Yeah but that team also had Rankins,Hendrickson,JackRabbit etc

As it stands right now

WR 2 Tre'Quan Smith
CB 2 Patrick Robinson

Then look at the 3rd string LB,DE and DT

This isn't the roster of the past 3 or 4 years.
Plenty of time to add some pieces but its not like there is a big pit of money to do it with.

Exactly. I don’t think we had to play from behind in any of those games. Defense and special teams held the lead. We have lost key players to both.
Even if we had Brees when he was in his prime I think we would still struggle with our current roster.
We could get lucky in the draft, players could step up, and we could strike gold with an UDFA. Highly unlikely though.
