It feels like forever since the Saints have been relevant

The first 3 games will tell us how to temper expectations. I just want to see effort, reasonable execution and week to week improvement. Show me a team identity with a new coordinator.

If there are major things, Carr not playing well, lack of effort, poor offensive line play….the playoffs are not realistic and Allen will be a a red hot seat.
I'd say 6 games, not 3. That stretch has 4 of last year's playoff teams including the SB champion and 3 division games.

If the Saints are 4-2 with 3 division wins, then things are likely point up. But if it's a disaster at 1-5 and looking bad in the process...
