Gruden was in Metarie earlier this summer ... use some of the concepts he implemented/suggested. Screens, playaction on 1st down (see Detroit game last night), get the football out early. No need to stand back there with this terrible oline and get your QB destroyed & take more sacks.

It's a copy cat league. Do what the Lions did last night. Philly vs Bucs or MIA (Tua has taken only 1 sack so far) vs Denver.

Change it up, get more creative on offense. With the WR/TE & RB room, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be scoring UNDER 24 ppg.

Help out your defense. They are good enough but you can't expect them to be on the field all game (7 punts vs Pack) long.

Coaching matters. Even at this level.

He’s gonna run Kamara straight up the middle every time you watch. Almost as if he thinks he can will it to work.

+1.

I'll share a glarying stat (at least it stands out for me) here:

"The Saints have scored 21 or few points in nine consecutive games, dating to last season. That matches the Bears for the longest streak in the NFL and is the longest run of offensive importency since 2005 for the Saints"

.

Better fix this Dennis, Pete and Dougie Marrone.

It's not going to get any easier at this level & no one wants to hear the excuses. This team is loaded offensively.

At this point, I’d sign old man Jason Peters.

I believe he signed somewhere a few weeks back.

He’s on the Seahawks practice squad.

....Still losing, and badly.

Good to know that some players are performing well, but big picture our defense hasn't been very good (currently rank #18) over the last few weeks.

Tackling was poor vs the Bucs.

Defensive power rankings

Usual suspects (Niners, Eagles, Bills, Chiefs, Dallas) at the top.

One should wonder the affect of the defense spending so much time out there on the field due to the inability of the offense to maintain drives. Even the best defenses can get worn down when their offensive counterparts aren't doing their job. The one critique that I have had on the Saints over the past couple of years has been Carmichael's lack of production, whether that be in play design and/or play calling.

That pass defended stat is interesting, no doubt they are doing something well, but the bigger question is why are teams going at them so hard? My theory is they do not make a ton of interceptions, so keep going at them and eventually they will make a mistake. Just a guess...??

That makes perfect sense to me.
