Do you think they watched last years Super Bowl and thought how can we make every game like that without taking into account how poor those defences played? Some of the calls missed on offences are insane, especially considering what’s called on defenders.
I firmly believe that SB was a come to jesus moment for the league... we dont need defence, you can beat the best qb in history and the best coach in history simply by outscoring them and trusting your D to make the 1-2 plays they need to swing things
the eagles-pats SB burnt the defensive football world down and from it's ashes Payton, McVey and Reid decided its time they just did what they always kind of wanted to to do, ignore defence.
It's a brave new NFL world and unless you've got a QB and play caller who can win a 40+ point shoot out, you aint it, chief.
