They say “numbers don’t lie.” Well, here are a couple of numbers about the New Orleans Saints’ season thus far.
2. The New Orleans Saints have the second worst record in the NFC. The only team with a worse record is the Carolina Panthers. The Saints defeated them in Week 1. Klint Kubiak seemed to revive Alvin Kamara and the run game. Derek Carr was flourishing in a play action dominant system. Maybe they can recapture some magic against the Panthers this upcoming week.
6. The Dennis Allen-led squad has suffered consecutive defeats for a month and a half. Spencer Rattler was at the helm for half of the games and Carr was responsible for the other half. The losses started close, but the Saints have been outclassed since Week 4.
2. This is the amount of wins the Saints have. Nothing to explain here. It’s been so long, that it was nice to reflect on the good times that were cut way too short this year.
6. This is where the Saints are currently drafting prior to Monday night’s game. Staying close to the top-5 should bring lengthy conversations about drafting a first round quarterback and possibly trading up for one.
Things are bad in New Orleans. The offense has been lifeless since Week 2, other than the first half against Atlanta. The energy has been drained from the fan base, and the season can be summed up with two numbers, 2 and 6. Ironically, that’s the Saints record.
