10 of 20 quarters this year they have been absolutely nonexistent. They struggle to move the ball for long stretches. The passing game has been anemic for Saints standards. It's almost like our receivers were non-existent Sunday. You could argue that the offense has been pathetic for four of five games this year.


Thankfully they've got a defense creating turnovers and giving them short fields to disguise how bad they've really been. Throw in garbage time stats and TDs and it's really hidden (Minnesota, New England).

Before the idiot comes in and says they scored 52 yesterday, no they did not. I'm sure they will figure it out but 5 games is a large enough sample size to be concerned. I'm sure the stats are fine after the 52 burger, but if you watch the games you know how inefficient they've been.

yep, people talked about defense all the time, its the offense that needs to get better and more efficient. Better line/protection/ snead back... i think they will be fine.

Up until the midpoint of the 3rd quarter, they played a great game. With the big lead they let off the gas and tried to milk the clock. The offense isn't anything to really worry about, especially if we stay committed to running the ball.

Beginning to think you are Breesus' not-so-alter ego.

Massive oline depth and injury problems tend to hamstring an offense. Nothing new. Never addressed. Carry on.

Lots of truth to the OP, but we're also spoiled when it comes to offense and appreciative of anything we can get defensively. So, while I largely agree, some of what it is going on could be slaying the fatted calf for the prodigal son.

The full offense just got back together for one game.
