Ep. 159 | SAINTS vs. Panthers PREVIEW- Plus, can the LOCKS make it two in a row??

A Thanksgiving Day Preview Pod - Is it time to eat for the Saints?? Or will it be scraps again? We get into our picks for the Saints holiday trip down to MIA. Go take that walk with your cousin and tune in! WHO DAT?!

*Collective yell in frustration from the top row of the terrace* Out of all the games, especially the home games, we wanted to down the birds in the DOME. We wanted to FOUGH up the falcons, but instead we GOT foughed. We recap the disappointment in this one, do our best to hand out “players of the game” and overall just lament what we saw on the field Sunday as we say GOOD RIDDANCE to the L we took against the shitbirds.

Our favorite time of year: falcons HATE WEEK! "Fough" (and fuck) the falcons! We preview the first matchup of the year for the Saints vs. the team from atL, so we break down what we can expect from this one. Falcons come in hobbled, but as we all agree, this game is never short of surprises and just weird happenings that don't make sense. Obviously, we're looking for our guys to be on the winning end of that. We each give our picks, players of the game, and Corey brings it with his LOCK! Can he get back in the win column this week?? Plus, we go on a slight tangent about the state of the NFC South in general, starting with our observations of how the falcons come in looking and having just played another division rival last game. Definitely a good one coming off the bye week. TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!#28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

"JUST" like we predicted...the Saints marched right into Carolina and DOMINATED the Panthers behind incredible QB play from their rookie Tyler Shough! Obviously....sometimes it's nice to be wrong, and that was definitely the case after Sunday. Before the game, we thought our defense would be gashed by Rico Dowdle (54 yds, 2.9 ypc); and we thought Shough would definitely struggle against a stout Panthers D (282 yds, 2 td, 0 int). Like we said, nice to be wrong sometimes. We go full-in on all the highlights and encouraging signs. Do we still want to see more out of...Moore? AND does Shough's performance on Sunday give us reason to re-think the 1st Round QB draft strategy - or - was it "just one game" and we need to see more before we abandon the "draft a QB first" mentality? As usual, opinions differ, and you're in for a solid ep. TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!#28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

After an abysmal loss, our Saints take the “show” on the road to the surprisingly 5-4 Carolina Panthers. Will it be more of the same struggles or can the Saints pull out a W? We each have our picks in this one. Also, in true 28-3 Pod fashion, we veered off into a debate: As a whole, are the Saints “competitive” this season, despite our record?? PLUS, COREY’S LOCKS! We’re going for dos!! One win down, trying to pull off a streak! TUNE IN to see if you think this one hits.

Just when we think the season can’t get much worse, our Saints drop to 1-8 with an abysmal showing in L.A. Sixteen minutes time of possession doesn’t happen without a COMPLETE team effort in the wrong direction. We get into everything that we think went wrong and what (if anything) can be done to turn it around. Plus, we each weigh in on Tyler Shough’s first start. One of us was…not impressed,..ALSO…a LOCK HITS!! Victory speech? More to come? TUNE IN to find out!

Do not adjust your phone settings if you're confused by the sub-20 minute length of this episode. We're rolling out a new and improved format for our game preview episodes. So, in this one, we roll right into our picks for offensive and defensive players of the game and our overall game picks + scores. BUT, of course, one thing that hasn't changed with these preview episodes is COREY'S LOCKS. We say it every week, but is THIS the week he can ACTUALLY hit one of these and rid himself of at least one of those Labubus on his chain?? TUNE IN to find out!

A collab a long time in the making. This week, we've teamed up with co-hosts of the DOME PATROL Podcast (Jason Montegut) and The Saints City and Me Podcast (Dan Harper) to rehash the bucs game, commiserate in the Saints current woes, talk Shough being QB1, and just BS in general, including Dan and his fellow brits recent journey across the Atlantic from the UK to catch our Saints in the DOME, and also some more enjoyable things they've done around town. This was a fun one - catching up, talking Saints (and of course dishing out some shots) with a couple of old friends, who happen to co-host pods of their own. TUNE IN!

First, whatever Baker…. Now, moving on.It’s been a while since our Boys in Black & Gold have been 1-6. Kinda reminds us of old times…But, we know what this year is, so question is: Will we see our Saints bounce back and at least perform better this week than last? Obviously, we want the W, but an upset/win would be lagniappe at this point. We get into what we want to see in this one and what we think we’ll actually see.The McCoy injury, for one, is scary - add Vita Vea literally on top of that injured spot, and man, can already feel the involuntary cringe. BUT, they’re banged up too, right??EITHER WAY, we have some young guns that can build on promising starts, and we get a chance to see if Rattler can answer the bell or if we get closer to Shough-ing oysters.Also, of course, Corey has a LOCK that the guys actually feel good about. (Yes, we have said that before…) We’ve asked it every week now it seems like, but…”COULD THIS BE THE WEEK?!” (Also, controversy brews over the parameters of his Labubu requirements. Serious stuff).TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!#28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NFL #NOLA #Saints #WhoDat #WhoDatNation

We know, we know "DA Revenge Game"...Welp, he got it. His defense made the Saints offense look pretty inept, and seemingly exposed what happens when Rattler gets more aggressive with his passing decisions. But, it was not without "some" positives - two solid drives to close out first and open second half - more strong play from some rooks; but...the positives just about ended there. We all agree that Rattler's performance against the Bucs coming into the dome will tell us a lot about his ability to bounce back and, more than likely, a lot about how much longer he'll get the nod at QB1.ALSO, with the Nov. 4th trade deadline looming, we get into guys who we think are "likely" candidates to get moved by LooMISS at the deadline, who's on the "bubble," and who do we think we "should" trade in order to get value while we still can. Some interesting thoughts on this one. TUNE IN!
