Saints vs. Colts (1 Viewer)

If Green Bay wins the Super Bowl we will open against them for our 3rd Opening Thusday night game in 5 years. Bank it!
 
Don't we get green bay at home next year based on records? Atlanta will have to play them in gb since they won the division?!
I'm also thinking Indy would be great for the Halloween Monday nighter!

We get Green Bay in Green Bay. A great road trip no matter the date!
 
I'm betting we open on the road. We've been home for the opener the last three years, correct? Vikings, Lions, Bucs?
 
I'm not scared of any team, but I don't really care for the prospect of being the opponent of the SB winning team on opening night. Even a very good team like the Saints may not be able to overcome all the hype and energy that will be in Lambeau field, should the Packers open as SB winners - there's a strong possibility of 0-1 there - for any opponent. Just look at the record since 2000 - the SB winning team is a perfect 11-0 on opening night the next season:

Opening Night for SB Winners
2000 - Rams beat Broncos
2001 - Ravens beat Bears
2002 - Pats beat Steelers
2003 - Bucs beat Eagles
2004 - Pats beat Colts (this is when the the Thursday Night opener began)
2005 - Pats beat Raiders
2006 - Steelers beat Dolphins
2007 - :covri:
2008 - Giants beat Redskins
2009 - Steelers beat Titans
2010 - :rock:

No thanks. Further, how about a regular 12 noon start to open the season, and hopefully a schedule with a few prime time games, but not all the Thursdays and such. I really do think the schedule took a toll on the Saints, in addtion to the extended season that you have when you go to the SB, in addition to all of the continuous fan fare leading up to the 2010 season.

I would love this, if for no other reason because it was guarantee that we wouldn't have to play there in December. What I think is more likely, though, is that the NFL gives us a Monday night game in Green Bay in mid-December. Seems to have been the trend the last few years, to give us games up north in December.
