Yes we have played bad offenses, but we have played good ones and mediocre ones as well. It balances out in the end, as it does with every team in the league.

And the TOP argument has some merit, but what I havent seen pointed out is that the Def generating turnovers and getting off the field on third downs puts the Off back on the field to generate TOP. Without those stops the Off has less opportuninties and less TOP. Circle of life.

Exactly. This is called a good football team. Offense makes the defense better and defense makes the offense better. You design one to take advantage of what the other does well. Beautiful.

This X2.

Love it, just need to keep it up. Rankings be damned, I think we have a good enough mixture of vets with experience + up and coming rooks to help keep them focused and deal with success. Gonna be a great ride.
