Defense wins championships (5 Viewers)

[TribuneUK]

The Super Bowl LIX MVP told everyone in the postgame that simple, abiding fact.

“Defense wins championships,” Hurts said. “We saw how they played today. We saw the difference they made in the game. They gave us opportunities, gave us short fields. And we’re able to do what we do.”

Vic Fangio was the MVP of this one.

Remember this when you're screaming for 'offensive playmakers' this draft season.

They completely dismantled KC’s offensive line. The talent on that Eagles team is unbelievable.

I felt as if I was watching the Dome Patrol Defense last night!

I love the pressure that a 3-4 D can bring without having to blitz!

Yea the defense played great. I mean their offense put up 40, but that's not what wins championships.

How many years did we have when we had Drew with a top 5 defense and were playoff competitive? Maybe a couple times? Would need to research that. It makes a HUGE difference.

I remember many times we were #1-5 offense and 20's defense.

Since we're doing superficial cliches, the best defense is a good offense. So, even if defense truly wins championships, then the best defense is a good offense.

The Saints during the era of the Dome Patrol had historically top level defenses. They rarely made it to the playoffs and they never won one.

What wins championships is a solid, well balanced team and some good fortune with the uncontrollable factors, like the literal bounce of the ball.

None of you guys watch Cobra Kai it seems. You need balance. LOL

Like my own sig (should) say, balance is key but the correlation between top flight defences and SB wins is undeniable.

It's just something the O obsessives need to keep being reminded of...

I will take no further questions

Put up 33. Unless the pick 6 was from the offense.

Ok 34. Thirty four points? P-U no thanks. Kellen Moore, stay put. We don't need that kinda junk over here.

The Eagles offense, as good as they were, did benefit from a few short fields thanks to the D.

The Dome patrol was from 1986 - 1992... Swilling was traded after the 1992 season



We went to the Playoffs... & not rarely...
You have to remember this is when the Eddie DeBartolo was overpaying & outbidding everyone for free agents..

They're Checking the Standings Before the Ledger : Eddie DeBartolo Jr.: 49er owner knows what he wants and is willing to spend whatever he thinks is necessary to get it.

Eddie DeBartolo Jr., who has owned the San Francisco 49ers since 1977, isn't much like anyone else in pro football.

The NFL didn't have as many wild card teams... A winning season didn't guarantee you a playoff spot.
We also had Carl Smith as our OC & as you stated we weren't a very balanced team...
His Offense was very predictable... especially bad in the playoffs!

Defense does win championships, unfortunately our defense is
A) arse
B) washed
C) trash
D) all of the above

Eagles defense smothers Mahomes and dominates Kansas City in franchise's second Super Bowl win

Cooper DeJean took one to the house, Zack Baun made a pick in his old professional home and the Eagles defense so thoroughly thrashed Patrick Mahomes that by the time Kendrick Lamar had “Game Over” brightened in the Superdome stands to end his halftime set, it was just as clear, so too, was the...

Indeed. That defense put the offense in position to look unstoppable.

The Dome Patrol did the same thing against the Eagles, we just didn’t have a quarterback who could capitalize.
