What's more important Offense or Defense?

[Matthew]

Here's a debate I've been having with Partycrasher.
I'm not saying both aren't important but if you absolutely had to choose between
a great offense and pretty good defense
vs
great defense and pretty good offense,
which one would it be and why?

Especially interested in knowing the coaches and experienced player point of views as well as the newcomers.

great defense.

Maybe in C or B Divisions, but those of yall who play A ball know that most A offenses, Outlaws, Hazard, Trojans, Bandits, Gators are not going to be stopped....AND when they are stopped it was a mistake on the offensive side. There is not a team in state that has a shut down defense...its basically who can score more...and make the less mistakes. Look at the championship game last season Kaos and us....the team who had the ball last was going to win....period. OFFENSE in Flag Football is more important....if you are talking tackle football or basketball...i'd give you defense.

Matt is debating this cause he cant catch! lol....jk.

Matt since this league started has had more drops than Visine! hahahaha...jay kay! matt! jay kay!

defense is the key cause the nature of the game is offensive. your right about the A teams but it always comes down to one big stop on defense.... as johnny always says:
1 stop = chance to win
2 stops = you should win
3 stops = no reason you shouldnt win

[partycrasher]

is it a stop? or a mistake from the offense?

But this is a debate that will go on forever! becuase you can always say " The team that scores more points is going to win" or you can say " the team that allows less points is going to win"

So Matt, I dont know what you are trying to prove w/ this...but i'm angry now!

i think there is a difference. in houston we made stops.... flat out stops to come back and win just about every game actually. I think the best teams have the best defenses and potent offenses. With the acception of av ron and you.....i think everyone would defer the toss which is the ultimate choice of o v. d

Against who in Houston? and if you say Houston Gators! i dont consider them to be a tough team...they are all flash and no substance! they are a bunch of slappies! who have their binkins coming this year!
