"le defense wins championships"

>"le defense wins championships"
>The two best defenses in the NFL are knocked out in the first round

Explain this retards

They were unlucky. Had to face the best offenses.

meme shit people say

also osweiler was so bad he managed to near-singlehandedly give the pats 31 points

>Oakland Raiders: 26th ranked defense
>Detroit Lions: 18th ranked defense
>New York Giants: 10th ranked defense
>Miami Dolphins: 29th ranked defense
>First round

Here is your (You)

>first round
Kill yourself

and when the chiefs lose later today this meme can finally die

Well actually Texans beat the Raiders and the Seahawks beat the Lions in the wildcard.

Patriots and Falcons have extremely well offensive.

Good Offense > Good Defense

you also have to have a competent offense.

The only good defense that lost in the wildcard round was NYG. Both Seattle and Houston lost in the divisional (2nd) round.

Giants defense is way better than their ranking. Eli just gifts 3 picks a game.

That's equally if not even a more retarded statement.

Balanced teams win championships.

>defense wins championships
>the best defense is a good offense

The Texans had a good enough defense to win. The problem is that their offense is fucking horrible. A decent QB and receivers that don't drop passes would have won them the game yesterday.

I don't know how this isn't the most obvious fucking thing in the world.

pats have the best defense

>baby-tier schedule
>best defense

3rd best defense actually

the team that wins the super bowl has the best defense shithead

best defenses lost the playoff games
best defense will win the championship

It means in general, a great defense is better to have than a great offense. It does mean it ALWAYS, without fail, wins.

You're a mental midget

Giants blew it due to lack of discipline.

Partying on a boat as if you already won the SB is a sure recipe for failure. If the coach can't keep a bunch of immature "men" in line then thats on him too. Winning a SB requires total focus and commitment. You gotta eat, sleep, and breathe football until the job is done.. and also punish anyone who deviates from that: this is why Belichick is so good.

how can i explain something that's so patently false as you so masterfully showed

> It *does mean it ALWAYS, without fail, wins.

*doesn't

Yeah, are we forgetting the Broncos already?

The Patriots were the best defense in the NFL on a PPG basis

>it was eli's FAULT!!!!

no it wasn't you dipshit

eli and the third string hb with the long ass dreadlocks were the only productive members not called the offensive line that game

Pats always have inflated ppg defensive stats because their offense quickly blows out shit teams and forces them to throw a bunch. Bad QBs can't keep up and it pads their D stats.

The best 2 QBs the Pats have played this year? Unironically Russell Wilson and Joe Flacco.

Pats defense is going to get exposed hard vs a good QB.

>gronk

Your defense only has to be good enough to let your offence do its job. You can only stop a good offense for so long.

Yeah and he's probably going to be traded from the pats because he's always injured too.

To be fair the Seahawks stopped being a top defense once Earl Thomas got hurt. After that they were more of an average D.

playoffs aint the regular season, boy!

without precise computation we could fly right through the endzone

or bounce too close to some fat fuck coach like Rex Ryan

and that'd end your trip to the superb owl real quick, wouldn't it?

So who has the best defence?

The Panthers had the best offense last year and the Broncos beat their brains in in the Super Bowl despite having no answer to the Panthers' defense.

Left in the playoffs?
Patriots.
It was Houston before they lost yesterday

>the offensive line
>nyg

Literally the worst part of the fucking team

>Denver Broncos under Manning
Dumbasses

Chiefs have more top tier talent on it.

...

Unfortunately the Texans had Osweiler throwing the ball for them, a man that has the 29th lowest passer rating in the league this season. The Texans defense kept them in touching distance all the way into the 3rd quarter though.

They're opportunistic is what makes them good. Those are the defense that win owls, not the yards allowed meme.

That saying comes from a time when the league allowed defenders to actually tackle people.

>2 images
This fucking board sucks. Just post an image.

Defense literally won the last 3 championships you dumbass.
>Broncos D killed the Panthers
>Butler interception
>Seahawks D shutting down a historic Broncos offense
>Giants 2 wins over the Patriots there Defense manhandled Tom Brady and even forced a safety in the Super Bowl
>the 3 early Brady Owls were all one on the backs of strong defenses
>2002 Buccaneers
>2000 Ravens
>90's Cowboys had a great D
>80's Niners had a great
>Steel Curtain
Every dominant team had a GOAT D or a strong balance of Great D Great offense. I wish we could gas all the causal football fans who ask these dumb questions.

Good point. People are very reactionary, and point to a single year as anything more than a statistical anomaly.

No.

cheeky

I always love this GIF because the batter doesn't even look mad he looks like he is about to laugh in disbelief.

defense wins championships =/= the BEST defense wins the championship

fucking moron

that said, the trite "defense wins championships" meme is a fucking cancer only spewed by the most casual of casuals.

Broncos Offense was turrible last year

Their D just went berserk killed Brady and Cam and dragged them across the finish line

>offense quickly blows out shit teams and forces them to throw a bunch.

then why arent other teams getting easy garbage time tds
