I think we are a little better than #28. Not much better. Maybe 18-23.

Not sure how many people can dispute this. At the very least, this team has shown they are a fringe playoff team that just isn't good enough to get in. Not sure how that equates to being the 5th worst team unless you are putting all the weight on the cap situation.

Aging Cam, AK, and DD, uncertainty on Latt & Ram coupled with the atrocious drafting since 2017 and it’s not hard to project the Saints in the bottom 20s.

Like this year, with the NFC South weakness the Saints record for 2024 will likely have the Saints looking better than they really are. We’re in the 3rd inning of a lost decade due to horrific ownership and management.

in a horrid division, with a easy arse schedule, and caught several breaks in that schedule....and still not a playoff team.

This team was not good and had 2 wins over teams above .500 I believe.

but arguing if they're the 5th worst team in the league or closer to 10-12th worst sums up the dennis allen era pretty well

Because:

We aren't going to get better, we have no money to do so and don't have significant or high draft picks.

Our players are getting older and we can't get rid of them.

The schedule this year will be MUCH MUCH harder on paper.

When you factor in our stupid owner and GM, that drops us 5 spots.
