This YTuber is not high on it

Not sure why this popped up on my YT feed as I'm not a Saints fan, but raised a few interesting points. The Saints were Top10 in Total Offense, Total Defense AND were Top3 in TO margin; yet, still missed the playoffs. He wasn't exactly bullish on DA, which is no surprise. He also wasn't real high on Mickey's deals.

yet nearly the whole offensive staff was fired or took another job on another team.

the thing about Allen and the current Saints era, I've yet to see a game where they get taken to the woodshed early and find a way to overcome it.

The Lions game this past season was a close as I've seen them to doing that. The Saints were down 21-0 after the 1st quarter and the final was only 33-28.

I think the Saints will be helped by their special teams (return game) more this season. Rizzi is a good special teams coach but I have my doubts about the decision makers just like the guy you're talking about in the Op.

Saints Offense seemed more times than not to be stale, stagnant, or stall early in games which lead to a lot of lead chasing gameflow and empty stats.

Top 10 in yards is not the same as top 10 in scoring

Same for the defense. If you have a big lead in the 4th...your offense will just run clock. Slow down the pace especially when your playing the caliber of QBs we were playing and struggling with or flat out losing to

This is so frustrating as it shows the roster was capable of being a contender but thanks to coaching we had like 3 games all season where offense and defense BOTH showed up

To like Mickey's deals, you have to be real high!

We are in the worst place you can be in the NFL, No Man's Land.

Not good enough to do anything of note, not bad enough to get a top 5 pick, and absolutely no easy cap space to sign big time FAs.

We are F'd for the foreseeable future.

changes need to be made from the very top FO people all the way down to the guys cutting the grass on the practice field.

sadly, i see nothing changing, until after we get new ownership, we are back to the days of struggling just to stay above 500 each season

Tell me one player on offense that puts fear into defenses? No, not Kamara. He's done, and always hurt. Not Olave. I'll hang up an listen..........

Our stats were deceivingly good because we played one of, if not, the absolute softest schedule in the league. We also beat up on teams at the end that were tanking (like we should have been).

This season is a bad coach with a old roster and no depth. I am looking forward to 2025 season with new GM and HC. Unfortunately, Who Dat nation sees this too.

It doesn't take a Youtuber to tell us that. I'm really not sure how anyone at all could be high on it.

We are at our lowest point since Katrina.

IMHO, the long-term future of this franchise is to end up with new ownership and moved to a larger metroplex.

I've no idea when that might happen. Not for the foreseeable future.
