By loading up on one side of the ball and living with the other. Very few teams are very good offensively and defensively. You typically have to be great on one side and wish for some luck on the other.
I will vote offense every time…. But that’s just my preference. I’d rather watch a 35 - 28 game where you have a chance…than a 14 - 9 game where you lose hope of scoring by the 8 min mark in the fourth quarter
