An issue that has plagued them this season and looms for years down the road is on special teams, though. Kicker Blake Grupe showed improvement last season, but he has struggled massively this season. His inconsistency is gleaming, and his latest mistake in Week 12 may push New Orleans to make a move.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1723273535268-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CKX4or_fiZEDFWLlEQgdlCYdkQ\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22751588535,23055578086\/CafeX\/Feji.io_Banner_Responsive_1_0__container__\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22751588535,23055578086\/CafeX\/Feji.io_Banner_Responsive_1_0\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" name=\"google_ads_iframe_\/22751588535,23055578086\/CafeX\/Feji.io_Banner_Responsive_1_0\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-container-id=\"8\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy-img\" src=\"http:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/ybmedia\/image\/upload\/c_crop,e_improve,h_675,w_1200,x_0,y_36\/c_fill,f_auto,h_900,q_auto,w_1600\/v1\/m\/9\/5\/95a32d2a6b6dfc8025268e4a9bb948d5e9a11af2\/nfl-atlanta-falcons-at-new-orleans-saints.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Kicker Blake Grupe continues to struggle against Falcons<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>In the first quarter, following a huge return on a kickoff, Grupe missed a 38-yard field goal. That mistake heavily swung the momentum back in Atlanta&#8217;s favor. It seemed like New Orleans had a bit of a jump before the miss, but that quickly disappeared after another frustrating failure to convert for Grupe. After a solid drive just ahead of halftime, Grupe then missed another attempt. In a game that should\/could have been tied at 13, the Saints trailed 13-7.<\/p>\n<div class=\"in-article-ad\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-mid-article\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container
