re: Saints ranked dead last in total defense heading into week 6

Pointing out the defensive deficiencies isn't singing the offense's praises. My entire point is that this team is bereft of talent across the board, in every facet of the game.

We knew the defense wasn't going to be good after the youth movement along with the loss of Junior and the injuries to Byrd, Lewis, and ell

But they've kept us in ball games. 2 turnovers along with 2 turnover of downs last game. 2 huge turnovers in the Bucs game, the entire cowboys game, etc

Starting field postion on Phillys scoring drives:

PHI 19 - 7
NO 46 - 3 (after fumble)
PHI 20 - 7
NO 13 - 7 (fumble)
50 - 3
PHI 17 - 3
NO 4 - 7

Offense hung them out to dry and they did their part. The only game they truly sucked was Carolina, and they still managed to get our offense the ball back with a chance to win
