The New Orleans Saints lost its 4th straight game Thanksgiving night at home as the Bills came in town ready to play and left with a huge victory. The game was never close as the Bills out played the Saints in every department. The Saint's offense was lackluster and the defense was its usual on again, off again defense with no continuity which is the way the Saint's defense has performed for the past several years. No real news there for the defense.
And once again the Saint's sports writers have egg all over their faces because they are incapable of being objective when evaluating the Saints. They predicted great things for the Saints before the season even started. One writer said this was Payton's best defensive club. Yeah, right!!! Then wrote an article predicting the Saints were poised to go on a run of their patented midseason winning streaks when they return from their bye week and gives reasons why, that do not add up.
And since the bye week the Saints have lost 4 of the past 6 games. So much for being poised to go on a run of their patented midseason winning streaks. The Saints have beaten only two teams with a winning record so far this year. Last year they beat only one team with a winning record during the regular season. It's not like the Saints have a record of beating a lot of the good teams with winning records.
This writer wrote commentary in Politidose prior to the start of the season as to what you might expect from the Saints and LSU this year dated March 25. It was more accurate than any predictions from the Saint's sports writers or the LSU sports writers. Both groups of writers are too close to the teams they write about to be objective, the reports have become more hype and cliches than anything else.
