DEFENSE wins CHAMPIONSHIPS people!

[rodeo]

the top teams are balanced. if our D is ranked 23, all we have to do is get our offense up to 23 and we'll be balanced and win teh games!

We were 23rd in rush defense. DT is important for us, yes.

being ranked 5th in rush plays called against us and 7th in yards gained per rush kinda negates that a bit doesn't it

I dont care where the Steelers rank in O/D, when you put that many points on the Ravens you have a damn good offense.

That's among post-season teams, which are only 12 with only 1-2 games played.

I hope we trade back and grab some more picks. It's a crappy year to have #1 overall. Luck did us wrong

7th in YPC against is pretty awesome for how bad we were overall.

DT isn't a need.

This is exactly my point! Both Offense and Defense is equally important, and goes without saying (Well at lease I thought it did). My point is that I would prefer a dominating Defense over a High Powered offense. Also I think we all can agree that DT is the most needed piece on our Defense that's why I said Fairley over Green.

when you have just a good defense, you get 3 winning seasons out of 9...

we are so used to Foxball it's sad.. lol

The Steelers #1 defense allowed 14.4 points a game. Our offense averaged a whopping 12.2 points per game. If my math is right if were had the the defense of the steelers with our offense now the other team still has more points then us at the end of the game therefore we lose. Balance is the key and were at opposite ends of the spectrum right now.

You're right my friend, but there aren't many teams with both. I seriously wonder why that is!
