Week Eighteen: Falcons @ Saints

But that was a must win game too.

Face it: the 2023 Saints were too inconsistent to deserve a playoff berth this season. If they could accomplish simple things like holding on to a 17 point 4th quarter lead in Green Bay, or beating the Failclowns when they had the chance, no one would be wishing and hoping that things fall into place in order to back into a 7th playoff seed.

I will watch this weekend with no expectations. It'll be a gift if it falls together, but I would expect that this will be the last game for the 2023 squad. They missed their chances to do better earlier in the season.

Still given all that, I still am going to hope that the squad can pull it together one last time and put it on the Failclowns. Then at least I won't have to hear an entire offseason of how we were swept and the ubiquitous "You are wearing the wrong gear." though I get the latter win, lose, or draw here in the ATL.

Payton Turner finally returns this Sunday from the severe dislocation of two toes.

Kamara is going to be a game time decision.

The win will put us at 4-2 in the division. That's at least a move in the right direction.

Sounds like if it is at all possible Kamara will be in there.

AsylumGuido · 01-05-2024, 02:21 PM

Several other players have dealt with this recently, but they've all been able to play.

This sounds promising for Kamara's presence.

There’s that pat on the back for needledick Allen, that will bring more of the same pleasure to you for a few more years. Yayyyy!

Well, the good news is that if Dennis Allen is here for a few more years then he figured things out and we're winning.

The bad news is that the New Orleans Saints have never in their history fired a coach after two seasons. DA will be back to start the season. However, PC won't be back and we will have a new OC. If we're lucky, the new OC is an Alpha who takes control of the offense and the team rallies around him.

If Dennis Allen is here a few more years, it could also mean he has naked pictures of Mickey Loomis and Dennis Louseka.

It seems likely that an offensive coordinator with leadership skills could succeed behind a head coach without any. Such an offensive coordinator might assert authority and bench Carr if he struggles, Ram if he is playing too hurt, or Renfrow if he is washed but Loomis trades for him to 'win now' and 'get more Raiders', but then that offensive coordinator would likely be overruled by Loomis and Allen for contradicting their master moves and making them look bad, and would lose all authority and no longer be able to leader. The only way an assistant coach could solve our problems would be if they were such a strong leader that they could effectively convince Allen and Loomis to defer to them, in which case we would have a new head coach and GM, which is what we actually need.
