They've basically taken a half off every week. That's not acceptable. You really are one of those ppl who can't force himself to blame the offense but the truth is this isn't the Brees/Payton offense we worshiped from 08-13 and it's not even close.

Nobody is saying it is.

Both offense and defense had rough starts to the season, and both are coming around. Brees is still Brees and can still move the ball. Getting rid of AP is going to go a long ways in re-establishing the identity of the offense. That was a big distraction and wasn't doing anybody any favors.

The defense is playing amazing and I love watching it. But I'm not going to shite on the offense, especially since they've had to carry the sorry arse defense for years, having to pretty much score on every drive to stay in the game.

We're going to get a complete game before long, I know it.

Also, lets not pretend the defense was lights out Sunday. Still room for improvement.

I think you're misremembering some stretches we had those years when our oline would struggle.

Like in 2013 when we had a stretch of scoring:

17, 7, 31, 16, 13

The great Saints teams relied on defense to win a good bit of games.

Offense is 3rd in DVOA despite the oline injuries. Jesus
