Punchless Saints Embarrassed by Bad Broncos Team, Front Office Inexplicably Silent on DA's Future

On Black & Gold B.S., lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  After being embarrassed at home by the traitorous Sean Payton and his very mid Broncos team, the 2024 Saints are all but cooked, and the gang wonders just what kind of unforgivable atrocities Dennis Allen will have to commit before the brain-dead Brain Trust actually fires him.

Saints Humiliated by Bucs in Historic Loss, Practically Ending Season (and Derek Carr's Saints Tenure, Thanks to Spencer Rattler))

On Black & Gold B.S., lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  This week, after falling to the division rival Bucs in an historic 51-27 loss, the gang says the same thing they’ve been saying for three damn years: it’s time to fire “head coach” Dennis Allen.  At least Spencer Rattler looked competent.

On Black & Gold B.S., lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  This week, the gang finally accepts the fact that the Saints might actually be really, really good this year, after the team’s complete and utter annihilation of the Cowboys in Dallas.  Shaheed caught another 70-yard bomb, Carr looked razor-sharp again, and oh yeah, Alvin Kamara outscored the entire Cowboys team all by himself.

Saints Sink Bucs in Tampa and Look Amazing, But is Dennis Allen Safe?

On Black & Gold B.S., brought to you by Zuppardo’s Family Market and AGI Specialty Valves, lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team.  This week, the gang laments how Dennis Allen has set the Saints’ brand value back 30 years; wonders if DA will get fired anyway, despite reports that he’s returning; and discuss how the team did actually look good while they dismembered the Bucs on the road.
 
Time codes:
 
2:05 – It’s been an awful year, but the Saints are somehow still alive, and that's cool!
13:00 – The Saints have lost the fanbase and the brand has taken a financial blow
17:54 – The NFL desperately needs a farm system
19:30 – Most likely outcome is: Pete Carmichael gets scapegoated and we bring in a new OC
22:02 – DA’s roster management is baffling
28:40 – Who could potentially replace Pete Carmichael?
32:18 – Despite the reports to the contrary, will the Saints still fire DA?
49:50 – The Saints did actually look great against the Bucs, but we have no faith they’ll play well two weeks in a row
