Opponent Ave Passer Rating (1 Viewer)

[dbg]

After 6 games we are ranked 29th in opponent average passer rating (108.2). The only teams worse are Minnesota who are 1-5 (110.4), Houston who are 1-6 (111.5), and Atlanta who are 1-6 (114.1).
Thats how good our offense has to play to cover up for how much our defense stinks. How does Dennis Allen still have a job? We cannot go far with this defense.

Subtract Drew Brees from the equation and like those other teams we too would be 1 or 0 wins.

Don't forget Kamara.

Thank you.

The QB rating differential is always one of the most indicative stats of success year in, year out. Almost always the superbowl winner is at, or very close, to the top of that list. Saints have been allowing high QB ratings every game this year. The only thing holding them together is how efficient Drew has been.

for what’s it’s worth Teddy had a higher QB rating than Drew today even.

Kamara’s been great but without Brees under center I don’t know we could quite get to the ~30 points a game needed to get wins.

I don’t know what Payton is going to do to fix it but I feel like scoring more points is a lot harder than doing something different with the defense.

If they don’t get better fast I fear what the Chiefs will do to them. Could be epically ugly.

I mean, what did they work on over the bye week?

You think scoring points in today's NFL is harder than playing defense????

The only really impressive throw Brees made was the TD to Cook. Kamara absolutely put this team on his back today. Come on give him some respect.

Without Kamara we are winless.

We are already scoring points, near 30 per game.

Do you think it’s easier to get that to 35 per game or simply the defense?

Scoring is up 16% this season. See the scores today? We need to be closer to 40 but everyone here thinks we have some kind of elite offense or something.

We have GOT to figure out how to score faster with bigger plays.

Hasn’t the big argument been that it’s the offense’s fault for putting the defense in bad positions? Yeah, and I didn’t see any of that today. Just more pathetic play from the secondary. From this point on, there should be no excusing our secondary. It’s horrible.

It's safe to say with the current state of our defense our season is over. We cannot be a winning team with this defense. We're coming up on a stretch of games where that's going to be made painfully clear.

Of course he won. He's the quarterback. They get all the credit don't they?

Wow you mean a team would have a worst record without their starting quarterback? Bold statement!!
