Take it anyway you want; offense needs to score points and defense needs to limit points in order to gain that critical statistic you so eloquently stated: wins!
Probably a generational thing, I love defensive battles in open air, cold gray days, with mud, snow, beer, and hitting. Defense can still win, probably defies conventional thinking but in the end it still wins!
You guys love Arena Football with two hundred points a game in your under shirt in a domed stadium enjoying 75 degree and dry days!
