A stat that is going to cost the Saints this year if it doesn't change.

Of the Saints 9 wins, 7 games have ended in a one score victory (7 points or less). The good part is, is that they are 7-0. But, they can't keep rolling the dice when I look at this stat. This is a breakdown of the 7 NFC teams that will most likely be in the playoffs. It is the ratio of TDs to FGs made on all scoring drives. These are offensive stats and do not involve special teams or defensive TDs. The percentage at the end represents the TD% for the total number of scoring drives.

Teams TDs/FGs/TD%
G.B.--- 31 / 13 /.704
Minn--- 35 / 15 /.700
Seat--- 34 / 15 /.693
Phil---- 27 / 14 /.658
S.F.---- 35 / 20 /.636
Dall---- 33 / 19 /.634
N.O.--- 26 / 23 /.530

The Saints have to change this before the playoffs. Kicking multiple FGs in a playoff game usually leads to a loss. Just ask Peyton Manning.

Yes, hut in three of those 7 games. Drew is responsible for the other 4. It's a team issue, not a QB issue.

Lack of RECEIVER options outside of MT. JC is improving in the scheme which should help, but Kamara seems to be dealing with an injury and not himself (been discussed many times)............but that’s it. The FO dropped the ball 2 years running on this issue. They are still one of the top FO teams in the game though

Most games in the NFL do ,and the rest of your post is garbage. You win by putting more points on the board than your opponent. Also you will not score a TD every drive and you are also forgetting we had a backup QB hold us down for 5 games. I like Teddy, but he is not Drew. We will be fine going into the playoffs.
