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
