You need to get a playoff win - choose 1 club (1 Viewer)

[BGP]

Hypothetical.

You need a playoff win. You can pick any one of these clubs to play. Which one would you prefer to face to give you the best chance to win?

I asked this question for the divisional round. The "winner" was the Redskins.

Colts [ 0 ] [0.00%]

Steelers [ 2 ] [5.41%]

Broncos [ 0 ] [0.00%]

Patriots [ 3 ] [8.11%]

Seahawks [ 2 ] [5.41%]

Redskins [ 22 ] [59.46%]

Bears [ 6 ] [16.22%]

Panthers [ 2 ] [5.41%]

So I ask again for the conference title games.

seahawks because they do not bring the pain on defense like the other 3 teams .

 

[Jimmy James]

Yep. The Seahawks are at least comparatively soft.

They have the best offense in the league. Not a fan of different styles?

Perhaps he's just a believer that defense wins championships. I know I am.

Indy has been the best offensive unit in football over the last few years and what has that got them?????

Seattle was 7th in scoring defense the other teams were 3, 4, and 5. Green Bay had a great defense when they won it in 96? They had a great player.

Rams had a great defense in 2001?

All those 49er teams had great defenses?

Huh.

 

[Jimmy James]

Wow. Somebody can name a handful of examples out of 40. Jeez, that's a compelling argument.

The "defense wins championships" is overratedIts been shown that teams who are good ON BOTH SIDES are the ones who win championships.

Seattle was #1 on offense and #7 on defense

Looking for a fight are you? You just made a blanket statement, at least I made an argument. :blocked:

Huh.

Green Bay in 96 had the #1 defense in the leagueRams had #7 in 2001

And the 49ers had some great D's led by Ronnie Lott.

I remember seeing something a few years ago, that no team has won the Super Bowl in a very long time without a top 10 D and only two teams have won without a top 10 Offense (the 90 Giants and 00 Ravens)

. Good catch. The Packers were good in fact. The Rams were #7 but since they were always so far ahead, I think that plays into it. They weren't that impressive by any means. 2000 Ravens were #1 in total defense. Link. Giants also #1 in 1990 in total defense so they didn't need offense I guess.

 

[DoctorDetroit]

I found one. The 83' Raiders were 13th. 1983

The Redskins in 87 and Broncos in 98 were 8th.

Edit: 76 Raiders were 12th.

68 Jets 11th, fourth in the AFL

I misunderstood the question and read it as "If you have to pick one team to win this weekend, like for a survivor pool, who would it be". As a result, I picked Denver.Now that I get the question, I would vote Carolina. Double-cover Steve Smith, and what else do they have? I mean, Chicago was moving the ball on their defense, so with all due respect to their shutout of the Giants, it's not exactly an impenetrable unit we're talking about here.
