Getting way too optimistic after Saints' win at Carolina

As the New Orleans Saints prepare to play the Miami Dolphins in NFL Week 13, looking for just their third win of the season, they will play out the string of the season looking for reasons to hope in the future. Start with quarterback Tyler Shough, who has shown some promise in his three starts. But the play-calling from supposed offensive guru Kellen Moore has been a struggle, especially in the red zone. Can it get any better? Our Saints Insiders discuss the various problems (some Moore's fault, some not) and solutions that could be found this season and other areas that will need to be fixed in the offseason. #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nflweek13 #whodat #whodatnation #finsup #miamidolphins #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints are 2-9, and their kicker certainly isn't their biggest problem. But it is the latest one. In this episode, our Saints Insiders discuss why the team had to make the move it didn't want to make with Blake Grupe, why on earth they brought in Justin Tucker for a tryout and what to expect from Cade York. Also, we'll break down the Brandin Cooks release and what Alvin Kamara's future might hold. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #football #nfl #nflweek13 #nflthanksgiving

The New Orleans Saints return home for the first time in a month to face their hated rival Atlanta Falcons.

Our Saints Insiders discuss, analyze and offer their predictions. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek12 #falcons #riseup #football #fantasyfootball #footballpicks

The New Orleans Saints hit their bye week at 2-8, among the worst teams in the NFL. But how disappointing has this 2025 season actually been? Our Saints Insiders hand out grades for the team, from offense and defense to the coaching staff, rookies and even the front office. How harsh will we be? And is there reason to hope for the future, starting with the final seven games? We'll break it all down in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek11 #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints won a game Sunday, and our Saints Insider crew is feeling good about it. Specifically, our experts laud the performance of rookie quarterback Tyler Shough and the New Orleans defense, both of which give them reason to hope for the Saints to finish strong in 2025 against a laughably easy schedule. There are a few doses of reality, too, but there's no denying the long-term outlook for the Saints looks a lot better than it did just a week ago. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek11 #nflquarterbacks #football #fantasyfootball

In the middle of a losing season, the New Orleans Saints turn to rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to look for a spark both for their current offense and the future of their franchise. The trouble is he'll face one of the NFL's best teams (and pass rushes) in the Los Angeles Rams in a Week 9 clash. Our Saints Insiders break down the matchup, offer what a successful debut would look like for Shough and offer our keys to the game and predictions, both for the final score and what the rookie QB will look like in his starting debut. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek9 #larams #ramshouse #football #footballbetting #fantasyfootball

We also take a look at the NFL trade deadline, what the Saints might do and how that will affect Shough's progress and the team's evaluation of their new starter. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek9 #nflquarterbacks #nfltradedeadline #nfltrades #fantasyfootball #football
