Certainly is possible; the Steelers game could get flexed.

Would there ever be a possibility that the Saints don't have to play Sunday night then on the road on Thursday night against a division rival?
That's 3 consecutive years of the same thing.

On the bright side its a its a nice long break to recover between the Panthers and 49ers.

Im not too worried myself, its a shame to be on the road the first two games but a nice block of three weeks at home midseason will help as will getting a possible cold weather game at the Browns out yhe way early.

I think we're solid for 11 wins. I'll put my money on 12.

Me too
Dont mind monday night but Sunday prime time is a nightmare.
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

Better Chicago than Cleveland in December. Also, I'm glad we're playing on the road on grass going into the playoffs, given the likelihood that we will have to travel and play outdoors on grass 1st round. Nothing like getting used to it.

IMHO, not so H, Thursday night games are ridiculous and should be banned. Given how low quality they have been over the years and the number of injuries due to fatigue, it is a dilution of the NFL brand to subject the participants to this crass money grab that doesn't even pay out.

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.

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.

WillSaints81 04-24-2014 08:23 PM

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

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.

I'm, going 13-3. We've played Chicago 4 times now in their stadium in cold weather and only once in our place which we won. We need to show the NFL that we can win on the road and in cold weather. No better time than now.

Because I live in Houston and the closest game is Dallas this year:) It is too early to look now unless you just want to over spend ..

Preseason tickets are astronomical this time of year.. last year the Saints Texans tickets were 300+ until mid August then I was on the 50 yard line 11th row for $85.

Re: New Orleans Saints to play five prime-time games in 2014
 
We win 11-13 games this year. And one of those losses will come from resting our starters in week 17. H F A baby!! (HFA = Super Bowl.)

oh, I didn't mean that as a question directed at you...I meant that because the Saints have a captive audience with the season ticket base that they have no need sell individual games.

Just got an email from Saints offering additional seats.
I followed the link and there are exactly SIX season tickets available, all singles

It looks like Roger did his best to hinder us by giving us late season cold away games. This year we will dispel another myth about Saints football. Our power running game should be rolling by then. :cool:
