Saints are 1st place in the NFC South thru 9 weeks after Saints Won + Falcons/Bucs losses

I don't think many are screaming to fire DA at this point, but I do think you would have to have blinders on to not notice some fairly obvious coaching gaffes that would cost us games against playoff level opponents.....context is important, they eeked out what should have been a multiple score win over a clearly inferior opponent with an inexperienced backup QB. I mean, I'm always happy with a Saints win but they have to play much better against a decent opponent....and maybe they will, we'll see....

My stance hasn't changed in regards to DA, if they make the playoffs he deserves another year.....

Concerns and criticism are normal of course. A lot of the takes about the penalty just looks like pent up, unleashed gripes about DA while they already want to see him gone. It’s a pattern from the anti DA crowd.

For the most part there’s silence on the board and no credit given to DA when the team has a relatively perfect win like the recent Patriots and Colts games. A lot of props are given to the star players and veteran team captains like the blowout and comeback wins are in spite of the HC. Then when there’s a questionable call people can’t wait to unload on DA. He’s not the only HC of a team with a winning record to make a mistake or two this season.

Everybody has different opinions after a game. But focusing a lot on 50/50 calls to the tone of fire DA isn’t usual and warranted after a team wins and moves to 1st place as more good matchups on the schedule are on the way.
