Yeah, but they were probably the #1 or #2 defense in the playoffs. It was like watching a completely different team. Part of it was they got their safety back and I think part of it was Dungey sandbagging so there wouldn't be film on his schemes. He knew his offense could get him in the playoffs and then he let his defense loose. Big offense and no defense will take you part of the way. To go all the way you have to be good/near great in all three phases of the game.
