Come on, Rugs. You're sounding as defeatist as some of these other doom and gloomers.
Actually, no I am not into gloom and doom. I am a realist who sees no future with Dennis Allen running the team. He has no spark. He has no fire. Sean Payton had both, as well as a winning record. Sean Payton is a General and Dennis Allen is a lieutenant. I have no faith in Dennis Allen and it looks like most fans do not.

I hope when and if the season turns sour that you began to think that you may have been an apologist for him. If he wins great and congratulations. If not, it looks like the fans may be right after all. Last year the fans were not happy with the crappy play calling. Yes, I understand we had a backup quarterback and backups across the offensive line, but still a good coach would have been able to get more out of his team. He just doesn't motivate a team efficiently. Now, Sean Payton knew how to motivate a team to win.

I never claimed he was a Sean Payton, Rugs. Nor have I claimed he was even a good head coach. But I also don't believe he is a total clueless idiot that cannot discern between sh!t and Shinola like some over the top fans believe. I pretty positive he knows more about running an NFL team than they could learn in a lifetime.

Right, you never claimed he was a good coach or that he was Sean Payton. The majority of Saints fans and National media are pushing the opinion that he is a total clueless idiot. I just happen to be one of them. Disappoint me once shame on you. Disappoint me twice shame on me.

I don't believe for a minute that the "majority of Saints fans" think that Dennis Allen is a clueless idiot. Perhaps a very vocal small minority. And for an absolute fact the national media hasn't given that impression at all. The vast majority of Saints fans don't care at all who's coaching or what their history may happen to be. They only hope when the season begins that the Saints will win their games. They'll be there in the stands or in front of their screens watching and having fun. The vast majority of fans leave the constant criticism to that very vocal small minority.

The problem is that Dennis Allen does not Inspire confidence with his record, his leadership skills, or his play calling ability on offense, I don't follow football outside of the New Orleans Saints, but when the media talks about the Saints I have never heard Dennis Allen receive a compliment other than being a good defensive coordinator. Mostly, people are talking about his record and how he was handed A well-stocked thing that failed.

Allen's record in Oakland is meaningless. That roster was bad from top to bottom. As for his play calling on offense, he has no more input on offensive play calling than Payton had on defensive play calling. That was all on Carmichael and his staff as far as play design and calling. But, to be fair, Carmichael was limited to what Dalton could do behind a makeshift offensive line while missing three of his top receivers (Thomas, Landry, and Harty) for most of the season.

You say the team was well stocked when Allen took over. Well, I guess they had a huge fire in the stock room before opening shop because it looked more like Big Lots than Macy's out there with all of the inferior products on the shelves.
