that a team needs the tough defense. And this defense is not as good as it seems, not yet. But they will get better. Get some players back will help.
But I am turning on that a little bit. Have a top 12 defenses, or be plying like it, you can go a long way into the playoffs.
Yesterday as I was watching some college football. They were talking about this, as even in college, well probably more so in college. You just need your defense to be good enough, if your offense is a powerhouse. It was the Ohio State game, as they have the best offense in the NCAA, but the defense is starting to get better. Right now, they are just ok, not great.
We know we have the offense, but can the defense step it up. As they will need to when we play the better teams with a very good offense.
Vikings can have a good offense at times, KC, maybe the Raiders as they have looked it at times. Cardinals for sure. All the other teams are not that great. I won't say the Saints are even that decent but could be at times. Thing is none of the teams left on the schedule has a great defense. My most concerns is if the Vikings defense has a good game as they can, the Raiders possibly, but both can be scored on as well. Cardinals, maybe, I have not looked on how their defense is playing, Saints seems to have a decent defense also. WFT does not scare me. Matter of fact, none of those defenses scare me.
