Patriots/Rams
Tampa/Raiders
Giants/Denver
The list goes on and on. Even the year the Rams won the Super Bowl, in the playoff they were comprimised by a great Tampa D. The Rams did win that game. But it goes to show that a great D usually lays the beat down on any offense.

In 2007, Patriots had better offense and better defense than the Giants. That's not a game where a great defense won the game. Giants was 17th in the league in terms of points allowed. That's no great D.
In 2001, Patriots wasn't winning with a great D either. They were 6th in points allowed, and 24th in yards allowed. They were also 6th in points scored and 19th in yards.
2002 Tampa and 1986 Giants would indeed be great Ds winning championship, but of course great D, just as great O, will win championships.
I think you better review your facts.
