"Since winning the Super Bowl in the 2009 season, the defense hasn’t been very good. ... Take Brees and the offense back down to what they were in 2007 and ’08" For the record: In 2008, Brees threw for 5069 yards, and the offense was #1 overall, averaging 29 points/game. In 2010, the defense was 4th overall in yards allowed, and 7th in points allowed. Oh, what a nightmare that would be!
