That Thanksgiving Game vs the Bills should be a nice one.

Josh Allen is a solid QB, can make difficult throws on the run and has weapons.

Is it me, or do we always seem to end up at Tampa and the ATL in their house at the end of the season?!?

That’s what I’ve been saying. Every year it’s the same rhetoric, “defenses are ahead of offenses. Didn’t seem the case the past few years.

I think there are a few reasons for this. There has been a trend to go toward more of a complex read and react defense in recent years. This concept is still fairly new and hard to master without lots of practice with your teammates. Another factor has been the ever evolving defensive interpretations of the rules making the defensive player's job's harder to master at the most basic level. Another factor has been the advance in offensive play design and calling. The concept of just doing what you do best right of the bat instead of trying to involve your whole playbook earlier on makes the job tougher on the defense.

Taking in Free Agency and the Draft, We have one of the toughest home schedules of any team in the NFL...

Or maybe Bortles ?? Either Aaron Rodgers will hold out, possibly gone or Jordan Love isn't progressing as quickly as they may have liked.

Green Bay Packers reach one-year deal with veteran QB Blake Bortles, source says.

That describes this teams slow start with DA at the helm of the defense. I just wish he could make his half time adjustments sooner.

I'd be happy if DA could make adjustments, in must-win regular season games as well as playoffs...

Not according to an article I just read. I've been reading that upon further reflection that it ain't lookin' so bad right now for the Saints. Personally, I don't like the schedule one bit. I know that makes Roger Godhell happy.

I saw a special on the making of the schedule. It's all done with a bank of computers working through different iterations and graded based upon rule based criteria. Roger Goodell has zero input on the generation of the final schedule. He is presented with what the five person tech team determine is the best version and he simply gives his final approval.

That's okay, everyone has that role and Sean as HC can be the rah~rah guy; just game plan better and minimize the other kids' head-starts...

It's looking like I'll be flying into Nashville that weekend since one of my best friends from growing up lives there. Let's grab a beer Guido!!

If we make it then, for sure! I think I've got her convinced. We can meet up at one of my son's gigs. I'll buy you that first beer. And you can meet both my son and my much more than better half.

:beer: :drink:

Damn Tampa. Damn them to hell. We kicked their butt with an aging QB and I hope that Winston is at least that good his first year with us. If not we'll be drafting higher and looking for our future franchise QB to replace Drew. It's a win/win.

So, we play the Pats locally for me. Tailgate party at my house!

Re: 2021 New Orleans Saints | Schedule
 
We should all get together and tailgate for one game where everyone can make it. Any takers? I'm in and so is my twin brother. I was thinking the last preseason game if it's in the Dome or an easy team to beat early on in the season if we can all get tickets.

I'll organize it and stay on top of anything that we will need. Is anyone else going to training camp. I'll be there at least for one practice if they allow spectators. I've had my shots. This might deserve it's own thread if several people want to get together.

Sorry, but I believe you are mistaken. In 2017 week 14 was a Thursday night game in Atlanta, December 7th. We lost 20-17. We hosted Atlanta two weeks later on Christmas Eve at 1:00 week 16 and won 23-13.

Getting a little fuzzy there, JP.

Will let my friends at Duck Duck Go know they're putting out bad info...

Curious it did that with 2017 and not the other years?!?

Update: Just checked it again, whatever source they were using addressed it...

Atlanta Falcons lead series 53-51-0

NFL Schedule makers make this harder than it needs to be...

Season should open and close with divisional games, alternating and progressing home-away-home then away-home-away...

Conference games should be split following and preceding the division games...

Inter-conference games should be in the middle of the season...

If the league is worried about some of its favored teams traveling cross-country, it could slide the BYE games in for relief...
