You say it's not entertaining or fun to watch, yet every year new viewership records are being set. People are tuning into the various platforms to watch games in greater numbers than ever before. That's why the ever growing pool of broadcast providers funds those "overpaid folks". It's because the fans continue to tune in and watch their ads. |

I’m guess Head injuries/concussions are a different ball of wax in that players probably feel like they can come back before protocols allow them. But other injuries it’s likely on an individual player/team basis on when/if they return based on multiple factors. And the causes are likewise based on multiple factors. But let’s face it, it’s a violent game centered on physical contact. They can make it more like flag football all they want….but you can still blow out a knee or twist an ankle doing that. These guys are getting paid to take that risk. |

I maintain a less-contact based preseason has made guys softer.

Re: Saints fans launch petition asking team to fire Dennis Allen
Perhaps. But I believe it has more to do with the players becoming bigger, stronger, and faster every year. Football has always been a violent game, but it is becoming more and more violent every year just based upon the players themselves. Just look at games from 40 years ago. They were not flying around at every position they way they are now. It's a different game.

Re: Saints fans launch petition asking team to fire Dennis Allen
Where do I sign? The guy have a diamond in the rough in Rasheed and don’t know how to involve him. Dalton is horrible but able to retain the starting job. If the shoe was on the other foot he would have been yanked after that 1st interception in the red zone before the 2 pick 6. You need an alpha man to lead this team; DENNIS ALLEN is not the one. Have a Lamborghini with Ray Charles in the driver seat
After all the injuries and the handling of Winston. I would be surprised if any free agents will even consider coming to New Orleans with DA as head coach |

Re: Saints fans launch petition asking team to fire Dennis Allen
Do anyone believe Lattimore or Jordan would be out due to injury if Payton was the HC? Not saying they are not injured, just Payton would had the team at a mentality to fight to be on the field. Payton didn’t care what place you were drafted, if you could contribute to make the team better you will get your share of snaps. I believe everyone on the team don’t have any faith in DA.
