- Lose in devastating fashion to the Rams. All the cockiness that's been built up from beating the literal two worst teams in the NFL as well as Allen's snarky comments about our $150mm QB's improved play will completely blow up in our faces Thursday.

- As a result, our playoff chances drop to below 20% and our team is at an all-season low as the reality sets in that we won't make the playoffs with potentially the easiest schedule in modern NFL history and giving Allen the QB he wanted and a moderately healthy offense. Wow

- The team all but gives up and the Bucs beat us the following week. Season officially over.

- Dennis Allen is fired after the season. Carmichael is relieved of his play-calling duties (he can stay on as an analyst if he wants)

- Saints hire a new coach with a modern offensive mind that is intellectually capable of running an offense that utilizes pre-snap movement and basic play action (I know this is the bare minimum, but Carmichael is last in the the NFL in both these categories)

- Saints are poised for a pick in the 8-10 range in the draft.

- Draft a young QB that's capable of actually selling some tickets and *potentially* injecting some excitement into the building

Sounds like a plan? Let's do it!

They’ll lose to the Rams, beat the Bucs and Falcons to screw up the draft, miss the playoffs on a tiebreaker, and everyone will be back and we’ll go through this same shite next season.

That's this organization's plan? You have inside sauces for this?

Why would a new staff want anything to do with Carmichael? Let him go running back to Sean.

Only way they end up in that 8-10 range would be to lose out. If they lose the next 2 games, I think you can just about guarantee they'll beat Atl and end up picking in the teens. Just the way things always seem to go.
