Saints Grades (Patriots)

I think these grades are a little generous. In my opinion it's a testament to our low expectations that we can be 2-8, with pretty much every area of our team a disgrace, and still seriously grade ourselves a "C". If I recall from college (it was some time ago), a "C" meant average. No one really wanted a "C", and you worked hard to do better. "B" was more in line with an acceptable level. I call our play anything but average. I would call a 4-4 record a perfect "C", average in the league.

Our performance, especially on offense is simply a failure, or if averaged over this year, slightly above an "F" but not good enough for a "D". Defense is pretty bad, but I would give them a solid "D" or "D+" - some games they've even had a moderate "C" (yesterday was not one of them). Special teams are terrible - no way around an "F" for this unit. Coaching I would call a steady "D".

Come to think of it, that's about how I rate that game yesterday.
