Preview of Saints vs. Vikings

Another game the Saints should win easily, especially in the Superdome.

I believe the defense gets its act together enough to at least flash the way they played last year.

If the defense continues to struggle, especially against lesser teams, would Ryan's job be in jeopardy?

I think after the last two performances Rob is already tight roping on job security, if this issue stretches for more of the season I think Payton will get rid

4 defensive coordinators and we still can't find a consistent defense.

Very true, but our stagnant offense is ranked #2 in the league, they should do better at the end of the games, but they do enough during to get a win, its been the defense both times that has failed to seal it for us.

2 weeks in a row we've had the opposing team pinned inside their own 10 yard line and both times they've drove the full length of the field for a score

How exactly is scoring 29.5 average points on the road stagnant?

Exactly. Late in the 4th quarter of each game the offense needed to score a TD and they did both times. Late in the 4th quarter of each game the defense needed to make a stop to seal the win. And both times, they didn't.

The offense isn't perfect by any stretch. The clock management sucked both times. However, in both games the offense did enough to win the game while the defense simply did not.
