fair story

Guess things could be worse...

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.

We're getting little to no collapse of the interior opposing passer pocket...

You know the Saints are aware of the grumbling because local media hacks or writing these apologists articles like Rankins being the Chris Paul of the Defense...

Rankins was billed as the next Aaron Donald; while I didn't expect him to be as dominant as Donald, I certainly don't think two sacks in his first full season (actually a regression from his half rookie season) justifies the No. 12 pick...

And if the draft sucked balls, we should have been either moving up to get a special player (Ramsay) or, what I'd prefer, moving back and getting much needed depth for this team...

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.

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