Offense looks great even without star receivers, the Defense looks like ****

There’s issues in the secondary. No doubt about it, but this far from the worse we seen and it’s not even close to being the worse defense in the NFL. The Seahawks are winning games with that sorry ass defense they have. Let’s look at the Panthers game.

The Panthers rushed for 37 yards! 2.6 yards per carry. This defense continues to be ELITE when it comes to stopping the run year in and year out. We gave up 246 yards through the air which isn’t too bad. We gave up 24 points, which is really decent and right around our average in games when Brees doesn’t throw a costly interception that results in 6. It’s really not that bad.

DVOA has the Saints at 10th overall, 16th vs the pass and 4th vs the run. I understand the logic behind saying Dennis Allen isn’t getting it done though. What really kills the Saints is the number of passing TD’s allowed. 2d to last in the league with 17 passing TD’s allowed..., only Atlanta is worse with 19, but they’ve played one more game. That stat just has to get better. And the last three games have shown the stat worsening. I’m with K on this one, I don’t think it’s a lack of talent on the field. That’s a bad, bad, very bad stat to have on your DC resume’, imho. It has to improve.

Rez, they were one player away named McCafery that would change that outcome possibly. Just saying our troubles aren’t over By a long shot. DA needs a foot in his asre if u ask me. I’m fed up
