The fans at Arrowhead have been castrated with the lack of D the last several years. It's so dishartening to shout your lungs out on 3rd down only to have the D give it up time and time again. I believe those days are over though so next time I'm at Arrowhead I'll be yelling DE-FENSE!

The 49ers lost, but I wouldn't say they were overmatched. Punt returner might have been overmatched. And this is not the Jets, but the Ravens were not overmatched against the Pats this year either. Coulda/woulda/shoulda won late.
PS - This is not an endorsement for Cassel having a chance to make it happen too. Last edited by Coogs; 05-04-2012 at 10:22 AM.. |

The 49ers weren't over-matched by a team with an elite QB. They lost due to 2 punt return fumbles.

Yeah it was the lack of an elite QB.

Defense = 1990's
Offense = Today I MUCH preferred us setting records of offense. If we had any balance at all during DV's tenure, we'd have 2 rings right now. Problem w/Marty's teams were they get down by 14, it was game over. I never want to experience that hopelessness again.

While I like offense more, the Pick 6 is the most exciting play in sports. In a close game, it's the most drastic emotional swing possible.

Personally nothing is better to watch than an option offense that is running on all clyniders.

Of course the combo of the Vermeil O (with a prime franchise QB in Green) combined with the 90's Smith and Thomas D would be all world, But I have to go D. At least the D could also score points. That was just awefull knowing that we had no hope in a shootout of stopping anyone from marching on us. That D however could have a bad game and then suddenly grab a pick 6 and shut it down!

Winning. I like winning. I spent too many of my younger years watching the Patriots plumb the very depths of extreme suck. I like to win, and I don't care much how they do it.

As for Poe- I have read a lot about him-came from a single parent home-brother in jail for drugs and guns-was teased mercilessly as a kid. I think he has a Lot to prove to his naysayers and has a lot of ghost to put to rest. I think he took a huge step dominating the Combine like he did. As for production in college- doesn't sound like he had caoching or descent players around him. Good news he learned a lot of different postions and played a Ton of downs-bad news-didn't play Nose Tackle a majority of those plays. Personally I like the Kid and hope he makes us forget all the Bust picks we have had on the D line. Maybe he even makes Dorsey and and Jackson better. Especially Jackson since he wont be double and tripled teamed-LOL he will be free from eating blocks to maybe make a tackle or sack once in awhile. Poe just might be the Big Stud we have been waiting for since Allen took his roping routine to the Vikes?? |

Chiefs had the leagues best defense for much of the 90s and had nothing to show for it because the offense was pedestrian. When you get to the playoffs the other teams are pretty good too. We could never overcome that. The Vermeil years we had the league's best offense and couldn't even force a punt in a playoff loss. The Giants were not the league's best offense or defense. They had a solid team that came around when playoff time came. The Pats had the best offense in the AFC but no defense. You need both in this league. St. Louis Rams "Greatest Show on Turf" won one Super Bowl, lost another and were afterthoughts from there on. The '85 Bears won one Super Bowl as did the defense laden Ravens and Bucs because they were not balanced teams.
