The New Orleans Saints are a mediocre football team. That’s just the reality right now. Their offense struggles to shift gears and their defense has a hard time finishing games. They rank last in the NFL in turnover differential (having given up 7 more fumbles and interceptions on offense than they’ve taken away on defense) and are tied at No. 21 in scoring differential (having put up 141 points on the scoreboard while yielding 158 points on defense).
And, yeah, that’s kind of the story for all four NFC South teams right now. They’re all playing bad football. No team in the division has a winning record. It’s been enough for the Carolina Panthers to make a change at head coach. The Saints probably should be next, but there’s nothing to suggest they’ll even consider it.
