But since when is defense the only part of the game? Think it's fair to tell the 2000 Rams that the only way they are allowed to win a game is to make a defensive stop?

There is way too big of an advantage given to teams who win a coin flip. A kickoff these days can usually get to the 30 or 35. Even if your defense forces a punt, there's a very good chance that the team with the first possession can punt and pin the other team within the 5 yard line.

Can you imagine extra innings in a baseball game settled by sudden death? Football is not like soccer or hockey, in which possession quickly changes hands and the offense can get the ball/puck back within seconds. It's one in which the offense has full control over whether they can score or not.
