Here's the reality of the situation (It ain't pretty)

You can have all the defense you want. If you can't score, that defense doesn't mean a lick of a ****.

Tell that to the Ravens, The Bucs, and the Bears who all went to a SB and won two out of three with just defense all in this last decade.

Of course you have to score, but having an elite defense year in and year out can typically keep you at the top of the league for many years. The Saints had great offenses for years, but didn't get to a SB, until they put a really good defense together. The only year the Colts went to the SB was the year they really turned on the D in the post season when Sanders came back and dominated like crazy and when they had one of the best defenses in the league when they lost to the Saints with the Manning pick 6.


I think the easiest proven formula that wins a SB or makes you a top team year in and year out is having a great QB with a very good defense where the rest of the team sort of falls in place. Great defense and a great QB is what wins it all in the end.
 
Yeah I definitely understand. I think I'd rather have a great offense and a good defense than a great defense and a good offense. I just hate situations where teams (like the Jets) have this strong D but they can't win because they simply cannot score. I just think its a waste. Gotta have an all-time D to have a situation where you win with a thoroughly inept scoring offense.

Because I'd trust my guys to score more than yours regardless. Just get one or two stops and who cares otherwise.

Top 2 or 3 offense with a defense somewhere between 10 and 15.

Those Ravens/Bucs Ds were all-time Ds though, and I recall the Bears' D being a bit better than ours (dont know statistically or anything though, maybe not?). Made it easier to win with Dilfer, Johnson, and get there with Grossman.

I don't know, we'll see what happens. Still think Andre's key. Spacing is everything for this offense.

Outcome positive

Reason irrelevant.

I'm happy. Lets go to Baltimore and see if they choke. My Steeler fan side is now focused entirely on a Steelers win in New England. That creates my dream scenario which is Steelers at Texans for AFC Championship and trip to the Super Bowl.

Let it be so.
 
If they play like they did today next weekend ..... They could leave Baltimore winners.


Im not looking at next season till they are knocked out of this one .... :trophy:

The Steelers coming to Houston for an AFC CG IS adream scenario. Too bad the Cowpies couldn't get into the playoffs and hold up their end of the dream scenario. Baltimore, Pitt and NE are winnable for us, if we see some O like we did today. TJ and AJ will continue to gain some chemistry, so why not a Hou/GB Super Bowl with Hou winning?

I've been saying for the last couple of weeks, this game plan gives us the best chance to win, defense, running the ball & smart play from the QB.

He may need to throw it more next week, if we get down, or struggle to run the ball, but if I had my rathers, it would look like the Jags game.

But I'm sure our first priority Monday, we'll go over the Baltimore. Game & identify why we were able to run when we did & why we couldn't when we didn't.

Yeah , seems like they solved that riddle against the Bengals as they held Foster to 15 carries and 42 yards in that first meeting .... Today Foster ran wild on them.
 
So no Steelers @ Houston AFC Championship Game. Guess we need to beat Baltimore somehow and get our Tebow-mania caps on.

Denver @ New England is Saturday so both the Texans and Ravens will know if a trip to New England is the reward for a win or getting to host the AFCCG is the prize. I wonder if that will be on anyones mind come game-time? I think if Denver pulls out a win somehow that you could make a case for potential distraction for either team.

And the way the stars are aligning for Denver, I'm not so sure both Baltimore and Houston wouldn't rather travel to New England anyway. :lol:
