I hope we can reverse the scheme of letting our defense slug it out for 15 rounds and hold on to a split decision at the end of the game philosophy of football.
The best defense is a dominant offense.
Only time will tell. Here's to hoping for great things to come...

Tell me how well incredible offenses worked for the Colts, or for Michigan, etc.
You didn't offer an opinion, you stated that Nugent, one of the best kickers in a long time, being recognized for his dominance is not good.
Do we need a better offense? Yes... but any good coach will take a great D and average O vs. the opposite anyday of the week.
It would be very hard to compile more NFL talent (that was utilized fairly well) than Miami had. Yet we went in there with a very mundane offense, and BEAT them. On paper, we could never compare to their offensive firepower (sure jenkins and clarett were good, but they did have more talent on O... the other squads are a different story). Did it matter then?
Defense wins championships. Let me know the next time you hear coaches teaching their kids that offense wins championships. You need offense too, but D always comes first.
