Would you prefer an Elite offense or an Elite defense

If could only have one.

I would definitely say an Elite offense. You are never out of the game. We have had both in the not so distant past and nothing is more frustrating than a defense setting the tone and dominating, only to see an inept offense go three and out 8 times per half

Elite defense can change a game. Create fumbles, interceptions, sacks. Look at les miles. Had great defenses and couldn't get a quarterback that threw more than two hundred yards except mettenburger. But still won 10 games and one natty.

defense for me

Remember when they used to say offense sells tickets, defense wins championships. No longer the case imho fwiw tbh.

Defense

The only right answer is offense in 2024. You aren't shutting anyone out anymore and 2019 was a very clear indicator of that. Most here will say defense because of nostalgia.
Those same folks see absolutely no issue beating sun belt teams 10-7 and they're blown away when you can't even pick up a first down against higher level competition.
Nobody wants to watch a QB throw for 80 yards.

Elite offense. With elite defense under miles we kept convincing ourselves we could pull a w out. OK get a stop here and a drive and we are in it. Only to go 3 and out again. It was a slow death. Last year, damn offense didn't score a td here game over. At least this way the pain was over quick lol.

I guess it depends on the other side of the ball.
If one side of the ball sucks in this scenario, give me the elite offense and gives us a chance to win regardless of the defense.
That said, my ideal would be an ELITE defense with a good but not necessarily elite offense.

Offense
It is still more fun to me as a fan being able to score than not.

Offense
2019 defense was nowhere near elite and is arguably the greatest team ever

with an elite defense, you can bully the other team, and that's really fun. just my opinion.

2011 Elite Defense.
2019 Elite Offense.

Well 2016 had an elite defense and no offense and we went 9-4. This past year we had an elite offense and no defense and we went 10-3 and had a Heisman winner so I think I choose offense. Both are frustrating and cost you games but I agree with the other poster that having an elite offense means you’re never out of the game.

Elite offense. You know why, because you didn't say the defense couldn't be good lol.
Michigan is an extreme outlier. Michigan kept guys around for 4+ years and was able to conserve their team by playing tons of trash teams all season long. When you play 2 good teams all regular season (neither one with a good offense AT ALL), and one with an overrated defense, it makes the postseason less daunting.
A top 5 offense with a top 30 defense is good enough to win the national championship.

Elite offense with a top 10 defense would be ideal.
But I think elite offense with a defense in the top 15-20 has you in it at the end of the season too.

Easy. Elite defense, if you cannot stop the other team from scoring a great offense is useless. Teams that have a good defense win championships.

Would say Defense until I saw Burrow hang 49 on Oklahoma by halftime.
Posted on 5/7/24 at 10:55 am to ELTIGRE55
Current rules make an elite D unlikely. I do miss those low scoring, uber-physical brawls though. When a single missed tackle can win or lose the game the tension just builds and builds

How'd that elite offense work out last year? Defense wins championships!
