Even the most ardent and overly optimistic Saints fan has to see that this is just a bad, bad football team. Yes, injuries are a big part of the game but guess what? All teams deal with injuries. The Chiefs were shorthanded against the Saints last Monday, made adjustments and embarrassed the Saints on national TV. There are no adjustments with the Saints. It’s just the same thing, year after year.
Dennis Allen might as well just wear a shirt that says, “We’ve got to get better” because that is his same speech since he has been a head coach. He is NOT a head coach. He may be a nice guy but he is not head coach material. No one wants to run through a brick wall for him. He is milk toast and holds no one accountable for anything. He has had losing records with the Raiders and now with the Saints.
And Mickey Loomis is to blame as well. He has made bad decision after bad decision yet he lives in some sort of golden room so as to not have any blame. I am beginning to see that Sean Payton was the one that pulled the strings when he was here and not Loomis. Yes, Loomis can be one hell of an accountant but an eye for talent? Eh.
I’ve seen some posts stating that the Saints will “get right” against the Broncos, don’t panic, “if we just” did this or that, long way to go, etc, etc. The Saints are the team other teams get right with. The panic button is firmly pushed after a 51 point, 500+ yard let down at home. And if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, well, you know the rest.
This is a bad football team with maybe four wins left in them. I don’t see an easy game nor a get right game left on their schedule. Dennis Allen HAS to go at the end of the year and this team needs a complete coaching and culture redo.
