Unless - or until - some opponent provides a blueprint for how to stop them, I'm not sure where they end up at the end of the season.. might run the table, the way they're playing.
To me, it's like NE and Brady when they were at their zenith.
The only teams that beat them were the ones doing whatever it took to get pressure on Brady.
If you're gonna lose, go down swinging, IMO. Bring the house as much as you can. Brees can't throw very far on his back.
If he beats you, he beats you... but it's better than sitting back, giving him 20 seconds to find the open guy and death by a thousand cuts (passes).
That's all I can think of at this point in the season, given how they're playing.

Smith dropped under %2 of the passes thrown his way a Central Florida. If he can get open then I think he can catch it.
The Eagles has surprisingly good coverage on the Saints receivers but Brees had lots of time and was making perfect passes. Tough combination with tall receivers with good hands.

The Panthers aren’t looking like much of a threat right now. Seems the Saints got some smooth sailing ahead.
Divisional games against non awful teams are never smooth sailing. See us vs. Seattle.
This is what I'm thinking.
KC is as close as you get to NO right now, IMO.
In fact, they provide just as big of a challenge as NO (Mahome's elusiveness vs. Brees quick release). If Phillips can come up with a way to limit them to a decent score (<30), I'll have some hope.
If they score > 40? Tells me Phillips still hasn't come up with sufficient answers... and that will concern me greatly.
I guessed total points at 87... so that tells you what I think is going to happen. I just don't like that defense right now.
Three of his TD's yesterday were to guys who were not open in the way we think of being open. But they were so perfectly thrown the defenders that were right there had no chance. It was unbelievable!
