All of the great teams over the last 10-15 years have 1 thing in common - they are BALANCED.
Marty has an O and a D in SD - this is probably his best shot ever at a SB run IMO.
Pitts last year had an O to go with the D they've had for years (and the refs)
New England - I don't even know which side of the ball is better - but I do know that I don't really look forward to either the O or the D.
When Tampa Bay won, Chucky left the D alone and fixed the O (Jeesh Herm, you should have at least noticed that one).
StL under DV had a top 10 D to compliment the Greatest Show on Turf
'97 & '98 don't apply since the team that won the SB those years cheated the salary cap to do so
Green Bay, Dallas, and the 49ers - they were BALANCED teams.
The ONLY team in the last 10-15 years that could be argued as not a balanced team was Baltimore - and they at least could manage the ball on O.
In the late 80s and erly 90s here we emphasized D and we struggled on O - Our best QB was 8 years beyond his prime and couldn't throw more than 30 yards.
DV turned it around. We had one of the best O's to play the game but put the D in the hands of a dufas that pushed to cut one of the best players we had at the time in Donnie Edwards.
Gunther probably fielded the most balanced team we've had in 20 years - both sides of the ball stunk.

99 Rams defense wasnt as good as advertised. They played one team that entire season with a winning record and got stomped by the Titans, which later beat them in the SB.
Dallas was filled with Probowlers everywhere.
Everything else though I agree completely.
