NEW ORLEANS — One thing you can say about the 2023 Saints team is they're consistent. Unfortunately, I don't mean that in a good way

The things they struggled with early in the season are still a problem, like containing a quarterback who can run and scoring touchdowns in the red zone.

The Saints really haven't gotten any better at those things. Sure, the result might have been different if not for the Saints' two giveaways, but the reverse is also true.

Let's start our four takeaways:

#4 Badger Ball

Tyrann Mathieu single-handedly gave the Saints a chance. If not for Mathieu's two interceptions. The Falcons might have won this game by 20-plus.

Takeaways have been a strength of this team all season. The Saints have 20 thru 11 games.

That's tied for third-best per game In the NFL. That might be the lone positive.

#3 Offense not good enough

At number three, here's the reality: the Saints' offense just wasn't good enough Sunday to win.

First of all, the pick-six is so hard to overcome. I went back a decade and looked at every Saints game with a pick-six. This is the craziest one in Detroit 2017, three pick-sixes in one game. Marshon Lattimore and Cam Jordan are for the Saints, and A'shawn Robinson for the Lions. The Saints won. Throw that one out. ...

Yikes. The New Orleans Saints came out of their bye week and took a loss to the Atlanta Falcons which didn’t just shuffle the NFC South standings — it also dropped the Saints down past several conference rivals in the NFL playoff picture.

Here is how the Saints stack up among their peers:

Saints seeing signs of patience wearing thin, frustration growing as mistakes continue

NEW ORLEANS — During each of Alvin Kamara's first four NFL seasons, the New Orleans Saints were a playoff team and even the NFC's top playoff seed during the dynamic running back's second year on the club.

So Kamara knows what it feels like to be on a team of such quality, and it's not a feeling he has now.

The Saints (5-6) missed a chance to take control of the NFC South when they lost to Atlanta on Sunday and enter Week 13 plagued by numerous injuries and lingering red zone issues that are sinking their season.

“We don’t have an identity as a team,” Kamara said. “We’re a team that...

It’s official: Jason Pierre-Paul is leaving the New Orleans Saints after just one game in the black and gold. Pierre-Paul announced his previously-reported departure for the Miami Dolphins in a post from his official Instagram account, which was shared by NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. Because Pierre-Paul was on the Saints’ practice squad he was free to entertain offers from other teams willing to sign him to their 53-man roster, so the Saints will not receive any compensation for his loss.

Pierre-Paul is from South Florida where he starred at Deerfield Beach High School in the...

Report: Dolphins poaching Jason Pierre-Paul off of the Saints practice squad

Jason Pierre-Paul hardly had time to get his photo taken in a New Orleans Saints uniform before leaving town for a new opportunity. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Miami Dolphins are expected to sign Pierre-Paul from the Saints practice squad, having lost a key starter (Jaelan Phillips) to a season-ending injury.

Pierre-Paul played 17 snaps in the Saints’ Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, totaling two tackles without registering a quarterback pressure. He wasn’t going to get many reps in New Orleans with Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson on top of the rotation while Tanoh...

Numbers do lie: Saints lost the turnover battle vs. Falcons

If you simply look at the stats at the end of the game, you’ll see the New Orleans Saints forced two turnovers and gave up two turnovers to the Atlanta Falcons. Mathematically, that means each team tied in the turnover battle. Numbers do lie, or at least don’t tell the full story.

Despite having the same amount of turnovers, New Orleans’ turnovers were met with more consequences. Both of the Saints turnovers came in the red zone and took points off the board. Derek Carr’s interception to Jessie Bates III was returned for a touchdown, taking points away from the Saints and directly giving...

Dennis Allen says Saints have fast, explosive offense and opportunistic defense

NEW ORLEANS — A day after the Saints fell to the Atlanta Falcons head coach Dennis Allen was asked about the team's identity.

"I think we have I think we have a fast, explosive offense. And I think we have an opposite opportunistic defense," Allen said on Monday. He also said there are some areas in both phases the team needs to improve on.

In Sunday's game against the Saints, "explosive offense" failed to score a touchdown. They had five red zone trips and were unable to score a touchdown each time.

Rookie kicker Blake Grupe accounted for all 15 of the Saints' points. He made 5 of 6...

Saints could be without each of their top wide receivers in Week 13 vs. Lions

An already shorthanded New Orleans Saints receiving corps could be running even more thin during Week 13’s game with the Detroit Lions. With Michael Thomas out of action on injured reserve with a knee injury, the Saints planned to lean heavier on second-year pros Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed — but they both went down with injuries of their own in Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Olave suffered a concussion after slamming his head to the turf in an awkward fall, having adjusted to an underthrown pass from Derek Carr deep down the sideline. Most players in the concussion protocol...

Dennis Allen might be delusional about the 'explosive' Saints offense

The New Orleans Saints offense is in a bad way, but don’t tell Dennis Allen. Their head coach acknowledged some critical mistakes in Sunday’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons — a penalty here, a fumble there — but Allen missed the big picture in reflecting on his team’s offense.

When asked about Alvin Kamara’s postgame comments suggesting the Saints lack an identity on offense, Allen disagreed.

“I wouldn’t say we don’t have an identity,” Allen began, as transcribed by ESPN’s Katherine Terrell. “I thought we ran the ball effectively … We were able to get the ball down the field effectively.”...
