The Saints play the Packers, Giants and 40-whiners after they play on MNF, so we get them on a short week!

I didn't notice, thanks!! But I did notice we got Green Bay in Green Bay again, I thought that should have been a home game for us since we played there last year. It is a tough schedule.

I guess because it was the season opener last season, the special circumstances might not warrant them to necessarily play at the Superdome.

I'm just glad it's early in the season.

Swings and roundabouts. Depends how any player suspensions play out.

Play in Winter, possibly play without suspended players. Tough to call.

True, but the same goes for any injuries teams might suffer during the length of the season, so it's impossible to know beforehand what would be the ideal time in the season to play a certain team.

I just know that cold weather games do not have the ideal conditions for the Saints' offense, so that is one thing that won't work against them in a early season match up.

Also, I think that the suspensions will be very limited in the end, so I don't expect them to have as big of an impact on the Saints' season as the initial punishments on staff personnel and the franchise.

Of course, Goodell can certainly prove me wrong.

I think it sucks that the Atlanta Monday night game is in Atlanta. Noon kickoffs for Falcons games are tough, no question there is a reeeeeal difference between a rowdy Dome crowd at a night game or a late game, versus the volume in the Dome at a noon game. A part of why the Saints are so much better during prime time games. Would be nice to have that advantage. Oh well.

seems like every other year for MNF- it's their trurn
and the crowd is overrated- 2 years ago when we needed the win for the WC spot fans were filing out before the game was even decided

Dome crowd, over rated? What game was that, and was it a night game like I was talking about? The Saints clinched the wild card berth in 2010 on the road, when they beat the Falcons in Atlanta.

Well, a tougher schedule means no excuses when we are successful. I like it. The tougher, the better.

Doesn't matter to me when we play whatever team... We'll beat them and prove that we're the better team and shove it up the NFL's a$$!!
