NFL Debate #12: Does defence still win championships?

[Cory]

LETS GO

[Cory]

Ive always been a big defensive guy, but defensive only wins championships in College.

Last few superbowls have been all dominated by offensive teams....last real big defense was when Giants upset the Pats.

[GM Franchise]

Yes it does. A team with a weak defense will not win the Super Bowl. It can get there but not win it. Defense wins championships.

I know last year was two big offenses and Eli had a good run but the Giants did have a great defense compared to the horrid Pats defense.

And there have been many good offenses in the super bowl lately but lets break some things down.

Packers def. Steelers (highlight would be the BJ Raji defensive touchdown).
Saints def. Colts (how about that Tracy Porter interception that went for a TD).
Steelers def. Cardinals (James Harrison anyone?)

I guess my point is that even with a good offense which you need, defense wins titles. Every one of these games I mentioned may not have had the same result without something big happening on DEFENSE! Let's go D!!!!

I finally agree with James on something.

Personally I think special teams win Championships...
