re: Schedule Leaks on Schedule release day

Not thrilled about two road games to start @Detroit and @Baltimore. Just try to win one of those and it's a success.

4 of the last 6 games are division games, so once again NFL is really backloading division games. Our last 9 games, 5 division games. Our first 8 games, 1 division game.

The bye in the middle of the season, and right after the Paris game, was expected and I think sets up really well. You don't want a bye too early or too late, so I'm happy with that.

Still not seeing any primetime games which is disappointing.

Also hate seeing Bengals game on Thanksgiving Weekend. That eliminates me considering going to that as my away game for the year.

Probably going to look at going to the Vikings, Browns or Cardinals game.

I do like the fact there are 4 weekends where both the Saints and LSU have home games.

9/26 - LSU vs Texas A&M
9/27 - Saints vs Raiders

10/3 - LSU vs McNeese
10/4 - Saints vs Dirty Birds

11/7 - LSU vs Bama
11/8 - Saints vs Browns

11/14 - LSU vs Texas
11/15 - Saints vs Panthers

The 9/26-9/27 and 11/7-11/8 weekends are especially enticing. There are going to be some hungover Saints fans at the Raiders, Browns and Panthers games. Out of those three SEC games for LSU, I'm guessing at least two will be at night, so quick turnarounds for fans.

I don't hate that really.

there's going to be much made about having to play Detroit and Baltimore the first two games but the good news there is that even if we go 0-2. at least it won't be 0-2 in conference play. now that would suck if it was two NFC teams who were playing first and lost to but that's not the case.

We are going to roll out that Friday morning and just drive to Cinci with a pit stop at the deer camp in MS or in Nashville. Just booked the Hilton downtown 1/2 mile from the stadium for $125/night

The Falcons home game is Monday night football.

Glad to be back on MNF, especially for the Falcons game. Good memories of the amazing 2006 MNF game against the Falcons in the first game back in the Dome.

My earlier comment about 4 Saints-LSU weekends was premature. Still 3 weekends though for fans who want to do a Saints game and LSU game on the same weekend.

Thats so dumb
