Haven’t seen a team in years go down the toilet as fast as the Saints did this season. They started the season looking like a juggernaut destroying the Panthers and Cowboys and have lost 7 straight since the blowout over us.

Allen hasn't been good, but the failings here are more on the Saints than on him. They went all-in on the end of Drew Brees' prime (a smart move IMO), but then after Brees retired, they kept trying to duct-tape their roster together rather than tear it down and rebuild. The 2024 Cowboys are basically what the Saints have been for the last 3 or 4 years... limping along to .500 finishes with bad contracts maxing out their cap.

Derek Carr is the epitome of this decision making. Just the kind of spit-and-duct-tape quarterback who's functional enough to keep the Saints from collapsing, but he's too mediocre and too expensive to take them anywhere. And now that he's hurt, it's all unraveling.

As far as Allen, he's your classic Peter Principle coach who's been promoted one step above his head. A proven DC who's a crappy game manager at HC. After two failed HC stints (the other one with the dumpster-fire Raiders, which wasn't really his fault either), he's just settle in coordinator and staffer work for the next decade. Hell, he is just the kind of retread DC that Jerry likes to bring in.

On the next episode of The Old and The Rested...

Stephen: Did you hear? Gayle Benson canned Dennis Allen.
Jerry: Yeah? So?
Stephen: Don't you think the media and fans will wonder why we haven't done the same with Mike?
Jerry: Do you think they will?
Stephen: DADDY!!!
Jerry: Just messing with you. Give it a couple of days. The noise will die down and fade away.
Stephen: You mean, like how things died after you threatened the boys over at The Fan?
Jerry: ~glares at son~
Stephen: ~glares at father~

Jerry reaches for desk drawer containing his last will and testament...

I told everybody when they kicked our butts.
This was a bad football team, and I got routed. Everybody said they were playoff bound.

Getting beat by the Panthers was the kiss of death... Getting beat by the Cowboys is probably the same and I'm thinking the NYG coach might oughta be worried because his team is the only one left on the schedule we can beat.
They’d be stupid to fire DaBoll

They saddled him with Daniel Jones who should’ve been let go and they aren’t building a roster good enough….
