Jason Smith and Mike Harmon react to the Broncos blowing out the Saints on Thursday Night Football. Following a game where New Orleans didn't look even remotely competitive, Jason and Mike wonder if the head coach, Dennis Allen, will be the next to get axed by ownership.
Jason Smith: "It's hard for me to not think Dennis Allen is gonna be the next head coach to be fired in the NFL... certain losses -- anything that happens on national television -- is a bigger deal... This was a Saints team that in the last month has shown that with injuries and ineffectiveness, they just don't have anything going on for them. They don't have any jump on offense, their defense is bad... they can't tackle! This is an example of [a lack of] effort and a lack of urgency, and that's when a coach gets fired."
Mike Harmon: "That's the thing... The Broncos aren't even a good team [and they blew the Saints out]!... The Saints play the Chargers next, [and they're a better team than the Broncos!]... The Broncos are not getting anything on either side of the ball, and that's a sad way to be."
