Saintsaholics Anonymous: A New Orleans Saints Podcast

JUST when we thought that "maybe" we had something to build from on offense after the beatdown of the Patriots, the Saints same offensive woes from earlier games reared their ugly head again against the Texans. Whatever good vibes we let creep in after the Pats game are now swiftly erased. We do the dirty work in this episode of recapping what was an awful loss, all around. We all agree that not m...

Coming off a MUCH needed win in Foxborough, the Saints travel down I-10, for a much closer-to-home "away" game, to take on the Houston Texans. We aren't fooled by the "rookie" moniker placed on C.J. Stroud. That man is playing like a VET right, so should the Saints prep for him as such? We dive right into what we think we need to see and give our PREDICTIONS for this Week 6 matchup against the tea...

Damn it feels nice to get a win after a ROUGH week! We recap the Saints THIRTY-FOUR point SHUTOUT over the Pats. We’re definitely pumped, but…still not sure if we actually “fixed” the issues on offense. We get into that, but we also get into whether we thought Carmichael actually heeded advice of the critics, or…did he just do his job this week? We also veer into a couple fun random tangents this...

Jono Barnes joins the pod in this bonus episode in what was our wildest one yet and our longest pod episode yet. Sure, it went just over two hours but it flew by. You'll want to listen to the end for Jono's rallying cry to the Saints as they take the field on Sunday against the Pats. COACH JONO LETS EM KNOW! We vent, we analyze, we debate, we cover it all in this one. Hell, we even get into a litt...

It's prove it time for the Saints offense after last week's utter debacle, and...we can't say that we're feeling all that great about heading into Foxboro to take on the Pats after what we saw in the Dome on Sunday. Wish it wasn't the case, but after four games, we just don't see any objective basis from which we can say "yeah, it's gonna be fine..." We dive deep into that wonderful feeling in thi...

HEY WE GOT SOME AIR-TIME WITH DARTH SAINT ON TV! ...And that's about the ONLY thing good that we took from this one. Just when we thought it couldn't get much worse after the last 8 minutes of the Packers game, the Saints prove us wrong...again. The Who Dat Nation, Saints Twitter and Media are in complete shambles after this one, and we jump right into the fray, diving in and letting it out in thi...

A MUST LISTEN Preview Pod. Yes, we preview the Bucs game in this, our 30TH!, episode, but the guys don't hold back in their disagreements and quips against each other's takes in the process. Whatever debate and argument you "may" have felt like you've been missing out on in recent episodes certainly comes back in full force in this one. Nothing stirs up the takes and opinions like a week coming of...

Well, that one sucked. Saints fall to the Packers to go to 2-1, it appears that Derek Carr, our franchise's biggest asset will be out for a significant amount of time, and our team gave up a 17 point lead instead of closing out the game. Obviously, there are a TON of negatives to address, which we fully dive into in this episode. BUT, we also look ahead, which is all we can do now. What is the pla...

Our New Orleans Saints took care of business getting the W against the Panthers in Carolina and now they take on another road test as they take on the Green Bay Packers in storied Lambeau Field *cue NFL Films Music* Not only do we get into the matchups we like in this one, but we also breakdown how significant this game is in terms of how it could set up the team for success the remainder of the s...

The Saints have made their final cuts down to their initial 53-man roster as the preseason comes to a close and they prepare for WEEK ONE of the regular season against the Titans. Last episode we put out the FIRST ANNUAL Corey's Final Cuts - and Max/Nick gave their own roster predictions for where they differed from Corey's projections. How did our projections hold up to the Saints actual roster c...

With one preseason game remaining and final cuts less than a week away, we debate our first, very own, Saints Initial 53 Man Roster projections - AKA - the FIRST annual...."Corey's Final Cuts". The same co-host who has built Kaden Ellis Mountain stone-by-stone - and has found more hills to die on than can be believed - reveals to co-hosts Max and Nick his Saints initial 53 man roster projection. T...

The Saints are 1-0 …in Preseason…but we all agree the Black and Gold gave us a lot to be excited about in their first preseason outing.  A lot of the positives we’ve been hearing all throughout camp showed out in a big way against the defending Super Bowl champs, especially a near flawless drive from the Saints starting offense against the Chiefs starters AND the Saints DEFENSE holding strong...

For the first time in a while, we have FULL ATTENDANCE on the pod! Max, Nick, and Corey are back, no guests, and firing up the usual debates. We dive into the most recent Saints Training Camp Updates, including the continued onslaught of the team brining in big name free agents for visits. What do we really think of the Kareem Hunt visit? The Anthony Barr visit just seems to make sense on multiple...

It started with @BarstoolNola posting a list of the Saints "Top 10" QB's of all-time, and....we think the list had some glaring issues, to say the least. SO, in this episode, we break-down which Saints QB's should actually make the Top 10 but also debate whether we can even legitimately field a list of Saints QB's worthy of appearing on a "Top-10" list.. To further prove how bad our QB room has be...

“HAKIM DROPS THE BALL! HAKIM DROPS THE BALL!!” We all remember how the book of the 2000 Saints Season ended, the iconic 870 AM call of Jim Henderson poetically testifying at the top of his lungs that “THERE’S A GOD AFTER ALL!” and – for many of us – we remember exactly where we were for the franchise’s first ever playoff win against “The Greatest Show on Turf”. In this episode we of course relive...

Haters have said, “There’s no way you could compare the Saints roster to a charcuterie board…” Well, we did just that in this bonus episode of the 28 to 3 Podcast (inspired by the listener-submitted, maybe intended as a joke, topic from our friend in the UK, Daniel aka @Procrastinatus). As Saints fans, we are blessed to root for a team based in one of the world’s culinary Meccas. So, if you don’t...

Call it the “butterfly effect,” call it Biff’s Almanac from Back to the Future Part II, maybe even call it Inception; but what event – had it not occurred – could have forever altered the history of the New Orleans Saints? On this episode the guys explore alternate Saints universes and each pick one “What If” – each of which would have franchise-altering, Saints landscape-changing implications – a...
