The NFL moving this game to 4:25 is more evidence they want Brees in the SB

Like seriously, why?! What on earth could other reasons be for randomly out of the blue moving this game to an early evening one? NFL rarely moves time slots for games this early in the season, usually it happens weeks 14-16, but now?!

You might be asking what on earth this has to do with Brees? It’s simple, which would be easier for us? Playing this game early during the afternoon and sunshine, or playing this game where it will be pitch dark by half time in a freezing Lambeu field?! 

Us and the Packers aren’t division rivals, we aren’t tied for the same record or anything, there is no interesting story line for this game at all, why?! WHY?!?

Maybe the NFL assumes people want to see MVP candidate running back CMC against a Packers run defense that is prone to giving up big plays.  Maybe they also assume that people want to see two teams who are still in the playoffs race square off against each other.

Look at the games this week. The only one even arguably with more national appeal is Cowboys-Vikings which is already the Sunday night game. I'm also not sure this game is as impactful to the Saints in the way you are implying. I doubt they're too worried about us with a 2 game lead, better division record and 2 games of Brees vs Allen left on the schedule. You could easily argue that us beating GB is better for them because it gives them an easier path to a first round bye.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      It really is insane how they always try to rig the game vs Dallas. Two exceptions being our playoff games.    Had we lost it definitely would have been right up there with the 2014 Playoffs vs 49ers, Dallas 05, Saints 2018 Playoffs, and SB50 as all time rigged games.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.
