Just pick one....trying to see what everyone thinks the main problem is..

The O-line #1, D-line #2, Run game/LB's #3 can't decide which is worse.

I think a big part of our struggles in the running game is problems with the o-line. I also think play calling is an issue.

It's got to be the O-line. We fix that and the run game immediately improves and we prolong Brees career just a little bit longer.

The O had one bad game

The D had at least 8-9 bad games in a row.

I Oline looked shaky for weeks before they finally got exposed. They will get exposed again, and I truly fear for Brees life when we play the Giants and teams like SF in the playoffs with physical defenses. O-line HAS to be first because if Brees goes down we are ****ed. Period.

Coach needs to be with the Players. Petty squables go away. Things in general are addressed immediately.

Great question if you really sit and think about it.
I went with O-line. My reasoning is, this is a QB driven league. We don't need to have a shut down D to win. We won the SB with practically the same D we have now.

On Offense you HAVE to have some balance. We need to be able to run the ball effectively. This O line this year has been up and down. One week they play good, next game they act like its there first time playing with each other.

We solve our O line issues and everything will fall back in place. Do we need help on D, of course we do but we can win with what we have.

I voted O-Line...i think its the heart of the team..and right now..its in need of a defibrillator.

I have to vote D line, but it's not an easy choice.
What it comes down to, in my opinion at least, is that even when we're putting up 30+ points on offense, the D is still allowing too many points (except in the Indy game, of course).

The O's ability to put up lots of points week after week has helped hide the fact that our D needs lots of help.
In a week where the O struggles, it's very evident that the D can't hold up their end of the bargain.
