I agree completely.
I wasn't as worried about the loss of Newman until watching the game.
I thought we would hold our own, and i couldn't imagine the loss of one player having such a HUGE impact on our D.
This gave me two resolutions that are ABSOLUTELY obvious now, and not just assumptions:
1. We need to draft a dynamic CB in 1st round next year.
2. I think we can handle Miami and Chicago w/o Newman if he can't go on those, unlikely as that may be, but we will get destroyed by NE without him, based on what i saw from them today(though we'll have our hands full even with him)
