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

The DVOA stats show the same. The offense is ranked 13th in the 1st half, 26th in the second half.

We are also pretty terrible for every scoring differential except being ahead by 2+ scores, which goes back to what I said at the beginning of the season about passing efficiency being the differentiator between good and bad offenses. It’s great that we can run the ball well when ahead, but we need more firepower in the passing game for the running game to matter against decent or better opponents.

When you have 7+ starters miss 36+ games All the stats advanced or not go out the window for getting a real idea of what the offense and the coaching staff can do. We had 2 games, TWO of being healthy and we saw what happened. Who we played matters not because of the amount of great success we had, had we scored 24 pts in each of those games and just looked good, I'd understand saying they just looked OK. But we scored 40+ BOTH games.

Even healthy we didn't have anything close to a superstar on offense , the closest we came was AK. TH had some close to superstar games.
I think for all the missing starters and the fact that even our starters were not great Kubiak has done a a pretty darn good job.
