"Nothing but flop games" is a statement for the 2008 Lions and the 2017 Browns. Last season the Saints swept the Falcons and retook the series lead. Not a flop. They shut out the Raiders on Halloween weekend. Not a flop. They fought back from 4-9 to position themselves to be playoff eligible in week 18. Not flops. They were competitive in several losses and really only got their doors blown off twice: Baltimore and San Francisco.
Again, when Dennis Allen's defense is the reason the Saints begin losing games, I will hit the button on him. For now, he needs to realize the Pete Carmichael Jr. experiment is over just like Sean Payton needed to realize the Gary Gibbs/Gregg Williams/Rob Ryan/Joe Vitt eras were over. I didn't want Payton out the door early either. Sticking with him paid off.
