New Orleans Saints 0 - 4 start was not a fluke. Simply put the team has gone through so many issues over the past several months that the Saints are no longer viable in 2012. No Drew Brees is not the "blame" he continues to be one of the best Quarterbacks in NFL history. No I am not criticizing the game plan of the Saints or the toughness of the offense.
Unfortunately the Saints are the only team in the NFL with a tougher "Offensive Line" than a "Defensive Line" the only team where wide receivers Marques Colston and Lance Moore are tougher than the DB's and Safeties. Since "Bounty Gate" the Saints defense has gone undercover, their in hiding, "Wanted", and running away from the law. What has Roger Goodell done to the Saints? No not in terms of players and coaches being suspended but in terms of stealing their heart and toughness. Why are the Saints playing like Betty Crocker cooking Shortbread cookies in the kitchen?
In our NFC playoff prediction preview the Saints were not listed as a playoff team mostly because I feared the Saints schedule was one of the toughest in the NFL. Saints next three games Broncos, Eagles and Falcons its conceivable the Saints lose all three games. Mostly due to their lack of aggression and hunger on defense.
Much of the preseason talk surrounding the Saints was due to Sean Payton and Drew Brees not controlling the offense together. Payton's absence was suppose to leave a void in the offense as Brees struggled to find the offense with out his head coach. Through the first half of the season up to week 8 Brees is currently the NFL leader in passing yards per game and has dialed in 18TD's.
The criticism by a few Saints fans that Drew Brees is all about his stats or performing in a selfish manner this season is outrageous. Saints fans wake up place the "BLAME" put the "FAULTS" on the shoulders of the defense. Through darts at the fact Mark Ingram has failed to become a #1 running back option. Without improvement the Saints will not make the playoffs but with a glimpse of 2009 and a few Brees miracles and the Saints can also turn this season around.
