Honestly, not a lot of groundbreaking nuggets in his article. I’d quote them here if so.

But we know Nick’s takes are informed and he mentioned the Saints are willing to make top-down changes and patience hasn’t been earned with this group.

I’ve begun hoping we miss the playoffs.


Team should be 8-2 with good coaching.

Changes needs to be made. No cap room and aging roster with a losing coach.

Making the playoffs at this point will just continue to set us back.

Im to the point i think making the playoffs is bad for the long term success of this franchise. So while im rooting for them to win every game, im not as upset by the losses. Our defense is aging rapidly and the offense needs a new OC and qb. And i dont trust Allen at all. So this all needs to end. Winning this division at 9-8 should still be a firable offense.

I also think blowing this thing up is beneficial for Underhill too. He is really good at what he does, but its during a huge dip in fan interest.

I’m there as well. Losing out, firing Allen, and getting our rookie QB would make me happy and have some optimism of the future

Our defense should be in its prime right now. But when you keep making bad decisions and keep pushing the tab years into the future, you lose young players that you drafted and developed like Hendrickson, Marcus Williams, Ellis, Bell, etc and replace them with aging over the hill players.

frick the playoffs we need a top 5 pick. I don’t want to frick around like we did letting Mahomes get picked ahead of us. No matter what Jayden Daniels has to be a Saint. I don’t give a shite how much Carr is making he can still get his check on the bench.

This group didn’t deserve the job from fricking day one

Loomis should be the one on the chopping block. The incompetent pussy coaching now was his decision. Going after Carr was his decision.

He took the easy way out when there were plenty of decent candidates out there.

No shot of this happening.

Our schedule is too easy and the division is too shitty.

Not to mention Allen knows he's fighting for his job.

This team will win 9 games and somehow sneak into the playoffs.

The real question now is, does ownership have the balls to get rid of this entire staff regardless of what happens the rest of the season.

Wtf. I was told Underhill did nothing more than carry water for DA.

In all seriousness, barely sneaking into the playoffs shouldn’t give this staff another year.

Yeah I've reached that point myself now.

Win... Okay cool

Lose... Might be the solution to a long term problem.

I'm just worried if the Saints front office will actually do something.
