Saints 2024 Schedule
Posted on 1/7/24 at 6:44 pm
Posted on 1/7/24 at 6:44 pm
Since the season is officially over.
Many will say we won't get an easier schedule than this year, which is true, but the schedule most likely won't be significantly more difficult.
We substitute the NFC Central for the NFC East next year which I don't think is a big change. Yes the Cowboys and the Eagles are very good teams but the Giants and Redskins (I will never call them Commanders) are terrible organizations.
Since we finished second we'll play the Rams and ironically the Packers next year. Meanwhile the Bucs will play the Lions and the 49ers. I'd much rather play the Rams with an aging Stafford and the Packers with a mediocre Love to get revenge than the Lions and 49ers, two teams built to be very good for awhile. That alone gives us an advantage against the Bucs within the division.
Essentially the NFC schedule will be very similar. You essentially trade out the Lions and Vikings for the Cowboys and Eagles. Lions and Cowboys are essentially equal while the Eagles are significantly better than the Vikings.
The biggest change is we play the AFC West next year compared to the AFC South this year. I mean yes that means the Chiefs but they could be starting to decline. They have no downfield threat outside of Kelce which they will have to address. And there's nothing that crazy scare me about the Raiders, Broncos or Chargers. The 17th game will be against the Browns. The 17th game this year was against the Patriots. While the Browns are much better this year than the Patriots, it's still the Browns so who knows what they'll be next year.
From what I've seen the schedule sets up this way:
Bucs, Falcons and Panthers - Home and Home as Usual
Home Games
Eagles
Redskins
Rams
Raiders
Broncos
Browns
Away Games
Cowboys
Giants
Packers
Chiefs
Chargers
9 Home Games and 8 Away Games. For away games the Falcons, Chargers and Cowboys games are in Domes with no weather concerns and the Bucs game, while outside, will have no weather concerns. Panthers game would have minimal weather concerns. Packers, Giants and Chiefs are the only games with weather concerns depending on the time of year.
So essentially while the schedule is slightly more difficult I wouldn't say it's a difficult schedule and not significantly mores than this year. The NFC part of the schedule is almost the same in terms of difficulty. The AFC portion is the part that's more difficult but again I wouldn't say by a significant amount. We still miss the three toughest divisions in the NFL currently: NFC West, AFC East and AFC North.

Chargers don’t play outside.
ETA: pretty good analysis though.

My bad, had a lapse there. I updated the post.

That schedule is brutal. At least it means 2024 should be Allen’s last season in New Orleans.

I'd love to know what you're smoking.
We miss the following teams in 2024:
Ravens
Bills
Dolphins
Lions
49ers
Seahawks
Bengals (strength depending on what happens with Burrow)
Jets (strength depending on what happens with Rodgers)
We miss the three best divisions currently in the NFL in the NFC West, AFC East and AFC Central.
Out of the 7 teams in the AFC playoffs this year we miss 5 next year: Ravens, Bills, Dolphins, Steelers and Texans. Included in that we miss 3 out of the 4 AFC division winners.
Out of the 7 teams in the NFC playoffs this year we miss 2 next year: 49ers and Lions. So we miss 2 of the 4 NFC division winners and the top seed in the 49ers. The Bucs we are guaranteed to play regardless. Everyone in the division will play the Cowboys and the Eagles. Yes we play the Rams and Packers that are in the playoff as wild card teams but we played both of those teams this year. And it's a lot better than playing the 49ers and Lions like the Bucs will be playing.
Plus 2024 is a year we get 9 home games (unless one of the home games becomes an International Game).
So please tell how this schedule is so hard. It isn't. It's more difficult than this year but not by a lot and it's definitely not brutal unless NFL scheduling screws us over (either in terms of when we play certain teams and the position of our bye week) which obviously isn't out of the realm of possibility. But based on the teams it's not a brutal schedule.

I'll never call them anything else besides the Redskins. Just on principle I will never call them that other name. Honestly even Washington Football Team was starting to grow on me but I'll never call them by the current name.

Didn’t realize it’s the AFC West next year. Payton coming back to the dome.

Assuming AFC North is what you meant

Because Dennis Allen is the head coach and Carmichael is the OC. No schedule could be easy enough for them to be successful. Won’t matter. Didn’t matter this year.

I will always think of the Redskins as Joe Gibb’s Hogs ! Also Doug Williams and John Riggins. I hope I don’t offend anyone but Washington will always be the Redskins to me.

Watch the Broncos “home” game get moved overseas. That would be a Goodell move.

Would think they’d want the Payton back to Nola intrigue.

9 Home Game
Usually that will mean one home game will be overseas. Or 1 home preseason game in the new 3 pre season game format. This year we had 2 out of 3 home preseason games.
I say this because season tickets are typically based on 10 home games.

Yes and I'm guessing we'll know for sure when the preseason schedule is released (typically before the regular season schedule). If we get 2 preseason home games then it's probably almost guaranteed a home game will be overseas. If we get 1 preseason home game there's a decent chance all 9 regular season home games will actually be in the Dome.
I don't mind either way as we all knew the 17 game schedule was largely approved so that there could be more overseas games. It was a way for the NFL to easily make a home game an overseas game without that team (with the exception of the Jaguars who have that London agreement due to their owner) having less than 8 home games.
It won't be the Broncos game though. The NFL will want that game in the Dome. Even if the team isn't as good that game will be intense.
