New Orleans Saints to play five prime-time games in 2014

04-24-2014, 01:59 PM

Zoiks! The ticket prices are sky high. The Cinci game this year costs more than the Dallas game last year. Looks like I won't be at any games this season.

Everyone take a deep breath and laugh with me.

Atlanta doesn't have a home game from Week 7 through week 11. The Lions game is in London

5 weeks for season ticket holders to watch TV.

Carolina doesn't get a BYE week until Week 12 and 3 of their last 4 games are division games. Also have a 4 game stretch of @Packers, Seahawks, Saints, @ Eagles

Tampa Bay Last 4 games @ Detroit, @ Carolina, Packers, Saints (1 prime time week 3

Yessir. Some rumbling about our schedule, warranted maybe, but we're not as bad off as some other teams. Of course I particularly enjoy the Falcons going missing for 5 weeks. Then again they've been missing for pretty much an entire season, right?

Dont get nervous, ticket prices you see right now are Ticket holders selling their tickets, not Box office tickets. Box Office tickets are not on sale yet.

Our schedule from the BYE week to the Bears could be brutal. Luckily we'll have the BYE to get ready for that run.

KO times in the UK 6pm,9/9:30pm and around 2am for primetime.
I can deal with Monday/thursday night as ill sleep early and get up to watch before work but Sunday is horrible if you want to watch other games too

Ever heard of a dvr mate?

The current SNF game is broncos@chiefs for that week. And its a CBS week but games can be flexed now. But that CBS big game is pats@packers.

I'm not going to lie I think we split first two road games. If we beat Atlanta we will face a challenge with Cleveland coming off that big win. If not, we will take that much more seriously.

I see it this way after 1-1 start
Vikes-W
@Cowboys-W
Bucs-W
@Lions-W(off bye helps)
Packers-W(our place)
@Panthers-W(see their games before us)
49ers-W(will be close again)
Bengals-Toss-up
Ravens-W
@Steelers-L
Panthers-W
@Bears-Toss-up
Falcons-W
@Bucs-L

I see three losses but two tossups one is hosting bengals and ravens from same division back to back. I could see Cincinatti as one of the trap games, but if we're one loss at that point who knows and bengals are definitely regressing. Then there's the bears. Bears will also be at home two straight weeks and have 10 days rest. At worst 10-6, realistically 11-5. December is another tough month.

I'm planning on being home either Thanksgiving or Christmas... I'm making one of those game!

Technically the Saints don't sell individual games, as the season ticket waiting list continues to grow. Why mess with single games when you can do all of the accounting in June and be done?

Visiting teams do occasionally release their tickets, but not too often, and you usually don't find out until Thursday of that week.
