Opinion The NFL should flex the Saints out of Monday Night Football December 23rd….. (1 Viewer)

[MarylandWHODAT]

This will be an extremely unpopular opinion but I firmly believe that the NFL needs to flex the Saints/Packers Monday Night game with the Texans/Chiefs game on December 23rd.

Hear me out.

Yes, it is a big deal to be on Monday Night Football. I get the advertising and the money aspect of it. I believe in Darren Rizzi and think that this team absolutely fights for him but let’s face reality. The Saints are going to get curb stomped on national television. Again. The Saints, while having some heart and fight, are not a good team. They are bad. Yes, they are that bad. The Packers are good, very good in fact and fighting for playoff positioning. It is outside and cold. All in the Packers favor. I don’t think anyone here or in the general football world sees the Saints having a snowball’s chance in hell of keeping this game close, let alone winning this game. The Texans/Chiefs? That will be a good game. I just see this as a 52-17 drubbing of the Saints.

Clown, flame, laugh, disagree away but I really do not see the value of having our team embarrassed on national TV. Let them get beat on a local TV on a Sunday afternoon level and be a byline on ESPN.com.

The world doesn't need more Chiefs stand alone games.

 

[Saintstigerking]

A good arse kickin on national tv can be motivating for management and owners sometimes.

 

[jmattw02]

I disagree. I've already booked flights, hotel, and game tickets. This game better happen on the 23rd

 

[BreesHOF2024]

I'm hoping it happens for jmattw02 but I see this as an obvious candidate for a flex.

I thought the exact same thing. However, am I correct that it would have had to happen already?

I think I read that the League has to make the change 12 days before the game.

Correct. 12 days minimum notice.

No more taylor swift

 

[AARPSaint]

I understand the sentiment, but I don’t think it will be that bad. The Saints could actually play decently in that environment IF there aren’t any more OL and RB injuries.

Can't agree for selfish reason. It will likely the last game this year I can watch. Since I now live in the New England area.

 

[3ParStillDriver]

Na.

One of two things are going to happen. Its either going to be a great game, or the saints will get humiliated on national TV, forcing the front office to not "Just keep chopping wood".

Either way, its a win for us.

I thought you were going in the direction of the Texans/Chiefs being a prime matchup and it would also take us out of a night game in a frigid stadium.

I'm not but that they are a bad team. Not good enough to overcome the plentiful key injuries they've endured, but they are not bad. A rout is possible, but I kinda expected one against the Rams and it's was very winnable. And the first two games were somewhat of an anomaly they did show that this team is not bad, even though they were against less-than-stellar teams.

It really screws over all the people who spent their money to travel to the game

Detroit has more injuries than the Saints, but they dont whine about it. And, I guess their personnel department knows how to find replacements.
