Not for me its not
Saints home games are 6pm in the UK,the secind set of games start 21-21:30. Night games are horrible. Dont need to be getting up at 1am. Even the 21:00 are brutal when you get up at 04:30 for work

That's what happens when you lose three straight home games on Monday night.

Well...I'd rather the toughest games in the beginning than at the end. Just going by records..first qtr games win loss total is 38 to 26, 2nd qtr games 31 to 34, 3rd qtr games 25 to 32, 4th qtr games 36 to 28. As a sidebar, keep in mind we play craplanta twice in the last 4 games which kinda skews the win/losses. So the 1st 4 games appear to be the tougher out of the rest which is good if we can start gelling and playing good ball.

There is no difference between playing the pats week 2 and late in the season. That's a home game. Time for the offense to not throw the defense under the bus here and actually gut out plays. Time for Drew to show he can hang with Brady.

Now, look at the schedule after week 7. I say week 7 because that week 6 matchup that has become the proverbial monkey.

Chicago
TB
@Buffalo(not in December either)
Washington
@LAR
Car
@Atl
NYJ

So do we go 4-4 again and lose to the average bills and Washington to go 4-6? We're not getting swept by Carolina so week 3 or week 13 we are winning. I can see Chicago, TB, one of those three games weeks 9-12, and Carolina being wins. I see jets as a win and Atlanta week 16 as a win(they're not sweeping again). That's 6 wins. All we need is 2 wins before week 8 and we can play for playoffs against bucs week 17. I say dolphins is a win and we have a bye before Detroit. They have TWO WEEKS to plan for that game.

If we get AP................he has their number. And I don't think anyone is factoring that Carolina lost Ginn Jr to us. We are better than Carolina right now on paper. Miami is overrated. We're not starting 0-4 or 1-3. Vikings might be tough but Bradford sure isn't.

NFC wild card records are also weakening. I don't see anyone as a wild card winning 10+ games.
