I really don't buy the RB excuse. Reggie Bush was overrated, and even when the Saints had Ivory and Thomas, you still seen Brees putting up 35-50 passes per game. They even said last year the Saints percentage of running the ball was the LOWEST in their franchise history. We lost our starting running back and we still tried to run it when we could. I know they have 4 good RB's on their roster now, and I believe Brees is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but if they have him putting up 35+ passes every single game then something is wrong.The Packers proved you can win a Super Bowl all banged up missing players left and right.That also throws the Steelers theory out the window from the 70's "We only lost to the Raiders cause we were missing both our backs". Saints did not build depth to their roster going into last season, after a Super Bowl win. The key to repeating is having good players to back up the starters late in the season think back to the 49ers great depth at position in the 1988 and 1989 Super Bowl wins.</blockquote>
