Post-Sean Payton Saints hit lowest point in 15 seasonsThis team, to be fair, has faced dismal injury luck. But after a loss to the Steelers, the Saints need to confront a bleak future that holds an aging roster, a tenuous salary cap situation that has been a can kicked down the road several years now and no clear direction at quarterback. Making matters worse, New Orleans (3-7) doesn’t have a first-round draft pick in 2023 and doesn’t have its second rounder in 2024.
Coach Dennis Allen’s decision to stick with Andy Dalton (17-of-27 passing for 174 yards with one touchdown versus two interceptions) deserves criticism. But that’s merely one issue. New Orleans is ranked dead last in both turnover margin (-12) and giveaways (19). In the 15 seasons Payton coached, he went under .500 just five times and each of those were 7-9 campaigns. Not only are the Saints headed for a losing season, they may be headed for a series of them.

The only team I'd wish this on ahead of the Saints would be the Packers.  FTS
