Saints lack of a pass rush is an issue. This will be an off season (FA or draft) priority. Not having Alex Okafor is a big deal. Hopefully we get Trey back on Sunday.

When Cam Jordan gets triple teamed and you still can't get to the QB there is a serious issue with pass rush.

Relax, the "Chris Paul of the Defensive Line" will get an assist!

Sorry.

It's been crap for a while now.

You lead the league in plays of 10 yards or more, yet you rank near the bottom in third down efficiency?

You are not built for postseason success.

Feast or famine.

I point to SP's playcalling.

Re: Saints underwhelm in final audition before the postseason

Offense put up 17 pts vs the now 5-11 Bucs. At that rate, the D better hold Carolina under 7 or we gonna get beat.

Or our Special Teams can get us 2 TDs and only give up 1 TD instead of the 1-for-1 we got yesterday.

But the Dome is safe...no better place to jumpstart the O.

This...totally agree. We are fairly predictable on third down
