Are some of you not watching the same game as I am?

Just because Brees has a poor game doesn't mean you overlook the problems on defense that have been glaring and consistent since about Week 4. The offense normally bails them out but the last few weeks they haven't. I guarantee you Brees has a better chance of improving his performance next week than the defense does. The Colts may or may not eek this one out in Dallas. Their average margin of victory is under seven points. Do you think if they lose this game or if they struggle down the stretch if Manning has a bad game or two they are going to look to upgrade their quarterback in the offseason?

The Colts, like the Saints, have a mediocre defense, and that's not a good thing to have in the playoffs. The people focusing on the defense are being practical. There is basically nothing the Saints can do to improve their strength at quarterback and very little they can do to improve their offense overall.
