When you lose the offensive ability to shorten the length of the game (via the run), a horrible defense will be exposed by every opponent. Look no further than the 2006 Redskins. The Saints offense can't score quickly, nor can it produce long methodical drives. It's very mediocre right now.

I believe they have 0 sacks and 1 turnover...that's not going to win you very many games.
Brees needs to be dead on because the defenses are stuffing their run and not respecting those WR's.
