Saints have been great in October but nose dive in November (1 Viewer)

[St.Dan]

Since 2014 they are 9-3 in October.

November: 2-6.
December: 4-4.
January: 1-0.

This will probably be the make or break month and its not going to be easy.

@ 49ers. Does this game scream let down to anyone? Coming off an emotional win and they don't play as well on the road. They SHOULD win this game but the Saints must go out there and take care of business against a poor team. Hopefully they are healthy on defense.

vs Broncos. Another tough defense coming in at home. Playing at the dome should provide a boost.

@ Panthers. Not the same team as last year but divisional games are always tough. It is also a short week playing on TNF.

vs Rams. They're not good, but those damn Rams have our number. Game is at home though with a mini bye, so that's nice.

3-1 is a realistic possibility. I see Broncos and Panthers more questionable than 9ers and Rams. 2-2 wouldn't be the worst thing but that would put them in a tough spot heading down the stretch. Obviously another 1-3 in November would kill their playoff aspirations.

I see this 9ers crucial and maybe set up some good vibes for the rest of the month.

2014 in and of itself was a nosedive season. Remember the nice streak we had in November when we could field a defense that was at least "serviceable" ? It can be that way again if the D keeps taking baby steps forward.
