INGLEWOOD -- It's somewhat safe to say that the Saints' season is on life support. I wouldn't call it dead just yet, but we're almost there. New Orleans just lost its sixth straight game and is now 2-6 on the season. Under different circumstances, you might say that things could turn around and they have time, but that's simply not the truth here.
