All I was trying to say is......a really good D more often than not disrupts a great O.

That makes sense.
A great defense and a strong running game(w/o having a great offense) is an equation that has proved successful.
If you dont score a lot of points but can maintain possession while your defense dominates on the other side it can prove very successful so with that I do understand your point.
I think back to some of them great offenses the Oilers had in the early 90s and they could never make it to the Super Bowl because their defense would fall apart.
