When we're bad, Is it harder to watch a bad LSU offense or defense?

Give me 2011. Great defense that sets up the offense and makes them look halfway decent.

It's harder to watch a bad defense.

Bad offense.

Hate seeing a great defensive effort hung out to dry due to offensive ineptitude.

At least a good offense can still create some fireworks for viewers.

I would much rather watch bad offense with a good defense.

Incompetent coaching is hardest to watch

LSU's trademark in the history of the program is a tough defense. The fans (and myself) are happiest when the defense is good. When they're not good, we're lost as fans.

For me, it's harder to watch when LSU has a bad defense. Having a ferocious, run stopping, hard hitting, ball hawking defense is almost an identity for LSU. With a bad offense, I always feel our defense would bail us out and win us the game.

Agreed 100%


Give me a top 10 defense over a top 10 offense anyday

It's harder to watch a truly bad defense, and it ain't really close. I think one of the posters above me mentioned that a dominating defense can make an average offense look good--if only because they give the O a lot more time on the field.

A bad O can always make something happen if the opportunity presents itself (we compiled a pretty impressive record from 09-12 with generally subpar offensive play).

With a bad D, your offense can be pretty damned good and you'll still lose a bunch of heartbreaking games because no lead is safe from a halfway decent offensive attack.
