Your argument is that back to back 6th seeds proves what it takes to win Championships?
Its just too simplistic.
Why would offense win games but not Championships? Are Championship games different? Why would defense win Championships but not games?
Teams win games, teams win Championships, offense is half of the equation, defense is half of the equation (well st's have a share too, but you get my point)
That cliche is from a long time ago when the game was very different than it is now.
Well, when you only cover one side of the ball, offense, like NO did until GW.
Everything depends on constant production and no problems.
2006 we just surprised teams at how fast and explosive we were, but did not have the run game needed in the cold. Funny thing is we might have beaten the Colts in that Dome.
2007-2008 Major injuries on offense with the worst defense. Lance Moore was are #1 receiver in 2008. We lost 7 games in 2008 by 3pts . Hence why SP drafted kickers, and they called him crazy.
As an example we lost more people to IR or injury ever in 2010, but our defense was ranked #7 so we squeaked into the playoffs.
I think if we had GW in 2006 we would have been much more competitive over the years. Maybe give us 2-3 games and earn a playoff spot.
I think his point is, and I might be incorrect about this, when your one dimensional its more of a crap shoot or gambling. NE or GB don't have near the bad defense we had in those years. Truthfully it was just Brees keeping the offense efficient with rookie players.
