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

Panthers, Buccs, Cards, and Eagles games were all winnable of we had a halfway competent offensive coordinator.

Our defense isn't the problem.

Give me a second and I'll post the drive breakdown again.

ETA:

Here is the drive breakdown of the first half of the Eagles game:

First Quarter:
Eagles: 6 plays, 1mins 53secs, turnouver on downs
Saints: 7 plays, 2mins 30secs, PUNT
Eagles: 9 plays, 3mins 10secs, INT by Browner
Saints: 7 plays, 3mins 49secs, TD to Watson
Second Quarter:
Eagles: 12plays, 4mins 10secs, INT by Breaux
Saints: 4 plays, 46 seconds, PUNT
Eagles: 4 plays, 1mins 45secs, TD
Saints: 4 plays, 1mins 24secs, PUNT
Eagles: 8 plays, 4mins 14secs, turnover on downs
Saints: 8 plays, 3mins 29secs, PUNT
Eagles: 4 plays, 1mins 3secs, PUNT
Saints: 2 plays, 0mins 21secs, FUMBLE
Eagles: 6 plays, 1mins 2secs, FIELDGOAL

If you can look at that and blame the defense you're not worth responding to anymore.

Look at that fricking second quarter.

Our offense gave our defense a minute and a half of rest, 45 seconds of rest, and then 20 seconds of rest. And they still only allowed one TD on 4 drives until Brees fumbled it on his own 30 and the defense again held them to only a field goal.
