watching a dominating defense is always an adrenaline rush.

i don't care for quick strike big play high powered offenses. imo, they're almost as boring as an anemic 3 and out offense. there's nothing more demoralizing to an opposing defense than having a methodical smash mouth offense consistently run 15-20 plays up and down the field and put up points.

Love both.

I love a physical, aggressive defense, and a physical offense.

I'd rather watch j. Stewart run over and through defenders, than any rb run for the sideline.

I love watching Steve Smith take out blockers while a teammate scores. I love watching steve smith fight for the ball.

I love watching great front sevens harass an opposing offensive line, rb, qb.

I love to see a rb stoodup behind the line if scrimmage.

I even love watching Gamble take out Culpepper, even though that play ended culoeppers career.

Agree with everything you said but seeing D Will score a long TD run is just electrifying IMO.

Love watching a solid offense.. When the team is playing together, methodically moving down the field, it's a thing of beauty. Really, is there anything finer than watching the O grind out a few decent runs, 4-7yds a pop then drawin the D in on a run formation only to hit a deep pass or screen for 40+?

Pick 6, maybe.. Or a D lineman rumblin down the field with the fumble he just recovered. I can appreciate both sides, but defense just gets me.. It's even more rewarding watching the defense stop the better offenses, than vice versa. It's a different confidence knowin that they can't score on us than knowin we can outscore them. What gets you more excited, Smitty 70yd TD catch or a 40yd return TD from 1 of the Josh's or Captain? Tough call....

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
