After two weeks, the New Orleans Saints find themselves with a 1-1 record which, like last year, represents the best start the team has had over the first two weeks since 2013. That’s about where the good news ends. The Saints are without future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees for the foreseeable future, and the team is coming off an embarrassing loss in Los Angeles. Things certainly won't get any easier with a trip to the Pacific Northwest, where the Sean Payton’s Saints are 0-3 against Pete Carroll’s Seattle Seahawks.
A week after being endlessly berated with penalty flags, the Saints need only follow the path those flags have laid, as the “Yellow Flag Road” takes them up the West Coast to the Emerald City, where the Saints’ wishes have died ugly and wicked deaths in their last three visits there.
