Not to mention all the injuries to a defense that wasn't stellar to start with.

Getting Greer, Porter, Sharper, Gay, Young, Shanle, Fujita, Moore, Shockey, and Thomas all back to 100% will totally change both sides of the ball.

Odd how the media always points to injuries affecting the popular teams but dismisses them when discussing the Saints.

To me this is the biggest factor -- defensively we got over the hump from last year, but the margin for error is thin. We just are not good enough to lose our starting cornerbacks, play with less than all our starting LB's and lose our best DT and remain potent on D.

Hopefully we will be healthy by the divisional round. Too bad the media is too lazy to discuss this.
