I have not yet bought into our "improved" defence, i think sunday Brees will carve us up for 450 yards total Offense and 35 points.

Our Offense needs to find some rythm, and start putting points on the board again, if we do that we might beat them in a shootout.

Final score

Saints 35

Packers 21

I thought this was funny.

If you are writing for a British publication, use “defence,” but the American “defense” has the advantages of greater antiquity, similarity to the words from which it was derived, and consistency with words like “defensible.” The pronunciation used in sports which accents the first syllable (“DEE-fense”) should not be used when discussing military, legal, or other sorts of defense.

People in sports use “defense” as a verb meaning “defend against,” as in “the team couldn’t defense that strategy.” Outside of sports talk, “defense” is never a verb.

I have this problem in the UK when talking about football.

They never understand my pronunciation of the word defense (despite my being British).

To me it separates the two words by associating it with football.

I know what I'm talking about anyway.

Formed Merseyside Nighthawks. British Champions 1992. Packer fan for 32 years

I feel very wrong now!!!!!!!!!

yeah I get a bit annoyed when people don't know how to spell defense correctly. (Exceptions are made for the Commonwealth Nations. They just don;t know any better.) IE: "Leftenant". PFFFT.

It's pretty common knowledge that ...
defense is the American spelling (that even spell check understands)
defence is the British spelling (spell check thinks is wrong)

Unless you don't trust the Oxford dictionary .

If not you can always check out Websters dictionary .
