What NFL team has the best offense, best defense?

@Carolina Panthers- Both the Bills and the Rams deserved what they got. The Bills, getting an early 21-7 lead, acting like they had that game locked. Those damn Bills. And the Rams? Bradford throwing that 50 yd TD pass on their first possession, thinking they were gonna play a close game with Brady and Co., cocky bastads..... serves them right.....

Best Offense: No doubt, Patriots.

Best Defense: I'd go with the Bears as well. The Texans couldn't stop another powerhouse offense in the Packers. The Bears did lose to the Packers as well, but not as badly.

I have never liked the Patriots, I can't stand Brady or the Coach. I do, however agree with you. They have an explosive offense that really can't be stopped. They don't have a big time receiver and they don't need one, they can just spread the ball around.....

And unlike the other offense based teams (New Orleans, Green Bay, etc ) they can RUN the ball!the Patriots have some holes in the secondary but make up for it by their monster offensive attack. They will be hard to stop in December/January

Defense I'm going with Chicago as of RIGHT NOW. Their QB is playing at an average level, but it seems like every week they find a way for the defense to bail the team out and win big!! I doubt it lasts all year though. If you ask this question next month the best defense answer will change.

The Amazing Spider-Man is such a tool. All he cares about and takes notice to is the Patriots. Believe it or not, there's civilization outside of New England.

Yes. Because Sam Bradford throwing a touchdown pass on their first possession completely and utterly 100% warrants the clearly superior team scoring 45 unanswered points on them and Gronk dancing in the endzone like a male stripper. Face it, the Patriots were set up to win that game and win that game big. Why? Because they were in London, and they're pushing for a franchise there. So when they see the "Patriotic" and "successful" New England Patriots, they assume that they're the best the NFL has to offer and the true America's Team (even though everybody who lives in the states knows exactly who the Cowboys are. EVERYBODY). Do you really think any of those Londoners can name anybody on the RAMS? No. So when they see the ALL-AMERICAN NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS being dynamic right from the get-go, they say to themselves "Hey, we can have an ALL-ENGLAND equivalent be just as good!" So stop being a Patriots fanboy.

The best offense is between the Packers and Patriots. Only difference is, like CP said, the Packers have more class than to continue to pass the ball when you're already up 38-7.

The best defense is the Bears is terms of takeaways, but the 49ers defense hasn't given up anything all year, except to the Giants. They're tough. Seattle is also a few pieces away from being very, very, very good also. I like all three of their defenses.

I think that the best offense in the NFL right now could be either the New York Giants, or the New Orleans Saints. The Giants have a great receiving core and an elite QB in Eli. Their running game isn't horrendous anymore either. The only thing holding the Saints back from easily being the best offense in the league is the fact that they have no number 1 running back. Pierre Thomas could take that job easily, with Darren Sprolles being the receiving RB, but the Saints haven't done this yet. If I had to choose an offense to be #1, I would choose the Saints.

When it comes to defense, I would probably say that the Bears are the best. They may not be the most solid defense out there, but they are the most dynamic. They are 1st in interceptions, TDs, and they are 3rd in sacks.

Carolina...Your an idiot....Those were New Englands down games???? I'll give you arizona but Baltimore the Pats put up 30 in Baltimore and Seattle they had almost 500 yds. It's their defense that lost those games not the offense. Jets...29 points....If these are bad offensive numbers then I would hate to be a team to see there avg numbers.

OMG you are the ultimate hater.

The patriots have the best offense without doudt, brady is just to good people say he sucks but he's the best and all their wide receivers are just amazing.

Defense I'm going to have to go with houston they have a tough defense

Patriots vs texans is going to be a good game, best offense vs best deffense

Where was that explosive Patriots offense against the Cardinals, Jets, Seahawks & Ravens? They ran the score up against the Bills & St. Louis, don't tell me they have the best offense and it's not even close. People said that crap last year and look what happened.

I believe the best defense in the NFL are the Chi Bears.

------------------------------------------------------

The Patriots didn't have the last ranked defense in the league, they were middle of the pack in points allowed.

The Patriots have 30+ more points than anyone else because they continue to pass and run the score up against the teams that have already conceded defeat.
