Underhill article: “Saints moves are telling us what they felt the real problem with the team was last season”

Defense didn’t have that many injuries and couldn’t tackle to save their lives.
Allen was a terrible head coach, and I don't think that's a subject of debate at this point. The injury claim is just lame, but it does point to a lack of depth and weaknesses with FO. All teams deal with injuries, but good coaches can keep things stable or cover up deficiencies until they face a superior team. The Lions did this for half their season, and the Rams gave Philly their closest game after battling injuries through the year.
