We have no home games that are not at noon. What in the frick.

I get that we haven't been that great in recent years, but we have still been competitive, and this is still New Orleans, a city known for its nightlife. youre going to constrain us to nothing but noon games at home all year? I've been thinking about dropping the NFL for a couple of years now, and this off season, with the league showing how little it gives a frick about fan bases like the chargers and the raiders, the rams last year, and now this horeshit schedule, I might just put my focus on college.

Thanks for pointing that out and I agree it blows. Noon kickoffs for home games are my least favorite. Crowd is never as into it and usually the dome doesn't fill until the middle of the first quarter.

Pretty sure the last few games on the schedule can be flexed.. no need to melt

That's a problem with the fans not the time.

No argument there. The noon kickoff doesn't help though.

NFL schedules game times based on TV ratings. DWI.

I live in the Mountain Time Zone so these games come on at 11 AM for me. I have to record the game and catch up when I get home from church.

I hate seeing how empty it is until midway through the 1st quarter, I remember 2009/2011 seasons it was packed as hell before the player intros even started.

Dropping viewership in the NFL has been a trend that goes unreported. The penalties on players and franchises levied by God-ell coupled with the player shenanigans during the national anthem creates disconnect with long time fans. Fantasy football has created more stat conscious and a less viewer conscious fan base!

These late-season Washington, Carolina, and Atlanta games have flex written all over them. Maybe not to NBC primetime, but certainly 3:25 pm.

No, that's the problem with a losing team. The dome rocked for noon games when the team was good

It takes a lot longer to get in the stadium nowadays with all this security at the gates. I remember getting in line for the Seahawks game at 11:30 and didn't get through the doors until 12:15. That's just ridiculous.

just wait until the late season "flex". If the Saints are playing well, it'll happen

Yep. If you want prime time games & late kickoffs, don't go 7-9 every year.
