Best ever? Dunno. Darn near unstoppable? Yes.
Not just because we'd be scoring 30 points and allowing 15, but because - as we saw in the 2003 season - opposing teams play even worse when they're down by three touchdowns. |

Not if Marty is coaching. You could hand him the best offense of all time and he'd still do his damnedest to keep the opposition in the game with his conservative play not to lose bs.

I have to agree with the Keg man. He would go prevent defense in the last quarter and we would lose the game. |

As long as Hank Stram was the head coach.

The key question here is, who's our kicker?
Aw, who am I kidding? It wouldn't matter. The kick will always be wide or out of bounds or it'll hit a seagull or something.

I have a theory that there is a balance to offense and defense. Historically the best defenses have had a porous defense, ie Cardiac Cardinals, Air Coryell and our squads of the last few years. The best defenses, the Shufflin' Crew, Purple People Eaters, Steel Curtain all had ball control low scoring offenses. I believe it has to do with time of possession. The best offenses score quickly and keep their D on the field to get tired quickly. The best defenses are aided by a great running game that keeps them off the field.

In other words, I think it's a matter of personnel and salary distribution. Our defense was bad because of the players, not because the offense scores too fast. I think the key to consistent winning now that the salary cap has been established and teams have settled into it (I don't really count the mid- to late-90s, that was the learning curve) is/will be the Patriots (and to a lesser degree the Eagles) gameplan, where you don't really emphasize either side of the ball. Rather you focus on building a balanced squad that may not excel at any single thing, but at the same time is strong enough in all areas that it's hard to find an obvious weakness to exploit. It's not an easy thing, because I think successful drafting is more important now than ever, if you want to win for a long period, rather than a short 'window'. Just some philosophical ramblings. |

I thought the 85 Bears had a good offense.

Even the worst teams of today are better than the best teams of the 70s and 80s. All the athletes are twice as strong and twice as fast, and the teams are now extemely well prepaired. Back in the day, the NFL was kida like a part time gig, and players sat around and ate steak during the offseason. Yeah, they played for the love of the game, but they weren't nearly as good of athletes.
