Will we play on SNF this year?
 

Last year I remember thinking we wouldn't and we ended up getting one. This year teams like Baltimore, San Diego, and SF had bad seasons which likely renders them ineligible for SNF games. And they have more appeal than all of the other 7-9 teams. However this could be the one that knocks us out:LA Rams. They could not get a SNF any other season with that record but because they are now in LA they might get a home opener there.

I currently have us playing Seattle on SNF with Arizona playing NE and Carolina going to Denver. Carolina will likely play Seattle as well for their other game and Seattle will play Arizona for their third game and Arizona's other game. Denver and NE will have two others in the conference(including division games and Indy for Denver and Pittsburgh for NE). But there's the debate of if NBC wants Seattle/NE that bad and if Fox will take Seattle/NO for a late gotw. Possibly Carolina can play Arizona, Seattle can play NE, and NO hosts Denver. I don't think NBC wants us at cards on SNF.

Now if the rams get involved and get a home game for LA reasons, then they could play Arizona, freeing up NE for Seattle and knocking us out. If LA were to play Carolina, then Seattle is playing both us and NE on SNF and won't play Carolina because Carolina will already go to LA out west. Arizona will then end up with just 1 game. The other options Atlanta I have playing GB, Washington two division games, Jets playing NE, and Minnesota playing GB(GB's annual NBC division game). TB, Buffalo, Miami, SF, LA(because they would have one) are not options at all.

So do we get screwed over for the LA rams on NBC?

Maybe even in London...

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

It is not a bad thing in my opinion. this team could use a break from a screwed up schedule.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

I sure hope we don't.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

I don't care... I don't like having to stay up til 11:00 when I get up at 4:30 am.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

We're not playing in London

The London games are
Ind@Jac(week 4)
Was@Cin(week 7)
NYG@LA(week 8)

There's another Mexixo City game after 10 seasons without one
Houston@Sac/SA/LV/whoever

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

Oh I'm sure they will. Michaels and Worthless always seem to speak about how good of a time they have in town plus I'm sure the crew likes it too

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

I'm more concerned about getting a MNF game!

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

God No London.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

MNF's are easier to get than SNFs.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

everyone gets a TNF game, just about everyone gets a MNF game it seems now

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

Man those are even worse.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

It is all but certain that we are definitely playing on at least one Sunday night game.

Sunday night, September the 25th 2016, is the 10 year anniversary of the Katrina Gleason block (Sept. 25th, 2006).

The way I see it, there is virtually no way the league and NBC are going to let that one slip through their fingers. They absolutely love that play and that story. There's almost no way they would conceivably pass an opportunity to put that on in prime time... It's arguably the biggest storyline out of New Orleans in the history of the franchise. So big the team actually built a statue of it outside the Dome....

Saints/Falcons, in the Dome, Sunday night. Book it!

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

Thanks for the goosebumps, can't believe its been 10 years. NBC would be stupid not to show that matchup on SNF

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

We never play the falcons on Sunday night?

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

True but as we've discussed, this year's is kind of important plus NLFN can have their TNF game in that circus tent out east

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

Any prime time game brings out the best in Sean Payton and Drew Brees. I don't care if it's Thursday, Sunday or Monday night football. I want our boys on the field in front of a nationally televised audience for a late game. Normally the Saints shine in prime time.

Of course Der Kommisar Godhell would love to schedule us a road trip on a short week just to try to screw us when possible. He's doing his best. For crying out loud we've got three west coast games on this years schedule! :argue:

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

I don't think Goodell has anything to do with the week to week schedule, I think he has a say in some primetime matchups. But Howard Katz is the one that does the schedule. It's not that easy to set the schedule either. They use a computer system I hear.

I try to predict the week to week schedule every year and always fail.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

I couldnt care less.

Re: Will we play on SNF this year?
 

Also what is with blaming Goodell for everything including the crusifiction of Christ? We had a bounty system, he found out about it, he told us to stop, we didnt and got caught. What is he supposed to do? Im sure he has much better things to do then hang out in his moms basement planning the demise of the Saints.

you didn't hear Goodell knows the cure for every disease but he burned all the documents
