Not unless you have a capable offense... This is new era not the 80's or 90's anymore.
And I dont want to hear about Ravens amd NYG Superbowl wins... They're the exception not the norm. For every SB wins by defenses, there 5x more by great offenses in the last 15 years.
The #1 Defense Vikings would've lost if not for a miracle TD, which i laughed when I heard posters said Brees had no chance.
It's a QB league period.... Ask that Jax great defense.

[FONT=&quot]Nick Foles in the second half: 11-of-11, 159 yards, 2 TD, perfect passer rating (158.3), perfect QBR (99.9)[/FONT]

If Saints would have beaten Minny last week, would we have seen the same beat down by Philly on Bree's?

I agree, defense doesn't win championships as much anymore like they use to.......& there's no way I can bet Foles ML over Brady, but I do like Philly +5.5, already bet it some..... gonna be interesting to see the story lines over next 2 weeks & to watch Belichick say nothing in conferences.

I can't go big on Philly +5.5 yet, gotta see if maybe I'm missing something from now until game day.

1 fav & 9 dogs, lol, that's nuts......then again, last year it was 9 favs & 2 dogs.

Its always been a QB league, unless you have an exceptional defense.

Bad defenses don't win Super Bowls.

As for "ask Jacksonville", it took a delay of game by a tick and a very questionable PI or NE doesn't win that game...and they had a massive edge at QB.

Bad defenses don't win Super Bowls....very often.

The rule changes have absolutely affected play, but its rare that a poor defense can win.

I'm more interested in spreads. From where I sit this morning, there's only one group celebrating (Eagles fans). If you were for the Patriots, you are probably happy they won but having a hard time celebrating since you got your asses handed to you at the cashiers window. The forum was relatively silent after the Patriots won for obvious reasons.

And a delayed whistle on the fumble recovery by Jack....people call it a quick whistle, but he was 5 yards running the other direction from the recovery spot when the whistle blew....

Agree with you Biz....the Eagles D will keep New England in check. I like how Philly matches up with New England on O and D.

New England can't win every Super Bowl ....... ask the Giants.

You are right Mr. J. But does that outweigh a QB who has been there a number of times successfully against
a QB who is a virgin to the entire Super Bowl experience.

Very difficult for me to put my pennies on a rookie. Just my take my friend.

Oh I understand. I assume you realize from here we care more about the win than the cover. So I'm just sayin ......
