Which Do You Prefer: Offense or Defense?

Re: Which Do You Prefer: Offense or Defense?

Somewhere in the middle.

Something like a 17-14 game would be palatable to me but I also like high scoring games as well. Actually one of my favorite football games of all time was a pretty low scoring affair (1990 NFC Championship)

In fact, I prefer somewhere in the middle for all of the sports. You can't have too much offense or defense or it becomes a bit dull.

In football (soccer) I was a defender loved smashing in to people and taking the football from them. I scored a few goals off of set prices and corners mostly headers the adranialine rush from scoring a goal is amazing but being a defender and helping our goal keeper get a clean sheet is better.

I'd say - a good balance in football, offense all the way in basketball, pitching and good defense in baseball, offense in hockey and a balance in futbol.

Defense. Everybody can score. But you won't start winning until you can stop the other team.

Defense creates offense, especially in basketball. It's why the Suns never won a championship and why the Pistons and Spurs did. You can't win unless you can stop the other team.

Basketball: Offense. Used to having the ball in my hands.
Football: Defense. Liked making plays.

I'm assuming we mean if we were playing the game?

Football - Defense. Always loved playing corner or safety. Something about reading the QB and anticipating the moves of the Receiver and beating them. Then of course there's tackling.

Baseball - Defense. I've pitched nearly all my life and stabbing a hard line drive at first base or making a leaping catch from the outfield is a glorious feeling.

Basketball - Offense. If I was taller than 6'0 and was gifted with an ability to read shots so I could block them, I would change this to defense.

Re: Which Do You Prefer: Offense or Defense?

Across the board for me its defense, but particularly in football. I love watching 2 great defensive teams like Pittsburgh and Baltimore play some low-scoring smashmouth football where the first team to 10 could very well win. Maybe its just me, but I feel like defense is synonymous with fundamentals. Protect the football, run the ball, chew the clock, play defense and win with field position. That's my kind of football.
