ESPN FPI disrepsects Saints’ defense, again

Well based on the first teams performance so far I can’t blame them.
They only know what they saw on the field. It would be easy for an outsider to consider last year as a fluke considering the defense was pretty much dead last in every stat for three years in a row prior.

We tried, but 14 million for Suh at his age is a lot of dough.

yards per game we were 17th
points per game we were 10th

no significant personnel losses, but we drop to 31st?

Sure. ESPN analysis: Close eyes and think about the Saints. Great offense. Terrible defense. The end.

Don't try to bring logic to a stupid fight. You'll lose.

Oh crap! I really thought that we'd be better than that! Oh well, I guess we still suck and last year was just a fluke.
