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.

    • I'm really trying to give a fug....   Nope...that's  a lie.  I simply Don't give a fug about the bears, Caleb, or the fact we traded with them over a year ago.  All water under the bridge.  With that being said, Caleb is a punk ass rookie, that is in his first OTA in the NFL.  It really doesn't matter how he looks. He's suppose to be learning the system. 
    • I sit here and think, Y'all call me a Homer?  This thread is filled with mostly people on the Extremes.    Ones whom are incapable of believing a group of talented athletes can play well enough together to win.  And ones that fit this description.   In may.  Believe that our offense is going to magically start carrying this team. Which has never happened in the history of this franchise.   You guys have no business calling me a Homer. Seriously.    Now that I have expressed this... let me open up more on This current team than I have to this point  In THEORY, our run defense should be much improved.  Which would in turn, give the defense more opportunities to actually rush the passer.  More than last year anyways.  Once again, in THEORY, our running game should be much improved.   That in itself should benefit out defense, by allowing the offense the opportunity to actually sustain drives.  There isn't a single pass rusher on this team that scares me. Clowney is a pretty good complete defensive end/edge guy.  At no point in his career was he ever considered an elite pass rusher.  Now he's our best pass rusher. After that we have a wanna be journeyman pass rusher, and a lot of unknowns.  Even with more pass rush opportunities on the horizon, how ANYONE can be confident about our pass rush at this moment, just blows my mind.  Going back to offense.  IF our oline can come together, and ve somewhat healthy this year, that will be a miracle in of itself. Thus is coming from a fan whom always says the okine takes time to come together.  He'll, last year they never had the opportunity to come together.   The line was being shuffled from the beginning.  How anyone expected our young left tackle to be even competent when musical chairs was played all season long at the guard positions , blows my mind. Is anyone capable of understanding the impact that has on an oline?  Which in turn impacts the entire offense?  Seriously.   The fact people still want to say they know Young sucks/is a bust after the 1 rookie season behind that miserable attempt of even fielding an offense??? Seriously, what the fug are you smoking? That ain't good poo. You need a better source for your drugs man.  You guys have brain damage.  IF our oline can come together, IF our oline can remain decently healthy, then yes, our offense should, for the first time since Tepper has owned the team, be offensive to other teams!! Our running game should flourish.  Nothing in any generation of NFL is more effective andndangerous than a balanced offense.   While I am somewhat optimistic about what this team as attempting to field this season... I do have my doubts.  I can see how it can come together.  I can also see how it can fail to get traction at all.  Our team should at least be more entertaining to watch for the first time in I don't know how many years.  Maybe I'll actually attend some games this year.  I won't hold my breath.  If our team findsa way to improve to average, that means will win 6 to 9 games.  That's a pretty good improvement for a first year head coach.  Notnsurw how many of our fans would be alright with that. Seems our fans fall into 2 categories.   Superbowl, or tank, I mean don't you dare win 1 damn game, and fug up a high draft pick so we can continue to suck forever!!!! Hmmmm  Seems this post has been all over the place.  And you have the audacity to call me a Homer. 🙄
