30.) New Orleans Saints (0-2)

A Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on the road was understandable but a loss at home to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 is not. Drew Brees and the Saints offense did not look good in the loss, as Brees totaled 255 passing yards with one passing touchdown and one interception.

Brees’ status for Week 3 is up in the air with a shoulder injury and if he’s out the Saints are in big trouble. Luke McCown may get his chance to play like he wants to in cell phone commercials, but that won’t help the Saints win games.

29.) Houston Texans (0-2)

The Houston Texans have not gotten off to the start that they wanted to in 2015, as they lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. After replacing Brian Hoyer in Week 1, Ryan Mallett played a full game without being benched but was unable to come away with a win.

Houston’s offense is really missing Arian Foster, as Mallett shouldn’t be asked to throw the ball 50+ times a game. If the Texans are going to have success in 2015, they need to get back to establishing a strong running game to go with their defense.

28.) Philadelphia Eagles (0-2)

Chip Kelly made a lot of changes this offseason to the roster of the Eagles and so far it isn’t looking good in 2015. The Eagles’ high-powered offense was shockingly held to just 10 points against the Dallas Cowboys.

Losing to the Cowboys after Tony Romo went down with an injury is an awful sign of things to come for the Eagles. In the loss to the Cowboys, DeMarco Murray totaled just two yards rushing on 13 carries, as he was a non-factor against his former team. It’s only been two weeks, but the Eagles aren’t looking good on offense this season and that could lead to an ugly season.
