Saintsaholics Anonymous: A New Orleans Saints Podcast

Before we post our official Season Recap Episode, we thought we’d dive into what turned out to be a busy news week for the Saints. We give our thoughts on the firing of Pete Carmichael. We also talk about that gum smacking-what the hell was he on? WTF Loomis press conference. We wrap it up with our thoughts on the Saints OC search. Can we actually get the right guy? LISTEN IN! WHO DAT?!

The Saints 2023 Season has finally come to a close, so this is "technically" our RECAP episode of the last game of the year, a complete drubbing of the Falcons. Thank god we drug them in the end. BUT, just like the Saints waited til the final play to add some excitement by overriding DA in rogue fashion, we tackle so much more than a simple recap episode on the last play, at the goalline, so to sp...

With one game remaining in the regular season, Nick and Max decide to tackle a few controversial questions surrounding the Saints. Is Derek Carr overpaid? Is Chris Olave elite? How would we attack the Saints' impending salary cap crisis? We break it all down for you in this special bonus episode. WHO DAT?!

It's officially Falcons Hate Week again. With a little luck (go Panthers), this one could be for all of the NFC South marbles. Can the Saints keep their positive momentum going? Can Dennis Allen finish the season with a winning record? Can Max get on TV wearing the official 28 to 3 Podcast "Fire Dennis Allen" t-shirt? We get into that and a whole lot more. WHO DAT?!

Just when we thought we were out, the Saints pull us back in. Our Playoff hopes are still alive after this (completely random) dominating performance. We discuss how good this performance was and what it means going forward. With the #FireDennisAllen movement on life support (for now), we decide to make the best of a bad situation and turn our attention to #FalconsHateWeek. Who Dat?!

With our Playoff hopes essentially dashed, will the team continue to fight? Is the end near for the Dennis Allen Era? We break down the longterm ramifications of what this game means for the Saints. The 2023 Saints may be dead in the water but this podcast is justing getting started. LISTEN IN as we continue to "chop wood" and discuss the Saints prospects moving forward. #FireDennisAllen

Well, we had everything in front of us heading into LA vs. the Rams, and...our Saints simply failed to get it done. Now? Yes, as expected, we do NOT control our own destiny. Unfortunately, there is next to nothing good to cover from this last shitkicking our team took on account of LA. Rather, we get into just how bad it was, and what this means for the team going forward. It's the holiday season....

Can the Saints actually do something that's seemed impossible so far this year and string together TWO strong performances? We all agree the Saints will need one, heading across the country to L.A. on a short week for their Thursday Night Football matchup against the Rams. We breakdown the matchup of the Rams passing offense vs. Saints secondary, which we agree seems to be a "strength vs. strength...

Just like we all "expected", the Saints showed out on Sunday with a decisive victory over the New York Football Giants, who came in riding the Tommy Cutlets Devito wave of momentum. For the first time in what seems like a season ago, the Saints played complimentary football, and we get into the plays, and players, of the game that made it happen. Who do we think showed out the most on both offense...

Our Saints enter their THIRD straight home game by welcoming America's favorite new Jersey Boy Tawmmy 'Cutlets' Devito (and his Sopranos extra-looking agent). It's a tale of two vibes coming in. The Saints are coming off of what is described by many as their most disappointing victory, possibly ever; while the Giants come in after a last second victory, riding the Devito wave. Oh - and there's a s...

In any other year a 22 point victory would be a great win, but...as we know all to well at this point, this is not any other year. Whatever side of the Derek Carr fence you stand on, it was obvious that all of the boo's were more than deserved. Plus, at times, even though they allowed only 6 points, even the defense looked somewhat out of sorts, especially allowing over 200 yards on the ground. Th...

This episode is "technically" a Saints vs. Panthers Preview Pod, but...when there's only so much to talk about with the team coming into the Dome and there's so much that's already been said about our consistently broken record of a team this year, you allow yourself to just take the scenic route, stay "off" track, and embrace whatever tangent conversations you find yourself in about the NFL, hypo...

No one can question the amount of fight in the Saints PLAYERS after the way they came back to make a game of it versus the Lions, but the lack of consistency and yet another slow start on defense shines the light right back on the COACHING of this team. It was yet another week of saying "yeah, we saw some good things..." but also saying "we saw some really horrible stuff" as well. Some may say pla...

No rest for the weary. Coming off an awful loss, the Saints come back home to the dome banged up, tattered, and torn to face the best team left in the schedule. Don’t worry though! We breakdown our Saints path to pulling out a victory on Sunday. …and it’s the smallest possible path ever with virtually no room for error that will very likely require perfection…”So, you’re sayin there’s a chance?!”...

There it was, an absolute gem of an opportunity to take firm control of the NFC South - a chance to have been two games up in the standings on the closest team with six games remaining; but, instead, we ended up with a COMPLETE FAILURE to take control. Is this a negative spot to be as a franchise? ABSOLUTELY. Are our takes on this game and the outlook going forward just as negative? You betcha. On...

It's the most wonderful time of the year here at the 28 to 3 Podcast - it's the middle of the first Falcons Hate Week of the year, and we're diving into the preview of what is truly a season defining matchup in Atlanta. As Max points out in this one, there is definitely some animosity shared by us (at least Max and Corey) towards DA for perhaps not instilling as much confidence as in years past he...

Took some time this week before we preview the game against that team we hate the most, and Max, Nick, and Corey each compiled their list of the top ten All-time Saints players. This one was interesting to say the least. While all three lists had many of the same players, one of us (guess who) had a glaring omission that absolutely set off the debate and got argument HEATED. The takes are hot in t...

The struggles for the Saints in Minnesota continue, and even though this past game involved a "comeback" which fell short, damn, the issues from top to bottom for the Saints are as GLARING as ever. Nothing brings out the debate, the anger, and passion more than a terrible loss like this one. This episode is no exception to that as Max, Nick, and Corey have A LOT to get into based on the team's per...

Our Saints are coming off their second straight win, and there's obviously a lot that can be improved upon from the Bears performance; but can the Black and Gold keep the winning momentum going at this most critical juncture. A win before the bye could set them up for a game against the Falcons that could give them the opportunity to put a stranglehold on the Division. Can we do it? Can they flatt...

The Saints got a much needed win to get ABOVE the .500 mark, now sitting at 5-4 and in FIRST PLACE in the NFC South. As always we talk about the good and bad from the game, but we debate whether this is a "win's a win" situation or were there things in this one that raise concern about the team moving forward? Regardless, we are going to enjoy this one, enjoy the fact that we got back over the .50...

We get you ready for the Saints matchup with the Chicago Bears in the DOME. We all agree that this game is huge for the Saints, and despite any struggles the Bears may be going through, is not one to be overlooked. They have multiple opportunities on the table - a) the offense has the opportunity to string together multiple strong performances in a row/show us they can be consistent, b) the team h...

Our Saints went on the road and got a decisive WIN over the Colts in Indy, and our offense came to life, showing the Who Dat Nation what we all believed - or hoped - it could be all offseason and leading up to this juncture in the season. Was this the signal that the Saints offense now "has it together"? - or - Do we still need to see more, or at least need to see the Saints offense do it again be...

We come to you with this recording back where it all started (in a way). Recorded this one in Destin, FL at our annual beach trip where co-hosts Max, Nick, and Corey started really started debating and arguing any take they had basically related to Saints football. Think yelling about "whether Brandin Cooks can high point a ball or would we have been better off with a Kelvin Benjamin?". Listen in...

It's Sunday, and after the last two games, it was unfortunately a relief that it was a Sunday WITHOUT Saints football. Since we hadn't recorded since the Thursday Night Debacle in the Dome, we do provide somewhat of a "Recap" in this one; HOWEVER, given the state of affairs...we get into a whole lot more. We talk about certain individual efforts in the Jags game - yes, Carr, Olave, and the infamou...

No rest for the weary! After what seems like only hours after that gut-wrenching loss in Houston, the Saints take on the Jags on Thursday Night Football, thankfully at least, it's in the DOME. Can they dig deep and show something, even pull out a win in front of the home crowd? We give our answers and predictions on that question - some of which may surprise you. It's seems inevitable that we'll b...
