Too many injuries..

That’s fair - but where was this “Dennis Allen Football” in weeks 1 and 2?

Could it be that Dennis Allen, like most coaches, is able to do a hell of a lot more when key offensive and defensive personnel aren’t on the bench or in the tent or street clothes?

It’s not coping when you have actually seen the difference between a healthy 2024 Saints and one scraping a roster together from the practice squad and waiver wire.

We're still in position to win these games easily despite injuries. We had leads late in games and awful defensive playcalls in late game situations gave the game to both the Eagles and the Falcons. He can't close out games. Look at his record in 1 score games since becoming our head coach. This is just who he is.

He botched the 3rd and 16 vs Philly, and he botched the 2nd and 10 vs Atlanta. There's no justifiable reason to be in tight man coverage in either of those situations. I thought the 3rd and 16 last week was awful, but somehow he tops it this week. You simply can't call a defense that puts any DBs back to the QB when there are 30 seconds left, no timeouts, and they need 30 yards for a FG range. You simply play off, make a tackle in bounds, and the game is over barring a 30+ yard completion.

He's not a rookie head coach anymore. He made these mistakes as a defensive coordinator costing us playoff games, and he he continues to do so as our head coach. These are elementary level mistakes.
