New Orleans Saints Offense (2004) - Mike McCarthy

The 2004 New Orleans Saints football team was a professional American football team that represented the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, as a member of the National Football Conference (NFC) South division of the National Football League (NFL). The Saints were led by head coach Jim Haslett and played their home games at the Louisiana Superdome.

Mike McCarthy was the offensive coordinator of the 2004 New Orleans Saints. It was his fifth season in that role, and he helped the Saints to a 10-6 record and a playoff berth. The Saints' offense was ranked seventh in the NFL in total points scored in 2004.

McCarthy was known for his West Coast offense, which is a pass-heavy offense that relies on short and intermediate passes. The Saints' offense was led by quarterback Aaron Brooks, who threw for 3,655 yards and 23 touchdowns in 2004. The Saints also had a number of talented receivers, including Joe Horn, Marques Colston, and Terrance Copper.

The Saints finished the season with a record of 8 wins and 8 losses, finishing in second place in the NFC South division. The Saints' offense was led by quarterback Aaron Brooks, who threw for 3,484 yards and 23 touchdowns. The Saints' leading rusher was Deuce McAllister, who rushed for 1,009 yards and six touchdowns. The Saints' leading receiver was Marques Colston, who caught 59 passes for 746 yards and four touchdowns.

The Saints' defense was led by defensive end Charles Grant, who recorded 11.5 sacks. The Saints also had a number of other talented players on defense, including linebacker Jamie Sharper, cornerback Mike McKenzie, and safety Darren Sharper.

The Saints had a few highlights in 2004, but they were unable to overcome their inconsistencies. They defeated the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots 28-20 in Week 2, and they also defeated the NFC Central division champion Green Bay Packers 52-35 in Week 12. However, the Saints also lost to teams like the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Saints' 2004 season was a disappointing one, as they were unable to improve on their 8-8 record from the previous season. The Saints also missed the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season.
