Defining it matters,
8 of the last 10 SB champs were a top 10 D, 1 was 11.
so when I say it not as simple, you’re already proving my point.
is a D better because of the yardage they prevent or the points?
And I agree the league has changed. Scoring is up, passing is way up, D’s can’t do the same beating they used, but the best still win in most cases.
The Titans defense is not the Ravens old school run stuffing 3-4 type D where you ask the front 3 to just occupy the blockers and let the LBers run free...it is a penetrating 3-4 as the base and then we are in a 4 man front about 40% of the time.
The guys that you should pay are guys who command double teams because they are the guys who make other players around them better. Big Jeff requires double teams or he will ruin your backfield.
It’s a whole lot easier to find a defensive lineman that requires double teams than an elite pass rusher or wide receiver.
you bringing logic to an emotion party
its all about tanking for the Magic GOAT
you know how the lions won all those Owls
or the brownies... or the Cardinals...
Tanking for the GOAT is the only way. Only team that wins Owl has GOAT
The point is when you have a guy that requires double teams you pay him...just like the Chiefs did for Chris Jones. Jones makes both DEs and Lbers better.
Complete exaggeration but I get your point, at this point he’s a solid to good player for most of the season. Definitely a starting caliber player on a good team but not the game changer he used to be.

Chiefs 16th 1st
Rams 15th 8th
Buccs 8th 4th
Chiefs 7th 5th
Pat's 7th 4th
Eagles 4th 3rd
Pat's 1st 3rd
Broncos 4th 19th
Pat's 8th 4th
Hawks 1st 9th
2/10 teams had a better D than O. And one of the two still had a top 10 offense lol. Defense wins championships is dead. Yes you still need a capable or even good or great D but if you're going to prioritize one side of the ball it is 100% offense.
We’re just going to disagree here.
those stats do a great job showing the importance of D.
that also doesn’t address most of the questions proposed in my previous response.
lot of those Os were NOT #1.... so no GOAT therefore invalid
Obviously d is important as well. It's just not as important as offense.
What questions? If yardage or points matter more? Points. Obviously.
And no the best D doesn't win in most cases. The last two Superbowl champs had average D's. The best D in the NFL this season finished last in their division and 27th in the NFL lol.
D stats are often of no value...
D shutting team down totally for 2 and a half quarters now team up by 3 scores and D stops blitzing and taking chances forcing/allowing O underneath stuff if they are paitent/grind clock.
so now the D gives up multiple drives, probably resulting in points, because of priority of getting W over grabbing stats

You can post your picture but he does make a point about the overall ranking and how it’s not just the number itself that determined everything about how that D or Offense ranks.
These questions:
this is where much more than just the ranking comes into play. That also means there should be a higher consideration regarding those rankings to the teams that didn’t reach the SB.
