I wouldn't put a lot of stock into it.

Green Bay Packers (-3.5) at New Orleans Saints

Time and channel: 4:25 PM ET, Local

I really liked the Saints before Hurricane Ida displaced them from the Superdome. This game will be held in Jacksonville, and the lack of home-field advantage combined with Jameis Winston throwing the ball to the wrong team will stymie the Saints here.

NFL Week 1 Picks and Predictions: Packers 31, Saints 20

In fact, not many teams covered last week.

I think the relatively low spread is a recognition of the fact that the Saints haven't actually been home since August at this point, along with much of the coaching staff going into COVID protocol during the same week a number of key starters were nicked up. That the Saints are still favored on the road this week is indicative of Vegas' opinion of the organization's health and the team's depth. One wonders what the spread would have been had the week one results been the same, but without the hurricane and COVID issues for New Orleans and with both teams at full strength.

I kinda wish we got to play them a little bit later than week two. Not having any real home games and living out of hotel rooms will wear them down eventually. They will still be pretty fresh only 8 days into the season.

Week one is the only home game the Saints will miss.  Games two and three were road games anyway.  The mayor has already said the Dome is ready for their next game against the Giants on October 3rd.  I'll be there in section 229.

Beat them later?

*looks at Panthers schedule* 🧐

By then (Week 17), it won't matter.

Plus, it will be on the road instead of at home.

I think the time to beat them is NOW with many of their players missing.

 

The Saints will have all the players that played the vast majority of the game against the Packers last week.  Lattimore is the only one that is questionable, but CB Bradley Roby will be active.  He wasn't available in week one.  But, you are correct in that Michael Thomas and David Onyemata will be available week 17.  But, by then the Saints may already have the playoff slot guaranteed and be resting players.

It is amazing what a year learning discipline from a QB legend and great coaching can accomplish.  Not to mention Lasik surgery.

Sure discipline thats it it's not like he couldn't were contacts either right? Tom Brady just won a SB with the roster this clown threw 31 INTs with. 

 

Remind me again who are your weapons on offense outside if Kamara?

The players that hauled in the other four TD's are among the weapons.  You'll be better acquainted with them after the game, I assure you.  

Oh, and Winston had 30 picks to go with his 33 TD's in 2019 under Bruce Arians' "No risk it, no biscuit" offensive scheme.

As for Brady last year, he was struggling until they abandoned Arians' offense and having weapons like Gronkowski, Antonio Brown, and Leonard Fournette which were not available to Winston had some impact, wouldn't you think?

Right right So Evens and Goodwin, Brate Jones, those aren't weapons?

 

Lol Players your no body's against a weak Packers defense.... Four touchdowns???? Omg you will learn not to judge one week Kyle Allen once had a better first game ever than Jameis.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
