Defense wins championships, plain and simple.

More so than Offense, although PIT proved that wrong. For the most part though you are right, a good offense more times than not, can't outscore/overcome a bad defense.

Probably something like ND-9?

Who cares....hopefully ND loses.

Kelly should have been fired when the kid died because he had him filming on a scissor lift in high winds. Reason to fire him again, when ND had to vacate all the wins in the '12 and '13 seasons. Has never had a #1 ranked team, is 5-5 in Bowl games, should probably be 0-2 this season, and in todays cancel culture makes a stupid remark like he did last week..

Looked like the Bears defense last night is running the same system as the Hawks

I feel bad for the guy who catches the football after PAT's, he is going to have a long season!

It was pretty brutal. The inability to come up with a stop when needed was glaring. Hawks have at least seemed to address the situation with the addition of Jones & McCabe. Lets just hope Jones doesn't turn out to be Robert Quinn.

A lot of teams have the same problems hawks do it comes down playing sound defense and like theo says fundamentals of the game. Willingness and want which translates to competing hard every shift. Time will tell what this year's hawks team is a playoff contender middle if the road or bottom of the league team.

You left out the Kim what's her name sexual assault suicide. I'm not a Kelly fan he would not have survived in the Hesburgh era. ND can never be what they were before, no longer 135 scholarships more like 80. ND has no cake classes let alone higher entrance requirements. It's the "Intro to Football, Intermediate Football, Advanced Football," classes they don't have that makes it more difficult.

Chuck Pagano was not an idiot nor was Harry Heistadt. This will be the last year Nagy blames and fires assistant coaches because he and Pace are bye bye. Keeping Jimmy Graham over a better Left Tackle or Kyle Fuller is a joke. Then there's $24M for Folesdalton.

That helps to but how is that working for Edmonton and toronto? Also the construction of the team and if they the right balance and chemistry on the ice and off the ice.

See Leafs, no defense. You need a balanced team, good offense to keep puck on other end, as well as good defense to keep other team to the outside. You can’t win with just offense, when it happens it’s a rarity(Pit).

At some point you have to understand the team you have and coach to their strengths putting players in the best position to have success rather than doing the same thing that gets poor results over and over again.

One of the most insightful comments ever posted on this board.

Hawks have a roster of legit NHL-caliber players with some depth for the first time in years. If JC does not get results in the first 15 games, and does not make major adjustments by that point, he must be removed.

The zamboni driver is top notch, the Hawks continue to lose despite the driver's great work.

I'm sure the Olympics wants this to be the topic of discussion or focal point especially after the hole gymnastics thing

If you're going to extend blame out to Stan a lot of people in other fields will be off their BOD's. Sexual harassment happens every day in every organization.

Without commenting on the culpability of any of the players in this more than unfortunate incident, if what the alleged victims say is true, this goes well beyond the odd smirky comment or come-on (as bad as those are).

This is approaching sexual assault by Aldrich on the level of his actions a few years later that got him on the sex registry in Michigan, and those earlier that should have led to retribution.
