re: .

No.

The Saints still would have been undefeated at home.

They still would have refused to stick with the running game.

Because the running game was no threat, teams still would have played deep and forced the Saints to work the flats and underneath routes.

Brees still would have gotten pummeled in St. Louis, Carolina and Seattle(unless Gordon was a great interior blocker)

The weather conditions still would have been shitty in Seattle thereby forcing the Saints to abandon any down-field passing game.
