Which defense is better ? Indy or Minny

Your team has a 4pt lead with 1:58 left. You have to pick a defense to send out to hold it... which do you pick Indy or Minny ?

a lot closer than you think apparently

Id take Minny, but #s dont lie, Indy has no running game, thus teams win time of possesion

and even in losing TOP they give up a league low in points, not yards, but points

its a bend dont break defense...

point is in the context that caused you to make this thread is:

Favre does not have a huge advantage over Manning with defense behind him

its a very small advantage

Whether you want to admit it or not, there is no LMAO in comparing the two.

They are very comprable and the fact that you hold your breath when Indy defense is out there at the end is not really a reasoned argument

GL with your poll and keep them coming, Best thing about the Mall is everyone has a role here and it appears yours is posting polls.

We will beg to differ here and hope you get the results you want to "validate" your feelings.

Overall I think Indy's is better, but Jared Allen is a ****ing man beast. Instead of talking about Brees or Favre or any offensive player for MVP, think someone needs to give this guy his props.

Indy is depleted at most of the defensive positions. Their offense needs to score a lot of points in every game, with an exception to teams like Baltimore, that don't know how to seal a game.

The defense has given up more than 17 points only 3 times this year and they are 3rd in the league in scoring defense, so their offense does not always need to score alot of points to win. The fact they have many injuries and still are doing the job defensively(they totally shutdown Houston in 2nd half yesterday when they needed it most) shows how deep this defense is. This definitely a lot closer than most think. remember the 4th and 2 against NE? Some will say bad playcall, others will say GREAT defense...
