“Someone said: “numbers never lie.” And that was a lie, because sometimes numbers lie. But they don’t lie all the time, and that’s the truth.”
Who saw this coming? The Saints went to Las Vegas a healthy 4-point road-favorite against the Raiders. A 34-24 beating later, New Orleans is 1-1 and licking its wounds back to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. In truth, we should have seen it coming: the victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season opener was one that left many fans wanting. Drew Brees has looked as mortal as we have ever seen him in a Black and Gold uniform and uber-talented wide receiver Michael Thomas is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain.
