It’s do or die time for the Saints as for the second straight season the Black and Gold are heading into the fourth game of the season without having won a game.
The New Orleans Saints (5-8) have only two games remaining following Monday night’s matchup with Detroit (4-9) with games against Jacksonville and at Atlanta left, what will the final chapter be written about with it comes to closing the book on the 2015 season
While the 2015 season may be over for the Saints and any playoff aspirations, knocking off the unbeaten Carolina Panthers would be just fine with members of the Who Dat Nation.
I can’t think of a week in which there is so much of it at such contrasting styles. The Saints enter week 5 coming off of a prime time win in a manner that QB Drew Brees said was a character building one for the team. Philadelphia on the other hand is 1-3 following a division loss and fans want their head coach’s head on a platter, and national media are penning columns about how their needs to be a change at quarterback.
The game is a big one for the Saints if there are to still entertain post-season hopes. Only 2 percent of all NFL teams since 1990 have started 0-3 have made the playoffs.

The New Orleans Saints look to do something they haven’t done this season. Win on the road. They’ll have to do it against (3-4) Carolina in a game would give the winner sole possession of first place in the NFC South.
The New Orleans Saints have been a good team coming off of bye weeks. 5-0 the last few times to be exact and the Saints will need that magic to continue as they begin a tough stretch of games.
It took a bit longer than expected but the New Orleans Saints picked up their first win of the season last week in the comforts of the Superdome.
