I don't think so. These decisions are driven by ratings and popularity and the Saints are NOT all that anymore, not after last year, or the last 2-3 years.

If they're competitive, they may get a later game FLEXED into prime time, with playoff implications, but I don't see the networks investing a lot of interest or energy in the Saints right now at the start of the season. Maybe ONE game if there's nothing else going on that night.

You saw how when we traded Graham, the Vegas odds of us winning the Super Bowl went down so much? No Sproles, no Graham, front office turmoil, no big name celebrity players besides Brees, who the media desperately wants to see traded somewhere else -- they are not that interested in us, my friends. The Super Bowl was a long time ago.

It's 'what have you done for me lately?' The Saints got blown out by Dallas (boring game) and they only beat the Packers barely, because of Rodgers hammie. I'm not saying that's really the case, but that's the way these people think.

They decide these games based on ratings and media storylines and lowest-common denominator type fluff stuff. Seattle will have a ton of games as will Denver. Giants will have 2 or 3 games because of Odell Beckham's one handed catch and Victor Cruz's dancing. You really can't overthink the level of this stuff. We are basically like, on the level of a lowly San Diego or Cincinatti right now -- maybe one or two good players, but they really don't care what we do.
