Saints 2008 schedule

andersen · 04-15-2008, 02:15 PM

I like the bye after the London game and the team will fly out straight from the Carolina game and get adjusted. Afterwards, some time to rest and get ready for the rest of the year.
And, I LOVE the two Monday night games in the dome. Thanks NFL.

Other than Phillip Rivers I don't see a quality QB that can hurt us in the group. I think this more than anything should facilitate us taking Rivers first round and DT second round. I think if we can take the run away first we should have good success pressuring all of these Mediocre to crappy QB's into some pics on third down.

No Mannings - Eli or Peyton
No Brady
No Palmer
No Young
No Bulger

I mean we are going to be going up against Jamarcus Russell, Alex Smith, whoever Tampa throws out there, whoever ATL throws out there, maybe Delhomme, Brodie Croyle, Aaron Rodgers, Rex Grossman, Tavaris Jackson, etc.

None of those guys strikes much fear in my heart. All or most of those teams have potent ground attacks however. We must beef up our front seven.

I agree. Without pressure, even these guys will pick us apart. We've all seen it.

I'm planning to come to a game again this year and i'll also plan to get one on the road the week befor or after so I got 2 questions. Will it be warm enough in Florida in November that I can go to the beach if I go to Tampa Bay and are the Bucs fans friendly against us Saints fans?

I would love to watch 2 division games and Bucs and Falcons are only one week apart...

A. Tampa avg temp in Nov is around 75 F. The water temp is still pretty warm too.... Sweden is what, 35 F??? I'd say you'll be fine on the beach...

B. On my trips to TB, the fans have always been cool. It's a great stadium to watch a game (especially under the ship) and a great town to hang out in after the game.

I live in Atlanta now and they have a mixed bag of fans (cheaper seats = nastier fans)

I'm planning on making TB for the game also. Let me know if you go!!
