Ep. 174 - SEASON RECAP Part ONE - A Before and After Look at the Offense and Defense/Position groups

It's one of our favorite episodes of the year, our SEASON RECAP and our "Review of the Preview". This is PART ONE of a two part series, in which we look back on what we had to say about the offense and defense BEFORE the season - in our Season Preview Ep - and now, give our takes on how close or how far off we were after the dust has settled on the year. Definitely a worthwhile watch and listen, as naturally, some of our takes were spot on while others were...not so much. TUNE IN and enjoy this Part One of our Season Recap/Review of the Preview. #28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #SaintsGameday #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

In this one, we briefly recap our Saints last game of the year. Hardest thing about it was we know Shough wanted to get at least one against the falcons this year, especially in a game that we really did some good things, and bested the other team in a lot of key statistical categories. BUT...this last game simply closed one chapter so an even greater one can begin! Now that the dust has settled on 2025, we know that we will go into the offseason armed with the EIGTH pick in the draft and have a much easier strength of schedule to look forward to than all but one other team in the league. Optimism abounds, so we briefly get into some of that (besides sumbullshit in atlanta...). BUT, our big "Season Recap" episode isn't dropping just yet, so consider this one a precursor to what should be an epic "season finale" episode. Until then, this one will hold you over just fine.

It's the FINAL Corey's LOCKS of the season, in true 28 TO 3 / FOUGH the Falcoins fashion, on falcons HATE WEEK.Trust, this one does NOT disappoint. Now, if you're thinking we'll give you the lock bets/prediction in a podcast description...lol. Nope. You have to TUNE IN and listen for yourself and DECIDE....ARE YOU IN???

Saints keep Shough'ing ROLLING! FOUR wins in-a-row! STREAKING!! The Saints twice faced a ten point deficit and just kept pressing the issue on their way to an impressive win. We all agree this was a total team victory, but the second half performance of Tyler Shough definitely led the way. We get into why this performance from Shough (compared to last week's) especially showed a reason for increased optimism that we really "just might" "have our guy" for years to come. We get into that and whole lot more in this one. TUNE IN!

Definitely didn't think we'd ever utter this phrase early in this season, but the Saints have just completed a THREE game win streak by taking down the Jets in the Dome Season Finale. With the running game injured as hell, Kellen put the game on Shough's shoulders and he delivered. We get into the performance from the offense, some actual debate in awarding the players of the game, including great defensive performances all around. We have basically every angle covered for this time of the year in this episode. TUNE IN!

Last home game of the year for our Saints - can we make it worth it? Do we play it conservative against a lesser opponent, or do we open things up and try to put on a fireworks show for the home fans in the last game? We give our predictions on that as well as players of the game, PLUS, as special holiday edition of COREY'S LOCKS! Three games left to go, does he go conservative or does he "GO BIG OR GO HOME"? Two leg parlay? Three? FOUR LEG? TUNE IN to find out! WHO DAT?!#28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #SaintsGameday #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

Another week, another NFC South division leader unseated by our Saints. The first win streak of the season came in dramatic fashion as Irishman Kicker CHARLIE SMYTH drilled the game winner to finish off the team's 4th quarter heroics, lead by some clutch defensive stops AND, obviously, by rookie QB1 Tyler Shough and the offense. It truly seems like ages ago that a win in the dome felt like this one. Corey and Max were in attendance to bring you the full report and breakdown of the win. Nick wasn't able to be there and will also be sitting out this week's recap, but Max and Corey can't help but wonder (and discuss) whether Sunday's performance will cause the undecideds to hop on the Shough bus...We get into all the good from the Saints clutch victory and also discuss implications our recent success has on the draft and what that means for what players/positions the Saints should be targeting this spring. TUNE IN and ENJOY as we relish in TWO Saints victories in-a-row. WHO DAT?!#28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #SaintsGameday #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

Can the Saints keep the winning ways going as they come back to the DOME after two games on the road? They got a big win against the Panthers last time they swapped paint against em - can they do it again? We make our calls on that and hand out our predictions for players of the game. PLUS corey is going for FOUR Locks in a row. Truly an unbelievable feat considering how his year started. TUNE IN to see if he can keep the juju going and to see how we predict this Panthers matchup will shake out.

Our Saints went into Tampa and literally weathered the storm to come away with a tough team victory against a division opponent. SOLID defense kept us in it, and our rookie QB1 , TYLER SHOUGH, showed off his WHEELS running for two scores plus making some solid throws along the way. While the weather may have slowed down some of Tampa's offensive weapons, the defense definitely took advantage either way, coming up with some KEY stops when it mattered the most. At this point, we're likely out of the running for a draft pick high enough to draft a top QB, so draft position be damned - the wins feel great! Especially against a division rival, and especially when our rookie QB keeps the offense rolling. TUNE IN for a fun episode.

Saints head to Tampa to take on Baker and the Bucs. Do we think we can put up more of a fight this time than we did in the dome? It’s another game for Shough to try to prove to the Saints that they don’t need to draft a QB in Round 1. Can he keep the positive momentum going and have a game that looks more like last week’s second half than first half? We get into all of it and have your picks, plus LOCKS!! TUNE IN!
