Defense wins, but Mayhew is still keeping open the possibility of drafting a defensive player. Screw smokescreens, fuck us Lion's fans.

To be fair, 10 of the top 13 scoring offenses also made the playoffs.
I think good football wins.
Close. The Giants (8th), Texans (10th), Steelers (12th), and Falcons (13th) did not.
The Jets, Cowboys, Ravens, Colts, Vikings, Chargers, Cards all give up less than 20.3 pts a game (7 of the top 14 defenses). Saints have a middle of the road defense, don't be surprised when they get beat in a shootout.
I think you need both to win. But teams have made runs with crappy offenses and dominant D (Tampa, Baltimore, Chicago to name a few). What team has won it all with a dominant O and a bad defense? The Colts in 2006 is the closest I can come up with (22.6 pts a game allowed).
My point is there is no way we can win without putting together a top 15 defense, even if Stafford and CJ light it up.
Stafford and CJ won't light it up without a left offensive tackle.
a LT won't stop the Lions from giving up 30 points a game either. I don't care if you have the best OL in football, you aren't going to win many games giving up 30 a night.
Tahoe won't win championships with his mindset.
Offensive lines keep your defense off the field.Quote:

Offensive lines don't see the field if your D allows the other team to ball control you.Quote:
