Offense wins Championships

[Cactus Jack]

You're either trolling or blinded by hate.

What is there to like about a QB who turned our franchise around, led us to a 15-1 season and a chance at the Super Bowl, won the MVP, is considered widely as one of the top QB's in the league, and is still only 27 years old? He (and the team) had a mediocre season this year. Big deal. That happens all the time after teams lose the Super Bowl. That doesn't take away from the fact that he's a damn good quarterback and many teams would kill to have a guy like him.

If the biggest knock you have on the guy is seriously that "he gloats and he was benched for dress code" than I'm really not too worried. I've never seen so much undeserved hatred for a guy in the NFL. So he dances when he scores TD's? Focus your hate on the guys who beat their wives and kids, strangle their girlfriends, drive under the influence.

I don't always agree with what Sherman does. But, I'd still take him over just about any CB in the league.

Unless you have Tom Brady, and BB as your head coach chances are you won't win without atleast a decent defense.

Or Drew Brees. Or both Mannings(Giants allowed 400 points in 2011). Or possibly Ryan in a few weeks. They've won as many Championships as Brady has without having a good defense:one.

The 2007 and 2011 Giants were very good defensive teams. Most teams that win the Super Bowl are good defensively. The only team that I can think of that won the Super Bowl without a good defense in the '00s is the 09 Saints. But they had an elite offense and were good in takeaways.

And - the Giants had the one key to beating Tom Brady that the Falcons need (and to some extent, showed they could do against the Packers). They could get pressure up the middle and do it without blitzing. It allowed the linebackers to support the secondary in coverage and kept the safeties back. The Falcons cannot allow Brady to feel comfortable in the pocket. At all. He will carve them up.
