The New Orleans Saints came off their much needed bye week
with their batteries recharged, their legs rested and their psyche
refocused. So, they zipped over to Houston
and promptly delivered a performance even more lackluster than their last. The Houston Texans spanked them 24-6, a
punishment that was fully deserved. It
moved the Saints into a “lost season” mode that they haven’t experienced in
November in a very long time. Can you say wasted
December?
If you had told me that after 12 weeks the Saints would have
more wins than only 6 teams I never would have believed you. I’ve listed the things the Saints can’t
do. Now let’s list the things that they
CAN do. …………………………
In this disastrous loss, the Saints failed to score a
touchdown for the first time in 155 games, ending the second longest streak in
NFL history. Drew Brees also had his
streak of 45 games with a touchdown pass snapped. At this point the Saints are inept.
So, while there are many problems with the Saints, here’s
one more that I will mention before I retire to watch some real football.
Saints depth chart at wide receiver:

2.
3. Brandin Cooks
4. Willie Snead
When a tight end, Ben Watson, is your most reliable threat,
it’s time to go after some wide receivers.
Of course they have needs just about everywhere on both sides of the
ball. They are like the guy that walked
up to the airline counter and said, “Give me a ticket.” The desk agent said “to where?” He replied, “Doesn’t matter, I’ve got
business everywhere.” Which is exactly
where the Saints have problems.
