I'm getting a little ticked about the media dissing of the D's---
Sort of came to a head on Sunday when some of the talking heads were talking about the Houston - Atlanta game and one stated that three Atlanta players would each put up 100 yds against Houston. Another responded "Against the Houston Defense???" to which he replied "Doesn't matter".
I was curious so this am I went to the team stats and figured out that the five top defenses in the league [Jacksonville, Pitt, Houston, Balt and San Fran] had a combined record of 40 and 19 while the top five offenses [NO, NE, Philly, GB and Carolina] had a combined record of 38-22 [including GB's perfect record. -
Stats are what they are and it probably doesn't mean much - but I just wish the "elite defenses" would get a little media love too.
I've vented - feel better now :respect

Outside of the teams with traditionally good defenses (mainly Pitt and us) people are interested in offense.

It'll happen when fantasy football begins assigning points to individual defensive players/positions.
"A lot" is a two word expression denoting a great deal or greatly, as in "I like sunshine a lot." "Alot" is a lovable imaginary grammar monster. You can love a lot; you can love an alot; you can love alots a lot; but they are not the same thing.

To me it's as simple as watching a dominant offensive performance is more exciting to most fans than a dominant defensive performance. Key word most...
