Schedule comes out Wednesday and Brees is gone.

So how many "primetime games do you think the Saints get? How many game of the week on Fox?

I say 3. One Sunday, one on Monday , and one on Thursday.

Game of the week. Probably one


Which is fine with me. I rather have noon games anyway.

I hate waiting for the 3 pm or primetime games.


Who thinks more ? Less ?

Knowing Goodell, we will probably lose a home game to London the week after facing a Division opponent at their house.

The first Thursday game with the Super Bowl champ at home is usually announced a few days before the entire schedule. I actually hope it’s Saints Vs Bucs because you get extra time to prepare for week 2.

Shame we haven’t had any mock schedules from El Campo this year

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Saints fan say this. Not judging, but I’d personally start a petition to stop noon games in NO forever.

Over the years I have heard several times from Saints fans that they would like noon games. Don't want to wait all day for the game.

Also won't be forced to listen to some analyst and play callers like Joe Buck or Chris Collinsworth.

With games against Tampa twice, Dallas, Seattle, Buffalo, and Green Bay Id say we will be in primetime quite a bit.

I think there's a good chance that if the Bucs get the home Thursday opener, it'll be against the Saints. The only other realistic home opponent for that would be the Cowboys, but I'd have a feeling the NFL will save that game for big-audience later date.

NOON GAMES
Atlanta (x2)
Carolina (x2)
NY Jets
Philadelphia
Buffalo
Miami
Tennessee

3:05/3:25 GAMES
Tampa Bay (home)
NY Giants (3:05)
New England
Seattle
Washington

SNF
Dallas

MNF
Green Bay

TNF
Tampa Bay (away)

It wouldn't surprise me if we got one "extra" game like Thanksgiving or one of those extra Saturday games at the end of the season. If so, it would be against an NFC East team, AFC East team, or Seattle

I have a feeling we’re going to end up in Mexico City this year

I think Tampa v. Buffalo starts the season. It's intriguing enough for a national game, but not so good that Fox protects it.

I’m hearing there won’t be any games in Mexico City this year. Thank God.

Does the season opener count as a Thursday night game when they try to force every team to play Thurs night. If not, I think you have to add Atl & Car as a possible 2nd Thrus night game

Other than that I think this is a good breakdown

I actually preferred the noon games when I went and the 3pm or primetime games when watching on TV

So I was wrong about Green Bay being MNF, so I'm going to take another guess:

SNF: Dallas and Tampa Bay
MNF: NY Giants
TNF: Atlanta
