It was one of the worst offensive performances in the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era: New Orleans Saints film study
 

In the wake of the New Orleans Saints' surprising 30-20 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, everyone seemingly has an opinion on what's wrong with the defending Super Bowl champions.

The offense can't function without Reggie Bush.

Drew Brees is distracted by his wife's pregnancy.

They're not executing well in several areas right now, especially on offense and special teams and it's costly them games they should win.
