Now the Saints actually are in a bit of trouble. Normally I could pass off losing two road games, one to a division rival, the other to a team that historically given them trouble.
But the way they lost in those games would concern me. Two straight defensive collapses for the 4th ranked defense in the league last year. They just look completely out of sync on the back end at the moment. I don't know what Ryan is doing.
P.S. That Smith fumble always looked like an incomplete pass to me. It looked incomplete in live motion, and the replays confirmed it.
