That’s a common belief, but there is no magic formula. Jacksonville had the best defense in the league last year and gave up 35 points to Pittsburgh in the divisional round, then allowed a double digit lead slip away in the 4th quarter against NE in the AFC Championship game. Based upon how our Top 10 offense typically performed in the playoffs, Jacksonville’s defense wouldn’t have made a difference.
Well there is also something to be said about experience and also playing on the road in the playoffs. I would expect that if that Jacksonville D stays together (which they have) and they get to the same point again this season; they would perform better than they did the 1st time they got there, that was a very young team with not alot of experience. Give me that D for 3-4 years with Romo anyday, give me that D with Dak too
