Saints fired Dennis Allen

Shocked that it didn’t take longer! We are 2-7! Anybody think that we can play that much better to perhaps win 8 games straight! Rizzi will at least get some emotion from this team! We have improved over the last 2 weeks! I’m just not giving up on the season because I have seen some things but yet to see this! First time for everything! I can see this team giving us some enjoyment the rest of the way! They will play with nothing to lose! On to a brighter future!

The issue is that we’d almost have to go 8-0 just to be in the ballpark of the playoffs.

The only way we could win the division would be to finish with a better record than ATL - they are currently 6-3. We are four games behind in win column and four ahead in the loss column and we’d have to finish with a better record than them.

So we’d have to go at worst 7-1 and hope they go 2-6.

No way that’s happening in the really real world.

So it benefits us to keep losing and improve draft position while trading away anyone of any value.

Winning 5 or 6 of our last 8 would only prolong this purgatory
