Can we make a run? (merged)

This is still a team with some big holes and Rizzi needs way more time than two weeks to truly turn it around. The defensive coaching staff needs some serious work. The depth on offense and defense needs some serious work. This team sorely lacks a true starting TE and a #1 WR. This team sorely lacks an elite Edge and Interior defensive line presence. Just watching the Lions highlights shows this team is not even close to a team like that. Not even close.

I love Rizzi and I think so far he's got the inside track to being the Head Coach. But this team in its current state? I'm glad they didn't trade for Adams. I'm glad they instead got MVS on a vet minimum deal. I'm glad they traded Lattimore for more picks. I think a half decent draft next year and they'll be a legitimate playoff contender and runaway with the NFC South.

But this season, this late? As @Taker597 alluded to, more than likely the Saints were one or two games too late to firing Allen to have realistically saved the season.
