A 'B' defense gets off the field on third down, doesn't give up the big play, gets a turnover every once in a while, like once a game, contains the run, and pressures the QB. At this point I'd take a 'B-' or a C defense that does many of these items on a consistent basis. An 'A' offense wins games, not lose them. The offense was just as much to blame in the Atlanta and Cleveland losses as the defense. I really hope not to see those kinds of mistakes going down the stretch. SFIAH |
Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO
Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good. |

No team in the top 3 in rushing has won. The worst rushing team in the league has won the Super Bowl. Since 2000, there have been 6 Super Bowl winners that have had top 10 rushing games and there have been 5 Super Bowl winners that have been in the bottom 10 in rushing. The average rank of the Super Bowl winning teams rushing game is 15th. Since the turn of the century, there doesn't seem to be a correlation between rushing yards per game and winning the Super Bowl. It's always good to have a great rushing game, in the same way it's good to have great passing game, great special teams or great defense, but it's just part of a bigger picture. Every team is built differently. |
