Hell, yes, I'm a cheerleader. Always looking for the best. I love watching my Saints play. I don't go searching for reasons to lessen that enthusiasm.

Well said, got to believe now cuz we ain't getting any younger.
Once senility sets in it won't matter, and for some of us it's already
creeping in.

Not going to say what the record will be, but i will say they are the sleeper this year. While the rest of the league pays attention to the team's that were in the playoff race last year New Orleans is quietly making moves. The fact that we only have 2 primetime games shows that even the networks don't think they mean business this year. Cheers to a better 2017 season. I hope i am able to watch them this year. I could hardly keep my eyes open last year. The improvement of the defense was the only excitement i had.

While it is true that the 2017 squad is 0-0 Guido, the schedule, including primetime scheduling, is based on varying degrees of past performance.

Primetime games features teams with recent playoff history with some degree of star power. So if you look at the primetime matchups of playoff teams such as Detroit, Dallas, Green Bay, Kansas City, and the like you'll see higher numbers.

I'm not knocking the system. Nor knocking the current Saints squad. But as I posted before only improved performance this year including a playoff run will project to more primetime games in the future.
