[QUOTE="Southpaw, post: 409062, member: 5186"] Even if the Saints had a better run attack than they did, do you really think it would have made that much of a difference? When Brees needed to make plays and put up points he was having success doing it without a running attack. Defensively they were terrible and that was the main reason for the loss. There were several blown coverages in the red zone and the tackling was **** poor. The game was never really out of their reach until they gave the Lynch TD run. If I remember correctly as well, they also had signed Julius Jones and played him that game and he coughed up the football on a run play which also likely contributed to the loss as well. I don't know why you are putting so much stock in our lack of running attack. It has yet to catch-up to us and there is no indication that it will. Call our offense one dimensional but as predictable as our offense may be, opposing teams still can't slow it down. In a lot of our short losses last season a common denominator may have been our lack of rushing attack, but Rodgers wasn't playing to near the level that he is right now, nor was our defense. Also in those losses there was no James Starks. Our starting back was Brandon Jackson and he wasn't very good. Even for arguments sake, lets say the Saints DID lose because they didn't have a run game. We at least have a back that is capable if we need him. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. I'm not worried, if we need Starks or Grant to ram it down their throat, they can do it. I wouldn't call the Seattle game a cold weather game. I'm talking about the loss to Chicago. [/QUOTE]
