It's kind of strange in a way. We've seen over and over again that good defenses win. We just watched a great defense dismantle the highest scoring offense ever to win a title. Meanwhile, our defense got completely gashed at Greg Robinson levels the entire second half of the season, then put forth one of the worst 2nd half defensive performances ever in the playoffs... but everyone's still obsessed with offense, and the thing people get most upset about is losing out on a WR. This board's obsession with offense is probably it's biggest downfall. This team needs more pass rushers. And a free safety that can actually cover deep.

While you're right that a top-10 defense and a franchise QB (wonder what that's like?) is the equation, you cannot possibly claim that Jackson wasn't a high-impact FA, the likes of which rarely get cut lose in their prime.

It's not a hyper-focus on offense as much as it's a reaction to the reality of the FA market this year. At least that's my perspective.
