Not one of those teams NEEDED a Top 8 offense. Hell, they didn't need a Top 15 offense. They needed to score 16 points per game. 16 points. That's it. Just because some of those teams had circus offenses, doesn't mean they needed the output. Sure, it was fun to watch, but in the end, they could have won with a average offense. Almost to a team, defense wins Championships. In the history of the Super Bowl, only TWO teams have ever made the game (not WON the game, just MADE the game) by allowing over 20 ppg. The 1983 Oakland Raiders The 2006 Indianapolis Colts. |

![]() 11 of the last 18 teams to win a Super Bowl had an offense that ranked 3rd or higher in points. 6 of the last 18 teams to lead the NFL in points won the Bowl. I'd like to know how many of those teams made it to the Super Bowl by averaging less than the league average for PPG.... Anyone, anyone....Buehler??? 1. If your 16ppg thesis is correct, then why did every team who won...save 1 average well over 20, with a low of just less than 19 (The Bucs).

Herm Edwards outdoes himself...
Just wondering...who are the top 5 teams in the NFL -- the favorites to win the SB? Perhaps NE, SD, Indy, Cinci, and NO? And what are the top 5 offenses in the league? Hmmmm.... |

I dislike Herm more every day. Who decided he was head coaching material?

I have no problem with a defensive-minded coach.
I do have a problem with a coach who believes that one side of the ball is overwhelmingly more important than the other. That was Vermeil's problem, and it's Herm's too. Just because Herm happens to align with a popular axiom (D wins) doesn't make it any less of a ridiculous philosophy. For those who really buy into this Kool-Aid, I have a question? How did Buddy Ryan's teams do?, what about Dom Capers? Dick LeBeau? Obviously, many defensive-minded coaches have done really, really well, but assuming that they did well because they focused only on defense is a ridiculous jump.

But your missing the point. I don't CARE if they scored 100 per game. The defense all but guaranteed they would never need more than 16. So even teams without the so called circus offense can, and do win Super Bowls. 5 of the last 10, excluding the Colts. Steelers (avg 24ppg) Pats x2 (averaged 22.5 over 2 SB) Bucs (avg 22) Ravens (avg 21) |

BALANCE wins championships.
That's the real answer. Edwards should never tampered with this offense. Why wouldn't you want to have both? |

In two years, Herm has spent eight of 14 picks on the offense.
