I believe we are in a win win situation

Team Goals:
#1. Make The Playoffs
#2. Win The Division
#3. Win The NFC Championship
#4. Win The Super Bowl

If you don't reach goals 1 or 2 it's impossible to reach goals 3 or 4.

The Saints haven't reached the playoffs since the 2020 season. There are players on the team that haven't been in a playoff game in 3 years. There are young players on the team in their 3rd year or less that haven't played in a playoff game yet. I'm sure they all want that opportunity. That's the point.

Win or lose in the playoffs is part of the experience. A close loss or a blowout loss equals the same thing, elimination from the playoffs, nothing more and nothing less. Only 1 team out of 32 hoists the big trophy at the end of the day. Getting into the tournament is goal #1.

You cant win the lottery without buying a ticket either. This overly simplistic view just doesnt take, anything really, into consideration.

Weak schedule, Weak division does not make a contender. It prolongs mediocrity more than anything else. It sets you back another year. Its a mirage. You want to give your players a chance? Give them a decent Head Coach. This team should be 8-4 at worst. Give any decent HC this roster, this schedule and this division and we might have already locked up the division. The guy under the headset is the problem.

If we win the division and get blasted in the wild card round by Philly or Dallas, and Allen gets fired, lets do that. But Loomis is so hell bent on not admitting his mistakes that a playoff game is going to get Allen another year regardless of the outcome.
