I know that Loomis will not fire either one of them because this is a family-run business and we don't have that corporate mentality. However, it is time for a change in leadership and getting a fresh face in here would do wonders.
Case in point Rugby…McCarthy was 2-7 going into the bye week is first Season in Dallas. He went on to a 6-10 record. This was after two losing seasons in GB. Dallas didn’t fire him quickly.

Exactly what I was about to post, Boston. This isn't on Allen or Carmichael nor would any respectable franchise see it that way. Could there have been a bit more aggressive playcalling? Perhaps. But fielding a team littered with backups in place of key starters is not conducive to winning close games. Just as with Payton's great job last season facing much of the same, let's see what happens once we finally start getting some frontline players back. Every game has been close enough to have been a victory with a better bounce, or call, here or there.

Yup. And where is McCarthy now? Sitting with one of the better records in the entire league.

Re: Observation from the Saints loss to Bengals

Meanwhile what happened to this DEFENSE?! The tackling was atrocious. Didn't hear Tanoh, Davenport, or Cam's name called once. Why was Payton Turner a healthy scratch?

Giving up over 30+ points over the last two weeks ...

Redbirds, Raiders, Ravens & Steelers won't feel sorry for us.

Don't look now but the Panthers have traded Robby Anderson to the Cardinals & they also get Hopkins back (6 gm suspension) for our game on Thursday Night .

No Lattimore on Thursday ... and we saw what Chase did to Roby/Adebo.

Cardinals offense was abysmal versus the Seahawks yesterday.

So was the Saints defense.

Giving up more than 30+ points in 2 games. Currently ranked 28th in points allowed.

Don't you have lower level seats?? ? This defense is underperforming big time.

When? I hope not another concussion. He's already had 2 this year.
I noticed him pointing to his chest and wincing like he ate too many burritos.

Then I saw a lot of Lewis Kidd playing his position.

One can only hope they do better. I can say that missing Lattimore really hurt against Chase. He looked to be just outmuscling the defense.

Saints

B

With several of their biggest receiving weapons out due to injury -- including Jarvis Landry , Chris Olave and Michael Thomas -- the Saints turned to their ground game and their rushing attack almost did enough to pull off the upset here. The Saints averaged an absurd 6.7 yards per carry in this game (34 carries for 228 yards) and a big part of that was because they had three different players who had at least one carry of 30 yards more. The problem for the Saints offense, though, is that it couldn't score in the red zone. On five trips inside of Cincinnati's 20-yard line, the Saints only came away with one TD. The other problem with the Saints is that their defense can't stop anyone. The unit was supposed to be a strength coming into the season, but it has now given up 28 or more points in three straight games.
