I have been a fan of high powered offensive teams that too many times could not hold a lead late in a game.

I have also been a fan of defensive teams that could not score to put an opponent away.

A high powered offense may be more "entertaining" to watch, but it is still very frustrating to watch a weak defense blow a lead and lose. Who remembers Palmer throwing for 450 yards and losing to the Chargers?  Or how about throwing 6 td passes and losing to the Browns?  There was nothing "fun" about watching us lose those games.

I was at the game in Cleveland. It was weird, Browns fans hated their QB, he came out and could not hit the side of a barn early and we jumped to a lead. Browns fans were booing. Then, next thing I knew we were losing and Browns fans switched their hatred to Bengals fans in the stadium, we had a group of 8 guys and we were being nice when we lead, next thing we know they want to start a fight.

Yeah, not a fun game to lose.

I also said balanced, with run defense stingy. It is hard to create long time consuming drives against our defense if teams are unable to run on them (less than 80 yards a game). That keeps our offense on the field and hopefully get them behind and they are pass only so we can create havoc.
