23. New Orleans Saints (LW: 22)
Let’s all come to an agreement on one realization — this year, the Saints are not good. Maybe they can get hot and run through the playoffs. Maybe this is simply a down year, from which New Orleans rebounds to a 12-win season in 2015. Maybe they will finish 8-8 and look respectable. Whatever eventually plays out does not negate the fact that, through 13 games, the 5-8 Saints have been nothing short of bad. Losing to a division opponent, no matter how weak the other team appears, is often forgivable. But getting blown out, at home, when a horrific season somehow is still salvageable is absolutely unacceptable. If New Orleans wants the division title, it’s going to have to play like it.
