I’m ready for the HOF game this week. Last season seemed bleak at this time so I’m glad preseason is ready to roll.
Great song Gidi.........Whats Up and Thanks for the Video. It's looking like I will NOT be able to make it too Seattle for week # 1 Titans vs the Seahawks. The Border will remain closed till first week of September and the Virus is escalating once again. The sad thing the numbers are coming from People that are NOT vaccinated on BOTH sides of the Border. "Stupid is what Stupid does" Some day I will get to Seattle or Ocean Side and buy you a Beer.
Saints and Packers will play in Jacksonville in Week One Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis said on Wednesday that no location for the team’s Week One home game against the Packers has been finalized, but it appears that may be the case soon. The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that the Saints and Packers will play the game at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville on Sunday, September 12 at 4:25 p.m. ET. The Jaguars will be playing in Houston earlier in the day. The Saints decamped to Dallas ahead of Hurricane Ida’s landfall last weekend and do not know when relief and repair work will have advanced to the point that they will be able to get back home. The team will be practicing at Texas Christian University while in Texas and there were suggestions the team would play at AT&T Stadium with the Cowboys out of town, but that doesn’t appear to be happening because of a Los Bukis concert scheduled for the stadium later in the week. Week Four is the next Saints home game after the opener, so there’s some time to go before there will have to be a call on the venue for that contest. UPDATE 12:18 p.m. ET: The NFL officially announced that the game will move to Jacksonville.
NFL plans a Monday night playoff game The NFL is planning to alter its playoff schedule, with a Monday night game added to the mix. Wild card weekend is likely to have two Saturday games, three Sunday games and a Monday night game, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Last year the NFL expanded the playoffs to seven teams in each conference, which resulted in the number of wild card games increasing from four to six. At the time, that meant three Saturday games and three Sunday games. This season, the schedule is shifting. A key difference is that last year the College Football Playoff Championship Game was on the Monday after wild card weekend, and the NFL wouldn’t schedule a playoff game head-to-head with the college football championship. This year, with the NFL regular season a week longer, the college football national championship game is the day after the final Sunday of the regular season, when there’s no Monday night game scheduled. The team that wins the Monday night wild card game will be at a competitive disadvantage with a short work week before the divisional round. The NFL will surely schedule that team for the Sunday of the divisional round, rather than the Saturday, but the coaches of wild card teams will undoubtedly prefer to avoid the Monday night slot.
