Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes & welcome to the Saints week10/game 10 thread.

Much like in 1996, an embarrassing loss in Carolina was too much for Jim Mora (sending him off on the infamous 'diddly poo' rant) and sent him into retirement, an embarrassing loss in Carolina was too much for Gayle Benson and she sent Dennis Allen packing to wherever he goes next.

And then we sent Marshon Lattimore packing to be with all the dingy politicians in Washington, D.C.

So... let's just see if we can do something for the rest of this season to get some kind of enthusiasm back.

FLOCK THE FALCONS... ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!
