Dattitude Ep. 201: Saints and their fans have reason to smile Sunday

Just about everyone wearing black and gold, including Alontae Taylor, were all smile Sunday after the New Orleans Saints defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 23-13, at Raymond James Stadium. In a special Sunday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 201), Derry’s Dime says to enjoy the playoff chances - no matter how small - while they last.

Yeah, we get it. You’ve been screaming about how much you hate Dennis Allen and Derek Carr. Back when they were 5-7, you were hoping they would go like 1-4 the rest of the way, and real changes would be made.

Those chances for change are gone. But you know what isn’t gone? The Saints playoff chances. So you might as well enjoy these days while they’re still around. You never know when the next time this team will have a shot at the playoffs.

And that is exactly what Jim Derry is screaming in his “Dime” on a special Sunday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 201) – the final episode of 2023 (for real this time) – as that 12-percent shot at the postseason suddenly has become 31 percent with one game remaining.
