re: Offenses evolved to score more points. Defenses haven't evolved to stop them.

The rulebook of football is slanted to give offense the advantage. Has nothing to do with coming up with ways to stop it. The team on offense completely dictates the game and there is nothing the defense can do about it.

They have weeks to prepare for it sometimes. Like your defensive coordinator did for us. Others love to bitch about it though.

I agree with this.

Of course the offense dictates the flow of a game, hence the word. The D will catch up with schemes, hence the D arms race currently happening. The hunh is something new in its mainstream use, so naturally there will be a lag. The ones complaining have coaches that don't like to adapt, it's expected. It's just funny to hear words like "smash mouth" and "tough" thrown around by guys that say "it's no fair, they're going too fast".
