.Due to the fact that they chose Dennis Allen in 2022, the Saints are actually the only crew in the NFL along with a favorable point differential (+80) yet a losing record (18-22).Of the 13 groups along with a beneficial point differential, 12 produced the playoffs at least once. 8 got there twice. Saints are actually the outlier.-- John Sigler (@john_siglerr) October 14, 2024.The New Orleans Saints' beginning to the 2024 season appeared especially great, as they scored 91 factors and also had a +62 factor different via pair of full weeks, which is actually exceptional. The distinction in aspects recorded and also aspects permitted is just one of the NFL's essential statistics and indicators of excellence.Now after Week 6 has actually wrapped up, they rest at 2-4 with 167 overall aspects (19 PPG during the course of that period of 4 full weeks) and are actually to a +20 factor differential. This has relatively held true with Dennis Allen and also his staffs over the course of his two prior periods with the Saints.Since Allen was employed in 2022, they are actually the only team along with a beneficial point differential however additionally a losing document. During that span they have a +80 point differential and also an 18-22 record. Additionally, of the 13 crews along with a beneficial aspect differential during the course of that stretch, 12 produced the playoffs at least when, and also eight produced it twice, with the Saints being the only group to miss out.This shows that the Saints win large when they win and drop little when they shed, yet it also suggests they lose the sizable majority of their activities in near matchups, which indicates a failure to close out games in the old phases. That has actually definitely been among the greatest objections of this Saints team since Sean Payton left behind, and also even more essentially, Drew Brees.
