That isn't how the NFL works though. Jacksonville had a good offense too. They played some great offenses outside of their division too, including being the first team in the Brees/Payton era to hold us out the endzone

That is the crazy thing about the NFL. You can lose any game. The Saints 2012 defense had a shutout. The Browns beat the Saints in 2010 and the Rams in 2011.

But the Texans weren't included in those numbers as we played them 9 games ago, and our offensive line was murdered.

And I hear you on competition. Even adjusting for that, they came out #8. I don't like looking at total O or D either, as it is misleading. The Saints did not have the #2 offense in the NFL last year, but the offensive line completely changed after Peat and Kelemete started playing more, even with Armstead's absence. I think it was a mistake to have Kelemete play G instead of tackle last night.

This thread was started, along with my other one I think I had, due to all the negativity surrounding Brees and the extension. Just trying to give perspective.

Hell, 631 was filled with idiots last night blaming the season on him. Think it is time to upgrade next year.

Sorry for being bitchy. Flew out of Nola at 6 am to head to work. Been a long, procrastination filled day
