Saints 1st half offense ranked 9th. 2nd half offense ranked 27th

I get a similar vibe watching the ridiculously injured Pels - they have enough talent to stay competitive for a quarter and sometimes a half, but the lack of quality depth always catches up

You can only scheme so much and lack of quality depth means you don’t have a plan B or C
Once plan A is figured out
It’s partly why Rattler was such a shot in the arm - instant plan B

I think there is a difference. The Saint start a game missing a bunch of players and have a plan and start ok then more players get hurt and we just can't overcome that. That's not poor coaching that's just not having the players to execute the game plan. The Pels are only down 2 starters now, granted it's the 2 main starters. but in the last couple games they start out well then lose focus and hustle, do stupid things and have a lead and lose the game. Tonight was a great example. That's BAD coaching
