Only if the Saints play and win or the failclowns lose!

Considering that the Saints end up being the road team every time, no, I don't like them.

hate it - sacrolidge!

Pro Football is played on Sunday. Except MAYBE once a season on Monday.

(Also Two Monday Night games is too many. One I can handle (though don't love it)

If it throws my entire schedule in to a hyper spin - i can't imagine what it does for the players and staff.

It is the worst thing to happen to the game since they added the face mask.

No. Look at the sea chickens. Played Sunday, walk through Monday and Tuesday, fly out Wednesday , play Thursday. Not sure we get the best games on Thursday....just not a fan of em. Seems like a little sloppier. Just my two pennies.

I hate Monday also

Sunday is for God and the Saints

Fast forward ...

Saints play divisional foe CAROLINA on Dec 3. Then days later, Thursday Dec 7th @ Atlanta. I don't like Thursday Night games either.

I am hoping the tail spin of the falcon continues so this is not a huge game after winning the panthers game.

Well the Falcons got past the Cowboys, and that, my friend, is a good thing because when we beat those MFers...

...and we will beat them my friend, we'll be a better team for it and the doubters will be scrambling for other excuses...

To me, the league over complicates the schedule and there's no doubt in my mind it's by design for a desired outcome...

The schedule should be very static...

Open the season with division foes, alternating home and away games and the inverse to close the season...

Progress that part of the schedule each year in alternating fashion...

Keep same conference rotation but have those games split after the division games and then prior to the end of season division games...

Play the interconference games in the middle of the season with the current rotation of facing different non-conference divisions each season...

No Thursday night games and eliminate the foreign soil games, bringing back a minor league NFL-E league to develop interests...

And Bye Weeks should only be for the Weeks 7, 8, and 9 and that should be a progressive rotation (Saints seem to get a lot of early bye weeks)...
