Thanks for answering my question. I see all those as bright spots too.
I think without the injuries, the OL would have been good. I think the secondary was really good and they were injury plagued too, so that's a big positive to me.
I think there's a lot more good with the team than bad. I think the crazy amount of injuries, plus adjusting to the loss of Payton while still adjusting to the loss of Brees, plus Kamara's legal predicament and the Miami-Payton tampering issue played a big factor in the Saints being out of sorts.
That's a lot to adjust to and be distracted by. I think they've learned some things from this past year and that they'll improve.
