we dont have defense. defense wins championships.
New Orleans won it with a bottom of the league defense a couple years ago
I think the whole "defense wins championships" thing is bullshit. good teams that get hot in the playoffs win championships, period. I mean we have to be better than last year for sure, but don't have to be a great defensive team. it's honestly more about offense in the NFL with today's pass happy league and so many rules in place for player's safety.
I think we will be in the bottom half of the league defensively next year, but if we can rank around 20th and our offense can be as good (I think they will be better) we can compete in a tight division like last year. A lot depends on how much better other teams in the division got (I do think every teams will be improved)
Not expecting us to win the Super Bowl, but I think we have an outside shot at the playoffs. And we all know once you get in anything can happen, so fuck... we are winning the Super Bowl. Preseason is the best time to be optimistic since every team has the same record.
