Saintsaholics Anonymous: A New Orleans Saints Podcast

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...

"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 Pa...

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 do...

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,.. A...

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 s...

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...

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 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 t...

The Saints head to Chi-town to face their old coach. Some might call it a “revenge game” for DA, but it should really be one for the Saints to get him back for the two years of pain he inflicted upon us as HC. Also, Rattler gets his first chance to duel it out against the guy who took his job at OU. Will our QB1 show out more due to added motivation?? We break down whether we can keep up to even t...

Another one-score loss in the books against a decent opponent, and similar to the other ones, this one had some positives that can be taken away but also exposed some glaring weaknesses in this roster.. We all agree this was Spencer Rattler's best game yet, as he continues to show improvement. Also, Kellen Moore appeared to do all he could from a play-calling perspective, but it was certain key sk...

Can our Saints make it TWO in a row? We’re back in studio to preview the Saints matchup with the Patriots in the dome. A couple of hot takes in this one and as always a couple of tangents. Do we have what it takes to get it done? ALSO, does Corey have what it takes to FINALLY hit on a LOCK?! TUNE IN to find out! WHO DAT?!

Took five games, but WE GOT ONE! Was great to see Kellen Moore get his first win as an NFL head coach, see Rattler get the monkey off his back/end the winless streak as a starter, and simply see the home crowd have something to cheer about. Now…did the Giants help us out a decent bit with a multitude of mistakes? Sure, but at the end of the day, the Saints capitalized when they needed to. We go th...

Our Saints are back in the Dome on Sunday, but we have made our annual fall beach trip to Destin, FL but that didn't stop us from dropping our PREVIEW EP this week. Now...no promises that everything in this one is as "on point" or that there aren't extra tangents given the circumstances/vibes, BUT we still bring the heat in this one. Definitely entertaining and worth the listen. Plus...a different...

By far the best thing from Sunday's bout against the Bills (at least from a loss) was that the Saints squarely put their performance against Seattle in the rearview - or, at least, successfully avoided a repeat terrible performance. We all agree there were definitely positives to take from this one, i.e. a serious/legitimate looking rushing attack, total reduction in bonehead/presnap penalties, an...

No rest for the weary. Coming off one of the worst losses in recent memory, the Saints travel to the land of the Bills Mafia to take on what could be the best team in the league this week. Given the team's current makeup/performance thus far, unfortunately, we are far from expecting a win, BUT can the team show improvement from last week? We break down the test the Saints will be facing and what w...

Man. We knew we were in "rebuild" mode, but still didn't think we'd see it look that bad this year. Hard to describe the Saints loss in Seattle as anything other than embarrassing. If it could go wrong, it did go wrong. Naturally, this led us to some heated discussion and debate, plus a lot of venting about some of the glaring things that went wrong in this one. We agree that Rattler in no way los...

The Saints first road trip of the season is a long one as they head up to the Pacific Northwest (Kaden Ellis Country!) to take on the Seahawks in Seattle. Coach Moore said earlier this week that he loves road games because they bring the team together, so we'll see if that's the case. Corey and Max break this one down, Nick had to sit this one out due to some work trip obligations, but per usual,...

Two straight home games for the Saints to open the Kellen Moore era and it's now two straight one score losses, ending on potential game-winning drives for the Saints. In the not-too-distant past, this would have had the whole fan-base up in arms; but, since it's the first two games for a first year head coach and coaching staff, this is "to be expected", right?? We all agree the leash should be r...

A second straight home game for the Saints to begin the season, question is: can they actually pull out a W?? The niners will come into the dome hobbled with key losses to their QB1 and Kittle at TE, so we agree, this suddenly presents a good a chance as any the Saints will have at victory this season. We also hand out our Offensive/Defensive MVP predictions and final score predictions. PLUS for C...

Not many expected the Saints to win their season opener, even with it being in the DOME and spruced up by the gold jerseys and gold endzones, BUT...it would be safe to argue the team looked pretty competitive even in a losing effort - or, at least, more competitive than many thought they'd look. Question is, do we agree? Just like any loss, there was plenty in this one we can pick at or take issue...

It's officially time for GAME ONE of the Kellen Moore Era as the Cardinals come into the DOME to take on our Saints. We each give our break down of what we can expect in this one, plus make our picks for Winner/Loser/Score plus Offensive and Defensive MVP. - AND - in this one, it's the return of COREY'S LOCKS! A NEW and IMPROVED set of Locks this year, as the Locks will be based off available bett...

In Part One of our Saints Season Preview, we gave yall the breakdowns but in Part TWO we take the gloves off! We're comin' in HOT with our FEARLESS Predictions, our HOT TAKES...AND...our first ever...Corey's LOCK OF THE SEASON! Brought to you by our "Fearless" Sponsor: the Norton Leatherman Spine Center of Louisville, Kentucky and Dr. PAUL CELESTRE! You'll absolutely want to listen to the ENTIRE e...

It's that time of year again, for the 28 to 3 Podacast SEASON PREVIEW! In this "Part One" of our Season Preview, we go in depth previewing every position group on the roster and what we expect out of each of them - *note tangents INCLUDED - (maybe re LOOMIS). Importantly though, after Nick's rant about Mickey, we give letter grades for each position group - some predictable - some constituting hot...

We got another preseason game in the books, but do we have more or less clarity as to who will take the reins as QB1 for the Saints come Week 1 of the regular season? We dive deep into our breakdown/comparison of the QB's and what route we think the Saints should take moving forward. Either way, there were obvious issues with the "first string" offensive line we rolled out against the Jags, grante...

Well, the first "game" of the Kellen Moore Era is officially in the books - even if it is just preseason. There was definitely a lot to take away from this one. First game-action against another opponent and action that we could see for ourselves outside of reports we get from training camp practices and scrimmages. Of course, the QB COMPETITION is the main topic of discussion, and we absolutely d...
