[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 433920, member: 1007"] No it's not proven, as this year's Super Bowl confirms. You simply need to show up on gameday and give yourself a chance, something the Packers offense didn't do. The Patriots had the 31st ranked defense this year and went to the Super Bowl, and this year's Super Bowl champion the New Jersey Giants had the 27th ranked defense in 2011. In fact, only three of the past 10 Super Bowl champions had a top 5 defense, although 7 were in the top 10. 3 fell in the bottom half. 4 if you include this years New Jersey Giants team: 2010 Packers- 6th ranked defense 2009 New Orleans- 25 2008 Pissburgh- 1 2007 Giants- 7 2006 Colts- 21 2005 Pissburg- 4 2004 New England- 9 2003 New England- 7 2002 Tampa Bay- 1 2001 New England- 24 Having a top defense definitely doesn't hurt your cause, but it isn't a prerequisite. Your defense can be middle of the pack and still give you a very good chance to win a Super Bowl as long as you have an offense that can move the ball. [/QUOTE]
