I'm not trying to be a jerk but this school of thought is pretty much a no-brainer.

Each year teams and fans get caught up in the big passing games and all the pretty numbers, but in the end the teams that pound the rock and play good D are usually the last ones standing.

Unless your offense is off the charts like the Kurt Warner led Rams or the Skins of yesteryear (although the Skins were rock solid on both sides of the ball). I like that some years a team like the Ravens and Bears of 86 can win and some years the Rams and Colts can win. Irrestible Force meets Immovable Object!
