Clean house now

I was kinda optimistic early on when it was 21-0, I had seen nothing that made me feel confident AT ALL -- I felt like if this turned into a massive blowout, then there was a chance, however small but still a chance, that maybe they might fire Allen before the end of the season.

But then they got back in it, to their credit they played well in spots, but the 21-0 hole was juuuuuuust one score too many, to make up.

The big problem was that the game was juuuuuuust close enough, that I bet Dennis Allen gets another year now, because of the low bar they have for him. It's kinda infuriating. If it'd been a huge blowout, they'd have to take the prospect of firing him seriously. Now they don't.

You summed up my thoughts very nicely. I couldn't have said it any better. Maybe we lose more games than we win the rest of the year and Allen loses his job along with PC. But we might actually win enough to......well, you know! That would mean we have to keep Allen around until midseason 2025.
