They’re not there yet, but the way the New Orleans Saints are playing at the moment is leading me to believe we’re looking at the worst team in the Sean Payton–Drew Brees era. There are still five more games for the them to either prove me wrong or validate my point, but let’s be honest here — they are bad.
With a handful of winning seasons, three division titles and a Super Bowl ring, the “Who Dat Nation” has been spoiled since 2006. But Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans put the Saints in their biggest hole of the year, where they’re now sitting dead last in the NFC South with a distasteful 4-7 record and very little chance, if any, at heading their repulsive 2015 campaign back in a positive direction.
