Good game ... didnt feel as intense as it should have been, tied with 5 mins to go.

Both D lines were invisible .. I guess game planned away to a degree but you have to win 1 v 1 battles, Reddick and Graham did nothing for the Eagles.

Possession football. Chiefs had 4 possessions in the 2nd half, eagles had 3 then the last second one.

Eagles D gave up 24 points on 4 straight drives ...

Offense > Defense in terms of game planning and consistency. If you don't have a QB that can control the game you won't be hoisting the Lombardi. The ideology that you can win with a top flight defense and a game manager is twenty years in the past.

I think the 'D wins championships' mantra still works, but only in as much as you need a strong D to challenge for one. A great O alone can't do it all. It is more about building a rounded out roster (and not neglecting ST either), than ever before, but without a strong D don't expect to win much.

I agree. Look at the Eagles last night. They had over 400 yards of offense, and over 300 of that was passing. They crushed the time of possession. However their defense couldn't stop anything in the 2nd half. That is why they lost.

And with regard to offense, who really cares if you are running the ball more or passing the ball more, as long as you are scoring touchdowns. That is the name of the game. And if you can do that while keeping your opponent (and your defense) off the field, even better.
