I couldn't watch a game where the last team to get the ball wins. I was thinking about this last night, at this rate in five years it could turn into fast break arena ball. If thats the case i'm done with it.Is there year that the old adage "defense wins championships" gets put aside?
Watching how Payton coached the Saints makes be think things have shifted, it is a about score, score, score. It will be interesting to see how the weather slows things down.
The league finally got its wish.

I just want DB's to be able to play the ball - I want to be able to watch a long ball thrown without having to hold my breath waiting for the inevitable flag. I don't want to see 3 play, 80 yard TD drives aided by a 60 yard marginal PI call.
I hate today's NFL. It's aweful. It's no longer the best team, its the team with the best QB. Thank God the Patriots are one of just a handful of teams that have such a QB. Never before have the other 21 starters been rendered so insignificant. Give me the '85 Bears, a team that inflicted its will on the opposition on both sides of the ball, despite their QB. Give me the '04 Patriots with a complete team and a RB that could close out games with pounding authority.
Look at Detroit, lots of premium assets on their defense....rendered obsolete. Because the way the rules are written and enforced, Belichick should go use '12 draft picks and just go offense.....acquire the big speedy outside WR, acquire a 3 down back, like Jonathan Stewart (binky alert) with size and pass catching ability, another stud interior lineman....and of course the next great TE. Trade for vets, draft for studs....I don't care. All I know is that Brady has a few good years left and it is clear that Superbowls will be contested by high powered offenses... not by teams that are balanced on both sides of the ball. Might as well have a complete arsenal of weapons.

I want someone to explain to me that if it's all about great QBs,great WRs and little defense then how has Baltimore and San Francisco been able to get by when neither has a great QB,great WR corps but great defense...how are these two teams the exception?
