How many primetime/nationally televised games will the Saints get in 2009? (1 Viewer)

[ChrisKreager]

Next year, the Saints have some games that sound VERY big.

Dallas, New England, and the Jets could be monster games- maybe NBC comes to the Dome for those games.

Also, in light of how tough a division the NFC South is, perhaps some Monday Night games.

What do YOU think?

I think we'll get at least 2. One Monday Night and one Sunday Night. Highly possible though that we get a second Sunday Night NBC game. Especially with the bigger name teams.

Hopefully we get another Monday Night in the dome after the show we put on against Green Bay.

Because our offense is so fun to watch (when it's clicking), we will get at least 2-4, a mixture of Monday night, Sunday night, and/or Thursday night on NFLN. There are some great games on the schedule for sure.

I'd say that sounds about right.

I think that the Dallas game will be on prime time. I have no doubts about that. If Favre returns, the Jets game is also a possibility.

I can also see one of the Atlanta games on prime time now that they're a good team again.

None I hope. I don't like it when my Sunday routine is disturbed...

Home against Dallas and New England, MNF
@ Atlanta, SNF
@ Philadelphia, late in the season, NFLN

I would love to have two more monday night games in NO. There is nothing better than sitting in the dome on monday night. Problem is there is too much time to prematurely celebrate. The 2nd half is always a blurr.

With the way the Saints had exciting games this year in primetime, I would be surprised if the Saints would not get a few primetime games in 2009. I would believe the Cowboys, Falcons, Giants and Patriots or Jets would make for some good primetime games.

I hope the NFL pulls the plug on the Lions playing on Thanksgiving. No one wants to sit at home on a Thanksgiving and watch the Lions get their butts kicked on TV.

I Just Pray We Don't Have Any More Thursday Games In The Future And Never Have To Go To Toronto.

I want 16 Sunday afternoon games.

No MNF at home - it's just a big pain in the neck to attend those games.

 

[rhickman712]

I travel 3 hours to the games and 3 hours back for all the Sunday noon games. The MNF games are nice cause its a great excuse to stay the night.

I concur. With the way the NFC South as a whole played this year, it is likely we will see divisional games in prime time. You know, how you always see the NFC East in prime time. There were 5 NFC East divisonal matchups in prime time this year. I expect to see around that number for the NFC South next year.

What do YOU think?

No idea. The TV schedule doesn't come out for some time. Heck, this season is not even over yet as far as the networks are concerned.
