Nothing about that is a fallacy |

2 of our 3 losses could have easily, and I mean VERY easily gone the other way and we'd be 5-1 discussing how our defense has dodged some bullets but stepped up when needed. I don't think we're as bad a team as our record indicates, but we're playing as bad as our record indicates. If that makes sense. |

We don't even need a great defense to win. Honestly, if we could just have a mediocre/average defense, the offense would take care of the rest. |

Re: New Orleans Saints face formidable challenge against Lions defense
true, and that is what seems so bad. I swear it is the line again this year. drew has no time. although he has limited sacks, I saw n article where his hurries are crazy.

Re: New Orleans Saints face formidable challenge against Lions defense
if we could get half of what we got from our d last year and our o would play the way it normally does, we'd run away with the division

The Saints need to play perfect football to be a great team. It may be too much to expect right now. But a team that simply cut down on mistakes on both sides of the ball could easily be formidable down the stretch. I believe (and hope) that message has been drilled into everyone over the bye.
