Saints Stranded

they can watch film anywhere in 2013

 

Yes they can but the problem is created by the fact that by contract the players are guaranteed a day off between games and traveling for the team doesn't count as a day off.

 

This would have been their off day but now they may have to have it on Wed which would have already been scheduled for other team activities.

 

It's defiantly more than just a minor inconvenience.

So this means we have about 132 hours before we hear:

-"WELL OF COURSE U BEAT US! WE WERE STUCK IN SEATTLE FOR AN EXTRA DAY!!"

And....

-"WHO CARES IF U WON? U HAD AN EXTRA DAY OF PRACTICE SINCE WE PLAYED ON MONDAY NIGHT! AND WE'RE STILL BANGED UP!!!"

...out of saints fans? Great

Hey I'll take a win either way but it does get annoying how the press always talks about our wins with an asterisk by it.  But you are right a win is a win.

 

Nobody puts an * besides the Pats Super Bowls and they were involved in spying.  Winning is all that matters, sir.  No one will care about excuses in 10 years.  It's all about the W's.

No I actually mean required by the CBA.

 

For Sunday games that day is Monday and after wins you'll often hear a coach give them the Tuesday - "I'll see you on Wednesday!"

 

But for Monday night games that extra day is not there.  Its why the teams fly home the night of the game as opposed to staying in the city where they played and flying home in the morning.

 

 

 

Now admittedly I could be wrong on this but its the way Ive always understood the schedule for NFL teams during the week.

    • 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
