Well, that wasn't fun to watch. The New Orleans Saints got boat raced on primetime television, getting the doors blown off of them by the Denver Broncos, who aren't even a good football team.
Fans had every right to be melting down on social media, pointing fingers at Dennis Allen for the disgusting primetime defeat. Allen has continued to underperform since taking over as the Saints head coach in 2022 and fans are past the point of being fed up. They're ready for Allen's time as the Saints head coach to come to an end.
The Thursday night debacle was not a good look for Allen. At one point during the halftime show, Richard Sherman said that it looked as though his team was playing as though they wanted their head coach to get fired. The fans were also not shy about expressing their thoughts about Allen in the stadium and online.
Let's check out what the fans were saying about Allen and the Saints on social media.
Saints fans are ready for Dennis Allen to go
Also I don’t want to hear that Dennis Allen hasn’t lost the team. Look at the performance out there. These guys look ready for the offseason in Week 7.

"These guys look ready for the offseason in Week 7" is a sad but accurate statement. The Saints didn't look like they wanted any part in that game on Thursday night and you know where that comes from? Coaching!
So DA got to:
— kasie⸆⸉ 🤍 (@thisiskctrying) October 18, 2024
- pick his QB
- pick his coaching staff
- went 18-22 (soon to be 23) in 3 seasons
- apologized to the falcons for running up the score
- losing locker room/fans
If he isn’t fired soon then I can no longer be a fan.
Allen's first year not going great was understandable considering that Sean Payton stepped away later in the process putting the Saints behind the other teams searching for head coaches. Since then, however, he's had a chance to pick his quarterback and coaching staff and the results still aren't there. What more are we waiting for here?

The bags are back, folks! I repeat -- The bags are back.

Yeah, it sure feels like this is going to be the case in all honesty. The Saints went from blowing out teams in the first two weeks of the season to now all of us wondering if they'll win another game in 2024.
Sean Payton’s last gift to the city of New Orleans should be beating the Saints so bad they fire Dennis Allen tomorrow

Hey, considering Payton quit on the Saints, this is the least he could do for them, right?
Saints taking a timeout before taking a knee was very Dennis Allen

Yes it was, Gregg. Yes, it was.
Spencer Rattler has played one half with Dennis Allen and already knows the guy doesn’t have a brain

Spencer Rattler is going to become a fan favorite after this viral moment.
If this team gets blown out by Bo Nix and the Broncos, don’t even have a postgame press conference. Just release a statement that Dennis Allen has been fired.

We started with one of Chris Rosvoglou's tweets so let's finish with another one of his tweets. The Saints did indeed get blown out by the Broncos so can the rest of this end up being true as well? Please?
