Saintsaholics Anonymous: A New Orleans Saints Podcast

One of our “favorite” times of year, the annual NFL Schedule release. How do we think the saints were treated in the lineup of games for 2026? We debate whether we think it’s favorable or whether we think we got screwed in certain spots (per usual). Do we think the timing of the games affects the win/loss total we had based on opponents alone? Also, we talk about the news coming out of rookie mini...

Only time and results on the field will tell, but did the Kellen Moore era Saints put together ANOTHER solid draft class?? We debate our feelings on that. Definitely has that "feel" to it, especially taking into account the veteran edge added through the draft-day trade, but did we get a little too "eager" drafting some of our guys where we did? Biggest question will remain: Did we make the right...

Tired of listening to all those "insiders" tell you what "they know" or "are hearing" about who's picking who? Yeah, us too. "Lying Season" is in full swing. No one knows anything. So, do yourself a favor. Listen to US - not them - because we will readily tell you we have ZERO inside info on who's going where. BUT we have the TAKES that will keep you coming back for more, arguments with heat that...

It's every Saintsaholic's "most wonderful time" of the offseason - MOCK DRAFT SZN! Are there more mock drafts floating around this time of year than a lifetime supply of Dennis Allen's hair dye or Derek Carr's eyelliner? Sure. BUT, are their any like ours??? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Either way, we'd be remiss not to toss our hat into the ring of your (now daily) fill of mock drafts. FULL DISCLAIMER: This o...

The Saints signing of Travis E'tienne reminded us of the wealth of quality NFL players, both past and present, from our home state of Louisiana. It also got us thinking how many stars and NFL Hall of Famers, including many from New Orleans, reached their heights for other teams. This begged the question: What players from Louisiana could have most helped the Saints if they had played for us instea...

“Slow” week since our last ep in Saints free agency, but we go a little further in depth into last week’s signings and who/what positions we see as top needs remaining. Also, of course we hit a VERY worthwhile tangent and talk new JERSEY NUMBERS with all the signings/departures plus incoming draft picks (whoever it may be). Don’t get it twisted: Jersey numbers as a whole IS an important topic. At...

Well, the Saints certainly wasted ZERO time getting to work during the "legal tampering" period of this year's Free Agency period, signing bona fide NFL starters and impact players at HUGE positions of need. We also managed some really solid "under the radar" signings. Of course, the good news comes with an absolute dagger to the Saints fans' collective heart in apparently deciding not to re-sign...

The NFL offseason marches on as the combine is officially in the books and the Free Agent “Tampering” period is only days away. So, naturally we dive deep into what we thought the results from the combine. Did anyone raise their stock for us? Any new red flags that weren’t there before? And does anything we saw change our wish lists or #DraftCrush for pick No. 8? ALSO, big news (allegedly) coming...

Without fail this week has snuck up on us once again. It is NFL COMBINE week aka every dude's favorite (and only?) week to deliberately turn on the TV to watch other dudes run around in their underwear (or so the story goes). But in all seriousness, we talk about some of the main guys we have our eye on this week and what results have surprised us already. We also debate the actual significance of...

It’s one of our patented and BEST episode formats - one that puts a Saints player of our choosing through THE test of how he holds up, in terms of ranking at his position, versus the rest of his counterparts in the NFL. And, NOW, the man who has earned a shot to be put through this trial is none other than our brand new QB1, quickly emerging fan-favorite of Saints and NFL fans alike: TYLER SHOUGH!...

As we embark on a new Saints season, we are embarking on a new journey ourselves. Your favorite Saints Podcast now has a NEW name: the Saintsaholics Anonymous Podcast. Fret not, for we will still take every opportunity to reference 28 to 3 and all possible ways the falcons suck, but for reasons stated in this episode, we're going in a new direction with the name and the brand. It's one that every...

Enjoy this Part TWO of our Review of the Preview - This is definitely the more entertaining one, with our Season-long HOT TAKES, Fearless Predictions, and Corey's SEASON-LONG LOCK, which he was shockingly spot-on about, but "almost"? TUNE IN for one of our most enjoyable eps of the year. WHO DAT?!

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, a...

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 o...

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??? WHO DAT?! #28to3 #28to3Podcast #NeverForget #NewOrleans #NewOrleansSaints #NF...

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 increas...

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...

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...

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 on...

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...

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 eithe...

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...

We recap the Saints trip to Miami. Talk about how awful that first half was but making things interesting in the end. What do we think of Shough’s performance? Deep dive loading… TUNE IN! WHO DAT?!

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 too...
