[QUOTE="TJV, post: 560689, member: 4300"] I am not sure what you’re talking about when you say, “odds”. The only odds I talked about was Seattle being a 6 point favorite, but that wasn’t in reply to your post. In replying to you, I didn’t cite odds, I cited facts – the stats of the last regular season according to nfl.com. You said “numbers dictate” and those are the numbers. BTW, three years ago you weren’t posting here and the consensus here was, and still is, that the NFL is a passing league. IMO there’s a contradiction in what you wrote. ‘Holding the other team to less points” implies that if the Packers score 40 points, the D just has to hold the opponent to 39 points. That obviously wins that game, but that’s not how the majority of championship teams operate. That was the 2011 regular season situation for the Packers, wasn’t it? And in the playoffs, the importance of defense is emphasized. I also disagree that the Broncos lost because their defense sucked. IMO the main factor in that game was the absolute domination by the Seahawks defense against the best offense of last season. That certainly doesn’t look like the base point of the post to which I responded. The base point looked like this: “Numbers dictate. More plays equals more yards. More TDs, more wins. The whole ball control thing is becoming [I]obsolete along with the running game[/I]. Don’t get me wrong, I like your optimism about the Packers. But I think you picked a very odd time to emphasize prolific offense, when we “just” saw one of the most prolific offenses in NFL history get mauled and embarrassed by a great defense. [/QUOTE]
