Their offense is pass oriented and statistically just as potent as Denver's. The Bronco's passed for 5444 yards to the Saints 4918 during the regular season, which is roughly 33 yards more per game. The big difference here however can be pointed to schedule. Here are the best teams the Saints have faced:
Seahawks 1 ranked
49ers 5
Carolina 2
Carolina 2 again
Arizona 6
Denver
Houston (Dropped to 7th after the loss of cushing and were playing for nothing)
NY Giants 8
Baltimore 12
Tennessee 14
If the Saints had played the cupcakes Payton Manning and the Broncos have played, their stats would be very similar. Oh by the way, The Saints were ranked 4th in total defense, the Broncos 19th. Admittedly many yards against the Broncos were garbage yards because they had such big leads pounding juggernauts like The Eagles, Jaguars, Raiders 2x, Chiefs 2x, Chargers 2x Cowboys, and Patriots (all defenses that statistically suck). Denver is a mirror image of the saints.
Graham = Thomas
Colston = Other Thomas
Moore = Decker
Thomas or Sproles = Welker (in the slot)
How did that work out for the Saints?
But has Denver played anybody comparable to the Seahawks??
No and it isn't even close.
The two teams played in the preseason and they should have kept the ambulance on the Denver sideline for all the Broncos that were being carted off. This team is soft and not battle tested, we are. I would love for a Bronco fan to tell me how they are prepared for the Legion of Boom, Lynch and Harvin.
