Fair enough, but what about Green Bay's defense? Our o-line has been allowing sack after sack and Green Bay had the 3rd ranked overall defense and couldn't get to Brees.

I'll answer this - the Saints o-line made adjustments and came to play.
Same for Green Bay. We know their o-line had to step it up if they ever had any hope of outscoring the Saints in a shootout. Saints thought the same thing. Pass protection was good on both sides of the ball.

I will atribute this to the fact that GB only has one "difference maker" on the line and thats Mathews. They game planned to keep him quiet and for the most part was very successful. Mathews spent more time on his butt than anything. I am not saying there front 7 are not good because we all know they are but the lynch pin is Mathews. Who do they have to game plan for in our front 7? Thats a rhetorical question of course..we all know the answer to that.
