A quick historical analysis from a Payton/Brees era Who Dat realizing how good we had it and how bad things might just be. I know Dennis Allen had some poor rosters with the Raiders which contributed to his 20-44 career record, but I wanted to see what his record was with us and see where it compared to our franchise history. Here’s what I found:

Dennis Allen (2022-202?) 12-16 (0.429)

Jim Haslett (2000-2005) 45-51 (0.469)

It’s wild to me that strictly in terms of winning percent we’re currently in a worse position now than before Payton/Brees. Consulting ESPN’s FPI DA’s Saints are expected to finish the regular season at 9-8 which would be DA’s first winning season and bringing his Saints record to 16-18 (0.471) closely mirroring Haslett’s win percent.

I have seen some of the salary cap gurus say that the Saints can’t realistically move on from Carr till after next season so with that and a Haslett-ish record I highly suspect the Saints brass will allow one more season of this nonsense. Just wanted to put some numbers behind what everyone was already speculating
