For all you new-school fans: Do I have to say it?

Saying offense is greater than defense is subjective, especially in light of the fact that every champion since 2013--part of this era where the NFL has went out of its way to protect QBs and receivers--has had a top 10 scoring defense. 

You obviously don't usually win a championship if you don't have any offense at all, but take two teams which are prolific on offense, the one with the markedly better defense will win! Point blank!

That’s the point this isn’t the old nfl. Offense has become the focal point and will continue to do so. Your last sentence is also false the niners defense just lost to the chiefs last year and they had the number ranked D.

 

So your whole hurr durr defense wins championships is wrong, offense wins the proof is in the numbers.

I'm showing that KC's overall defense was ranked higher than San Fran's in 2019 (as well as their offense), perhaps you're looking at passing defense, but whatever. You should know that nothing is absolute! The Bucs' defense was lights out, and that's why they won against a historically good offense!

There point difference was 0.3, but over an 80 yards in ypg. At no point would anyone say the KC defense was better than SF.

KC defense was also skewed playing much weaker schedule offensively.

 

Bucs won cause the refs and KC injured line

Yeah, OK!

No.  In the new school NFL, a handful of perfectly timed bad calls wins championships.  These refs know exactly what they're doing.  They know exactly how to take the wind out of the sails that they want to take the wind out of.

Greeny just said that the team with the better scoring defense has won the Super Bowl 70 percent of the time. He also said "The old adage is true: Defense wins championships!"

It also doesn't hurt to have Mike Remmers on the opponent's offensive line. I can't stand that dude as a football player.
