I think this author nails it.
You can’t win by always playing defense.
With no offense you never score a touchdown.
Sure occasionaly you grab a fumble and run it into the end zone, but that is not a winning strategy to make it to the Superbowl.

Actually, my Chicago Bears made it to the Super Bowl in the 2006 season doing exactly that.
And then got blown out by Peyton Manning.
