Can’t be any clearer after watching these playoff games....

And last year too in the Super Bowl


Defense wins championships.


Enough with this infatuation with the oline


Every winning team so far has done “enough” on offense but has DOMINATED the defensive side, giving their offense more opportunities to score

Draft defense at 4
Draft PBA r2
Big fa contract goes to edge player
Sign jags at tackle

Yes defense wins  
section125 : 1/11/2020 8:59 pm : link
no doubt. But keeping your QB standing is just as important. You still need to score.

Yeah. It didn't work.

The problem with this philosophy is that the defense has to play out of it's mind, and if there are any mistakes, or you lose a key player on defense, you're screwed.

The Patriots defense certainly won the Super Bowl for them. But to get there, they had to score 37 and 41 points in previous 2 rounds. Or do only the games that prove your point matter?

You need talent on both sides of the ball. And in between, as I’m sure Coach Judge will attest.

Omg you are so dense

Of course you need to outscore your opponent

Of course you want to be good on both sides of theballl


The point is where are the nyg most deficient and where will they get the biggest additions to winning games. It’s focusing on the defense and not the oline.

They scored 14 points for all that running. It was the DEFENSE that won them that game.

2) You can do a lot with a great D and get by with a competent one with a great O

Equifinality, boys. More than one way to get to a result. But, right now we need to just get to competent on at least one side of the ball.

but for the most part, championship teams play solid defense and they can run the ball.

That was the case with every Superbowl we won too.
OP is wrong  
giantstock : 1/11/2020 9:29 pm : link
Just look at last year with KC and the Rams. Remember Atlanta. You can't go ignore prior seasons because it doesn't fit your argument.

Take a look at the last 6 years the Super Bowl teams. All expect one in top 8 in offensive efficiency according to footballoutsiders.

**The Giants need to run football. The OP doesn't seem to understand that there are two sides - offense and defense. The Giants can't run the football with this current crappy OLINE.

The Gins need help from BOTH offense and defense. Let's get over our youth and stop pretending that this is 1986 etc.

And we see which posters are living in the past and only believe there is one side of football.

Plus why are you making up stuff about other posters and DG? Are you trying to suggest that if you think DG has been grossly negligent in building an OLINE these past 2 years that that means they are are trolls and shills for Gettleman?

This is why I said in prior post-- something doesn't fit your narrative you make things up. Otherwise please explain how some of us who think DG has been grossly incompetent building an OLINE are are trolls and shills for Gettleman.

Dikd anyone actually say you are 100% wrong, and if not, than why the fuck is it in quotes? Seems like "made up bullshit".

Defense wins championships is more of a tagline than anything else.

We were competitive until DRC got hurt and then the defense couldn’t do anything. The offense was putrid all season. They were never winning a shoot out.

Lmao ?

What’s to protect?

The proof is in how these teams have won their games


Some will argue that holding the pats to 13 points is worth LESS than Derrick Henry running for 180 yards


Some people will argue that the 49ers having a complete defense, being able to rush the passer and cover the pass, is worth less than having a 100 yard rusher

I just watched a running back go for almost 200 yards.

TN offensive line was key to this win.

Controlling the LOS, on both sides, is the key to competing.

TN made a two key stops on 4th and 1's that had a great impact on this game from a defensive perspective.
