The NFL moving this game to 4:25 is more evidence they want Brees in the SB

Like seriously, why?! What on earth could other reasons be for randomly out of the blue moving this game to an early evening one? NFL rarely moves time slots for games this early in the season, usually it happens weeks 14-16, but now?!

You might be asking what on earth this has to do with Brees? It’s simple, which would be easier for us? Playing this game early during the afternoon and sunshine, or playing this game where it will be pitch dark by half time in a freezing Lambeu field?! 

Us and the Packers aren’t division rivals, we aren’t tied for the same record or anything, there is no interesting story line for this game at all, why?! WHY?!?

Maybe the NFL assumes people want to see MVP candidate running back CMC against a Packers run defense that is prone to giving up big plays.  Maybe they also assume that people want to see two teams who are still in the playoffs race square off against each other.

Look at the games this week. The only one even arguably with more national appeal is Cowboys-Vikings which is already the Sunday night game. I'm also not sure this game is as impactful to the Saints in the way you are implying. I doubt they're too worried about us with a 2 game lead, better division record and 2 games of Brees vs Allen left on the schedule. You could easily argue that us beating GB is better for them because it gives them an easier path to a first round bye.

      Might as well declare this front office regime dead if that's the case.  There is no reason that should happen.

      Well unfortunately nothing to us. But he has been giving to the rest of the league. He's been so bad he was getting opposing defenders all kinds of accolades and salary increases. Now though he's taking back. You can't lose to a Bryce Young led offense and not expect swift ramifications ya know?

      Updated 2025 draft order

      Full disclosure I responded to this before fully reading the whole post. As if I had, I’d have laughed at you saying you haven’t seen a full route tree from him, as that’s EXACTLY what he has in his bag.  That right there just shows you haven’t watched him at all outside of the downfield highlight reel plays.  He already runs a full NFL level route tree, at all 3 levels.  As I’ve said numerous times before, XL is the big bodied possession guy, while T-Mac would be the true outside #1 who can do it all and a perfect compliment to XL.   Want to draft someone else all you want, that’s totally fair.  But don’t try and say he’s just a big bodied WR who lacks quickness and can’t run a full route tree, as it’s just the furthest thing from the truth.     And it’s okay, after you watch some more clips, you can admit that you were wrong and I’m not showing my own bias towards him.  It’s not like I’m advocating for someone who should be a late 1st rounder or even a mid 1st round pick, this is someone who’s been mocked as high as #2 by a lot of experts lately. The kid is a stud and he has every tool in his bag that you’d want an outside #1 to have.
