So far the 1st weekend of playoffs proves the old saying of defense wins championships. All 8 teams, won or lost, played some good defense. The winning teams played a little better.
And looking ahead to the bye teams, they have even better defenses waiting on the sideline!
I heard those analysis praising winning teams keep running the football even when the result wasn't that great. True. But my point is that those teams can AFFORD running the ball because they have defenses buying them time. Imagine if you are down a couple of touchdowns while gaining a yard and a half on every carry, no one will keep running the football in that circumstance.
I think the Bills need to focus on defense this off season. They have improved in 2007, but they are not going anywhere without getting into the top 1/3 of the league.
