Off topic, it's great to open on Thursday night to kick off the season (even better if you win,) but there's something *about* a normal Sunday afternoon football game. No glamor, no pageantry, just getting back to work. (And no I don't think we lost "because of pageantry..." it's just nice when it's football again not glitz.)

Glad to be back in the forum. Let's have a good game. I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised by the defense today.

Langi could be good answer policing Kamara/Ingram on the outside runs..

My freaking wife stole my son for the day. House is going to be dead.

"But you said it was ok...." No I didn't. WTF?

There is a lot of experience missing on the field. This is especially so if you factor in retirement (Ninko), FA losses (Long, Bennett), and injuries (more experienced players on there than usual).

Hoping the extra few days between the opener and today were helpful in getting younger/newer players up to speed.

Did he do something to get grounded for four games?

Just a reminder to everyone:

Rather than asking "can someone give me a link to stream the game"?

All you have to do is type in to google the words 'reddit nfl streams'. Those links will appear at kickoff.

Please do not post links here on this thread... thanks.

Howe: 5 things to watch in Patriots vs. Saints

The Saints don’t exactly have a great defense like the Chiefs. Heck, they just allowed Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford to be named NFC Offensive Player of the Week. So the Patriots’ offensive coming-out party was on hold for a week, but it should absolutely happen today in the Big Easy.

. . .

More than anything, the Patriots have to shore up their communication issues, which came to roost on Tyreek Hill’s 75-yard touchdown catch as the most obvious example. Aside from that, Brees will feast on matchup advantages, and the Pats’ second linebacker will be in the spotlight, whether it’s David Harris, Elandon Roberts or safety Jordan Richards. Everything from Week 1 was fixable for the Pats defense, but it’s never fun to have to fix things on the fly with Brees waiting.​

Looks like Chung will be the starting punt returner based on warmups. Hogan and Cooks to back up.

Please fair catch everything!!!!

Heavy Patriots fan presence for warmups produces a hard-to-miss cheer as Tom Brady takes the field. Patriots fans all over New Orleans.

This is a resounding thought around Pats media/observers.
