Not so long ago Belichick and LeBeau were getting phrase from their peers as those defenses were dominating. What has changed? I agree with the masses more 3-4 receiver sets. The real question here is why are there more 3 and 4 receiver sets? Because of the outstanding athleticism on defense, that requires offenses to spread them out. Some say the game is evolving, I say reverting- as in back to what the AFL did in the 60's- let it fly on offense. ---- Winning isn't everything- its the only thing!

But one things we've seen in the NFL is that everything (offense and defense) go thru cycles. Whereas we were in a big RB cycle until the last couple of seasons, we are now in a big QB cycle. ---- On any given Sunday any fantasy team can beat another, only to still lose Monday night.
