True, but the difference between the "Dream Team" and us was that we have a HoF QB. I mean sure Mike Vick made it look flashy, but he was never even close to Brees level of play.
I just find it hard to have a losing season with a Hall of Fame QB, a good run game, and good receiving weapons. Something got overlooked somewhere in the off season. Plus that draft we had was abysmal so far. I mean unless SJB comes out and plays at a pro bowl level i don't see how it wasn't the worst draft in the SP era.

The most important positions on the field got overlooked on both sides of the ball. The O-line and D-line were not upgraded at all, in-fact you could argue we downgraded positions this year. It doesn't matter how good Brees is if he doesn't have time. It doesn't matter how good Lewis and Byrd are if there is no pass rush.

You win and lose games in the trenches and unfortunately this scouting department lost sight of that. Look at what Dallas has done by upgrading their lines...
