Offense Vs Defense?

[el capitan]

Watching the Seahawks dominate the Saints on offense and defense got me wondering...who would come out on top if Wilson, Lynch, Harvin and the Seahawks offense had to drive 80 yards against ET, Sherman, Clemons and the Seahawks defense?

One drive, 80 yards, touchdown or bust...who wins?

Defense would have been the clear winner before Monday night. Now...I don't know. If our O-line can keep pass protecting like they did against the Saints, possibly the offense. I think I'm still picking defense for now, though.

I think of a good defense like a good puzzle. They are going to set up, and can only react based on how they are setting up.

an offense has the power to adjust and try to figure out the 'puzzle'.


Lets say there's 1:59 on the clock, 1 time out, RW has the ball in his hands 1st and 10 at his own 20 neutral field down by 5 points.

I will bet on Russell Wilson.

Offense... Russell tips the field.

Seahawks 2 minute drill is off the charts. Russell for the win.

I'd say it's probably a 50/50 thing, but I'd take the Defense.

Think about how our 2-minute drill goes in practice, and then take that same offense and put them on the field against most other D's; that's why we march down the field so quickly. We're NOT playing our own D!

Man, tough question, I went with ET and the D, ah la St. Louis. Very easily could have picked Wilson. Also I believe this Offense is now deadly, ah la 2:00 minute drill against the Saints. Man, I love this team!

 

[CANHawk]

Offense is good and Russell is great, but that Defense is like 86 Bears good. Defense takes it home.

 

[Evil_Shenanigans]

I went with the Defense but in all honesty the way the penalties have been falling lately I think the Defense has been taking more of a hit than the Offense. So that gives them a few more first downs to work with. In a perfect world there would be no penalties, but the reality is the games we have been tight on this year were largely due to the flags deserved or otherwise. Leave the flags out of it and its a jump ball. A lot of teams would kill to have this problem.

Who the hell cares ? We have em both.

Just kidding. It's a tough question.
I've always said " if your defense is good enough, it only takes a safety (2pts) to win"
I'm glad we don't have to play AGAINST either.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Good question. I'd side with the defense because all of our offensive players routinely say in interviews that the hardest defense they face all year is their own in practice.

Which means our D knows all of our offensive plays/tendencies/formations, etc.

 

[onanygivensunday]

One drive, 80 yards, touchdown or bust...who wins?

With, or without Harvin?

 

[Missing_Clink]

I don't think our WRs are good enough to beat our secondary in a real game situation. I picked the defense because I think the passing game would really struggle.

 

[Ozzy]

Maybe I'm still hung up on last year and how many times we blew it late on defense ala Atlanta but I'm going with Russell and the offense although I have complete faith in both this year. Wilson is incredible in clutch time. Not sure there is anyone in the league who is better. He seems to move at will with he needs too.

With Harvin.

 

[Basis4day]

Really hard decision. I'm gonna go with Offense only because of the risk of personal foul by some aggressive D.

 

[hawks4thewin]

I have seen our offence Totaly crush our defense in training camp.. I have also seen them shut down our offence. so i'm gonna say 50/50 is the only correct answer, but i voted offence, based on TODAY

 

[Veilside]

I'm going offense. A well placed throw can beat the best coverage and Wilson is very good at putting the ball where only his receivers have a chance at it. Plus I'm not so sure we can create enough pressure by rushing 4 against our O-line that is needed to contain and get to Wilson (ala Panthers, Rams).

 

[NorCalHawk12]

...Russell tips the field.

Can't. Too short. :sarcasm_off:

I say offense. But about as much as this poll is weighted. Currently 52-48.

 

[IBleedBlueAndGreen]

If this actually ever happened neither would win. The stadium would implode and it would create a black hole that would consume the entire planet.
