Is it really our offensive line?

The problem is a defense is going to regres every other year because we are in a age where teams study up and figure out top defenses the prior year. Also, we don't have the players to play hard every single year with no regression. Injuries happen all the time. Brees was still getting a lot of flack in 2013 because of his road games. I have no idea who will win the south next year but I do know with our division now it is not gonna be easy to go 13-3 unless we go 10-0 out of the division.

The point was made in this thread though that Brees needs to be buttered up on defense. That he is becoming a diva and needs a knock you out defense to get him pumped.

I'm not buying that line at all.

All he really needs is a competent defense.

I say fix the OL & then see if Drew's skills have diminished.

What really bothers me is that his size may be the ultimate factor in him leaving before Brady.

When your QB is short and your offense is predicated on passing the ball.
You need a very good O-line.
We need to get back there

^Exactly, penalties will happen that will help offenses. It did this year. Refs fix games. Its always better to be good on offense than defense. I don't believe our defense was bad this year we came back against SF, and allowing 27 to Cincinatti is not bad when you consider we only had 10. The defense was worn out because of our offense. I don't believe Cincinatti was moving the ball every drive on us. We could not close in fourth though but the offense should never take their foot off the gas. Less than a two touchdown lead is never safe.
