people always say that offense sells tickets and defense wins games is this true? and if so why the saying "sometimes the best defense is a good offense" explain why you think that one is better than the other

Offense is demoralizing to the other team. What would you rather see on the scoreboard: Your ahead 21-0 or Tied 0-0? It forces teams to change their strategy when they get behind, and it can change the entire complexion of a game. I'll take a "butt-kickin'" offense anyday over a "stingy" defense. And NO it's not because the Buckeyes are a defensive coordinator's worst nightmare. I've always liked offense better!

personally i like a better defense because our defense was a key to our playoff run last year we would have never beat daingerfield without our defense

Your offense decides whether or not you need a good defense.

Then the score would be even 21-21. :D Diboll's 2000 undefeated 10-0 "regular season" was achieved mainly because our strong defense. But i can see where you are coming from. That last game of the season, we couldn't get a comeback together because we weren't a strong offensive team and ended up losing to Mexia 45-0.

thats really hard to say which i would prefer. I've always been apart of a real good defense. I have never really been around an out standing offense. But i think that a Defense really wins championships. I dont really have a reason for some reason though it just seems fitting.but if you have an offense that is crippling to other teams, then I think you can get by with a half decent defense.

Why choose? When you can have both.

defense...puts less pressure on ur offense if they know they dont have to put points up on the board every single drive...and they can take chances not worrying too much about turnovers....

If you are talking about great defense/good offense vs. great offense/good defense....I take Great DEFENSE. As has been said, the Greenwood/Daingerfield is a great example.

If you are talking about great offense/weak defense vs. great defense/weak offense, I take Great OFFENSE. A weak offense can demoralize your team and wear out your great defense.
