Saints and Pats crash same weekend

Does anyone else find it interesting that the New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots both crashed the exact same weekend, since it's widely known that the New Orleans Saints organization framed themselves after the New England Patriots organization.
This may be especially interesting in that both teams seem to be suffering from a failure in this philosophy of every player is expendable and replaceable etc. The Saints loss of Darren Sproles is beginning to seem more significant just as the loss of Welker to the New England Patriots appears to have been more of a problem than initially believed. it makes me began to wonder if the plugging in and play philosophy may actually have some fatal flaws.
I guess the question is does this reveal the problem in the thinking and philosophy of these organizations or is it merely a coincidence that both teams seemed to be suffering from identical problems at the same time. Or maybe just getting old and unable to replace key players due to salary cap restrictions.

Uh, the Saints have definitely not had the philosophy that every player is replaceable.
If we had plug and play philosophy, we wouldn't have signed Byrd. That's what cost us Sproles
We've also had opposite draft philosophies
Oline is our issue on offense, not sproles

Losing Welker was evident when they replaced him with a Welker-lite that can't stay healthy. Everyone and their mom knew that.
Losing Sproles and picking up Cooks was a down-grade, but will pay dividends in the near future. Randall Cobb of 2011 is not the Randall Cobb of 2012-now (even though GB was loaded w/ weapons in 2011).
The problem that NE/NO are both facing is the lack of consistent protection for their QBs and underperforming defense (even with big name acquisitions).
The problem that NE faces alone is lack of weapons outside of a recovering Gronk and Edelman.

I think our o-line hasn't gotten it done enough...
Also, our guys are dropping tons of passes.. drive killing ones... just very inconsistent.
Our offense can still score at will... the pats can not.
Now.... our D on the other hand... I just don't have an answer

At least most of the national media focus is on the Pats loss
