Many things can be pointed to why the New Orleans Saints have gotten off to a fairly poor start. One of the biggest things that has stood out so far has been the penalties from the secondary. New Orleans have been penalized 24 times for a total of 331 yards, the yardage being the most in the NFL. The result is that these penalties have killed momentum for the Saints and have put them in unfavorable positions to try and save themselves, which they’ve been unable to do. Some fans may say that New Orleans is being targeted by the referees, and while not every single one of these calls has been a stone cold penalty, that’s what happens when you commit as many as the Saints do.
