Back in contention, Saints brace for tough stretch

Via AP on Fox  |  November 19, 2012
Defensive end Cam Jordan says the Saints may have surprised others but not themselves by rattling off five victories in six games to get back to .500 after an 0-4 start. Jordan says that with Drew Brees at quarterback and talent across the roster, the Saints expected to overcome early-season struggles.

Saints Nation: 5 Things to Look For in Saints @ Raiders

Via The Saints Nation  |  November 17, 2012
Gameday is here and with it comes a chance for the Saints to claw their way back to .500 for the first time since week 2! For them to get to 5-5 after an 0-4 start would be somewhat miraculous, but also necessary to have any shot at the postseason. The opponent is an extremely beatable one, but the "easier" games, which don't truly exist in the NFL, are the ones the...

Saints Nation: Offensive Player Grades @ Raiders

Via The Saints Nation  |  November 18, 2012
The Saints were both efficient and balanced on offense in this game. 28 passes, 28 rushes. They passed for 229 at 8.2 yards per pass (thanks to 75% completions) and rushed for 153 yards at 5.5 yards a pop. The last few weeks they've gotten away from Brees throwing for 400+ yards in the interest of balance, and it's made them more explosive. This was another all around impressive...

Saints Nation: Saints Raid Oakland, Cruise to 38-17 Win

Via The Saints Nation  |  November 18, 2012
Just like that, the Saints are back to .500. After starting the season 0-4, it's hard to believe the Saints are now 5-5 and right in the thick of the wild card race, but a convincing win in Oakland did just that. The Raiders look like a lost team in complete disarray, sure, but the way the Saints were able to come in and thrash them is a very encouraging sign. The defense played...

Saints Nation: Defensive and Special Teams Player Grades @ Raiders

Via The Saints Nation  |  November 19, 2012
Once again the Saints' defense got gashed for 404 yards, but this one felt a lot different, wouldn't you say? This defense still has major problems. Most significantly glaring in this one was extremely poor tackling, which led to so many of the big plays the Raiders had. So many of those 20+ yard gains could have been cut in half with proper tackling. But, enough griping...
