Saints defense has forced 1 punt in 17 possessions

Possibly something to that. But it’s also how teams play against the Saints. By reputation if you’re going to play against New Orleans you have to come in and be willing to have an all out offensive game plan. Opposing teams are doing that. Payton’s offense is snails pacing down the field at 3 yards a time. Something has to give. That work your way down the field and eat up clock and defenses only works if you’re putting TDs on the board. If not, you see what happens. Teams come in for blood, defense, which is built to manage games not enforce will, will eventually give up points. The offense cannot hit that high level anymore. It’s like Carl Smiths offense with Steve spagwhaterehisnameis defense.
