The NFL network guys (Ross Tucker??) mentioned that if you don't gameplan against a zone blocking team, you can get gashed pretty good against those stretch plays. If you spend a week preparing for it, its not that much harder to defend. He did agree that our tackling was surprisingly poor though.

I wouldn't worry just yet.

After drinking heavily last night, I have since changed my mind.

Seriously, I think the biggest potential detriment is the loss of Sean Payton for the year. I'm a huge believer that he makes the magic happen.
