Much like the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New Orleans Saints season came to an end over the weekend. By falling to 2 – 4 with a 27 – 21 loss at Kansas City, the hope for a Saints surge into the playoffs is about as likely as Steve Garvey pinch hitting a 5-run home run to tie the Cubs. The Saints went to KC threatening to make a season out of 2016, but left to the tune of the same old song, the one we’ve danced to for several seasons now.
Drew Brees had his 100th game with over 300 yards
passing, but the Saints again proved unable to translate all those yards into a
victory. I’m just wondering what Brees’
record is in those 100 games?
This was a game the Kansas City Chiefs went out and took
with several great defensive plays. One
was a deflection of a Brees pass that was returned for a touchdown. Then, late in the game, Mark Ingram had a
fumble punched loose inside the Chief’s 10 yard line. I’m no fan of “straight-line” Mark, but this
was a real take-away – a great play by the Chief’s defense. Meanwhile the Saints had enough penalties to
dig a Canal Street sinkhole, and wouldn’t know a big play on defense unless it
was handed to them.
So, now the Saints must entertain the Seahawks for a
nightmare on Poydras street on Halloween Eve.
Don’t get your hopes up, unless you’re betting on passing yardage. At this point, the Saints aren’t capable of
much else.
