Could we have 3 more primetime games this regular season?

Okay, before you get all uppity and call me crazy, know that I know that this is a huge long shot... I'm focused on Miami and just want to keep winning and win out...

But...

Week 14: Panthers/Saints - very likely at this point (imho) to be flexed in place of Packers/Falcons (yawn)

Week 15: Panthers/Jets - only game that week, if I am reading it right, to feature two over-.500 teams... It is tentatively Cincy/Pittsburgh, but right now that one is looking pretty lopsided towards Cincy...

 

Week 16: Panthers/Saints rematch... This one is now looking like it will have the most competition for flexing... Colts/Chiefs, Seahawks/Cardinals, and Bears/Eagles... But our game could easily be the most interesting/important scenario in the league that week

 

Would NBC even consider us 3 weeks in a row? How would you feel about playing SNF 3 weeks in a row if they did?

Pretty interesting the way things are shaping up for flex games in the NFL in the coming weeks, any way you look at it...

 

Here's one of the sites I was looking at when this idea started swirling...

3 weeks would be awesome IMO. Won't happen, but would be sweet. I can see one being switched. Prob the first one in NO because they are undefeated there. Plus, Colts-Chiefs would win out because of Andrew Luck. (Unless Panthers & Saints were tied up or that game would determine division champ)

It's almost certain that our Week 14 game is flexed, with SF/Sea being protected, and the decision having to be made in 4 days.

 

The rematch week 16 will more than likely get moved to 4pm if we aren't flexed.  If Colts/Chiefs looks unappealing, and Baltimore is eliminated (scheduled game is NE-Bal), we've got a good shot at the prime time slot.

 

Nice find on that website, some very good detail in breaking down the possible time changes.

Hope not. I REALLY hope Eagles/Lions gets the nod. It would make things easier in the dome IMO with a 1pm start, and give us a better chance of more flex the next two weeks. Maybe, just maybe, they look at Detroit and Philly as larger markets and first place teams they won't have the rest of the year.

Hoping Week 14 isn't flexed. Isn't the New Orleans record at home on primetime games something ungodly?

 

Was hoping for the same thing, I just don't see it happening. 

 

Would be nice, they're gonna be on a somewhat shorter week as it is.  They play Monday night in a game that's a 5 hour flight away on the other side of the country.  It's a big game they can't look past.  We should be back in Charlotte reviewing film before they even kick off.  Don't want to give them any extra time to prep, even if its only a half day.  Will certainly change the HFA as well, if it gets flexed.

They play Monday night in Seattle, so they will not get back to New Orleans early tuesday morning.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
