Wow, I expected a much better article coming from something like The Atlantic. This reads like it's from Bleacher Report. I especially like how an entire paragraph is devoted to SOS changing based on records from different seasons, when that has literally nothing to do with the point he's arguing against. Also moving was his inability to comprehend the meaning of the word "worst."

If the Chiefs suck, then the Broncos suck, too. Neither team sucks. |

Seriously, does anyone disagree? It's a horribly-written article. |

The articles written Monday about what a donkey looks like when you shove an arrowhead up his ass so far you chip his teeth will suck too.

That was money. I would post it at the Mane if I was as arrogant as them and could get in.

He's absolutely right that fans generally value offense over defense. It's just how it is.
Great example was a couple years ago when the Packers were 15-1 and them and the Saints were re-writing the record books. Both offenses looked unstoppable. Almost everyone penciled in a Packers/Saints NFC title game. Neither team even made it that far... it was Giants/Niners. Defense won out. |

This "teams score a lot of points and that makes them better than everyone else" argument is pathetic. The article highlights how great defenses get no credit. I remember not too long ago when Oregon in CFB was viewed as a legit NC contender because they "scored a lot of points". Then they finally play a team with a defense, Stanford, and get throttled for three quarters. Now no one talks about Oregon as a legit NC contender.
Simple fans and "experts" are blown away by offense and base their judgement for the quality of a team on that. How is Denver averaging so many points more impressive than the Chiefs allowing record lows? |
