Possible, sure. I'm still sticking with the physics and efficiency explanation.

There could have been any amount of defenses the cube had to plow through. I find it tough to believe that with every available ship having been blown up at Wolf 359, all Earth had left were three crappy drones. Plus, if the cube DIDN'T disable everything on the way in, what were they gonna do when they got to Earth? Wait for them to show up?

Well, if the Fleet failed to stop the Cube, I doubt any of the the defenses inside the system would stand a much better chance. Besides, what are the chances of any help reaching Earth from the other planets? AFAIK, the Mars Defense Perimeter drones weren't warp capable. Each planet seem to rely on its own fixed defenses.

Also, if Borg assimilated Spacedock, and/or Earth's defense network, the Cube won't even have to do anything.

Or if they can manage to shut down the planetwide powergrid (which is a stupid idea anyway) a la "Homefront"/"Paradise Lost"...

Jupiter Station is in orbit of Jupiter, VGR "Lifeline." But the Jupiter Outposts are, now maybe I'm just nitpicking here, but I get the impression your confusing the two which is why I mention it.

I admit, I was wrong on that Saturn thing... I haven't seen the episode in years.

Well, if you edit out Shelby's psychosis, both episodes only run about eleven minutes.
