Do you prefer watching defense or offense?

This may not be for everyone’s team but curious if you prefer to see the defensive strategies more than the offensive.

I get more satisfaction preventing the first down than getting one, and for that reason I miss the old days.

Trying to talk football and not trash for a rare moment and no one wants to engage?

Watching at home, I prefer offense

Watching in DV, nothing like coming up with a huge defensive stop

Depends on the teams. LSU and Bama offenses the last 2 years were fun to watch. However, the Bama defense in 1992 was amazing. Both of the offensive teams felt like they would score every play. 92 Bama defense felt like a sack or pick 6 was coming every play.

I think I prefer the defense game more than the new offense games.

Defense. Nothing beats watching the other team lose yards every play for the whole game. It's much more enjoyable to watch a shutout with 2-3 tds than a 50-14 blowout. After your team is up 3-4 touchdowns the game's already over.

I like watching offense better when my team plays. Rarely can the other team score when we have the ball, but watching defense is a pucker fest for me.

I do too, but it wasn't always that way. I think it has more to do with what is actually harder to do within the confines of the rules of the game.

Scoring used to be harder so offensive success was exciting. Now the rules are tailored for everyone to score so having a team that can still stiffen up on defense despite that is extremely satisfying.

Defense, every time. I miss the Wrecking Crew - they were incredible to watch

Nope not mad. I was just trying to add clarity to your question. You seemed confused?

I'd like to see a balance between the two. I don't really want to see 6-3 games but I'm not particularly fond of the 55-52 track meets either. If they would just reduce the number of yards the Oline can go down field to one like the NFL and allow the defense to tackle people without getting called for targeting it would make quite a difference.

So much to be grateful in life. Cheer up!

Alabama’s 92 and 11 defenses... poetry in motion.

Situational.

Nothing better than watching a defense bow it's neck and take over a game.

Also love watching a great RB impose his will against a great defense when it's all on the line.
