It is a do-or-die moment in the NFL now. With only 2-3 games left in the regular season, each team is making moves to secure a better position. The New Orleans Saints are no different in this matter. With the threat of being fired hanging on his neck, HC Dennis Allen handles the situation with poise.

Though the Saints still have a slight chance of making it to the playoffs, their performance against the Los Angeles Rams doesn’t inspire confidence. The 30-22 loss on the road has been blamed on the 51-year-old HC Allen and his aggressive calling. But Allen steps out with a positive message.

Dennis Allen is not in control of his destiny

The loss against the Rams has pushed the Saints’ chances to get to the playoffs further back. And while firing reports of the HC are out and about, Allen puts on a brave face. The current situation in the NFC is that the Saints need favorable results elsewhere, to qualify for the playoffs. And the head coach understands their predicament.

“The biggest thing is we’ve got two divisional games left to play. So, our focus is going to be on trying to win those two divisional games and then we’ll let everything play out from there”, said Allen on his unique situation to the media at the press conference.

As Allen stated, both games are against their divisional rivals in the NFC South. So the good news is that the games are against the teams that HC Allen and the Saints squad know very well. But the bad news is their previous meetings with these teams earlier this season resulted in losses.

The Saints have to take revenge

The Saints take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. In their Week 4 matchup, the Bucs came out on top at the Saints’ home ground, winning by 26-9. The Saints then face their other divisional foe, the Atlanta Falcons, for the last game of the regular season.

This game also didn’t turn out in the Saints’ favor. They lost 15-24 against the Falcons on the road. But now, for the best chance to make it to the playoffs, HC Allen and his team must win these two games.

Do you think the Saints will manage to take revenge against the divisional rivals? Let us know in the comments.
