The New Orleans Saints have officially been eliminated from the playoffs after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched the division title this weekend, and the Saints’ only chance of making the wild card spot was dashed with a Minnesota Vikings loss. This is now the second year in a row that the Saints have missed the playoffs after four straight appearances from 2017-2020. This has led to various questions being brought up, as well as speculations as to what direction this team should/will go in for the foreseeable future.
In this article, I will be discussing some of the major topics that need to be answered going forward if this team is to have a brighter future, as well as my personal opinion as to how it will be handled.
