Hear me out. Go back to the Marshown Lynch “Beastmode”
run. Look at Vernon Davis Beating Scott Stanley in the Niner Playoff game. Look at the Minnesota Miracle and even look at the Rams No-call game where the D let up a lead.

This year’s D was the strength of the team no doubt, but the performances against the Giants and the first Atlanta game were examples of the D blowing late game leads AGAIN. It’s the same sad story in my opinion.

That is Da's MO. Every year he drops a couple of stinkers. The Saints have invested heavily on defense recently and there is a lot of talent on defense. However, ANY good coach, worth his salt, can do as well I would imagine. Dennis Aleen is the weak link. I used to be a fan but time has made me decide to hop off the Dennis Allen float and I'm hoping he gets an offer elsewhere. We've got top talent we can move up to waiting in the wings. In my humble opinion Kris Richards in an excellent replacement with the necessary skills that Payton covets.
