Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 710410">Yeah, and the Vikes still scored 28 points and took it to OT.My point regarding the Saints goes to their scoring in their final 2 regular season games and 3 playoff games:<a href="http://www.espn.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/no/year/2009" target="_blank">http://www.espn.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/no/year/2009</a>One thing to note about the 3 playoff wins:  14 points total surrendered in the second halves.  So while the defense was not statistically strong that season, they did hold the line when it counted.So, admittedly it is more than "just outscoring" the opponent, though the points scored were bounteous.  It's having a defense that can close.  Always be closing.But this is the closest parallel in the last decade to a championship team that parallels the Packers MO, sans the closing part of course.Fire Capers.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
