New Orleans Saints, Sean Payton Battle Should Have Opened 2024 NFL Season For Saints

The New Orleans Saints should absolutely open the 2024 NFL season at home against Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos. Dennis Allen taking on his old predecessor, Bo Nix kicking off his career and Klint Kubiak's offense getting off to a hot start against a depleted defense should without a doubt be the Week 1 matchup in the Big Easy.
Why the Kansas City Chiefs are the Saints' toughest opponent and why the Atlanta Falcons will be regarded as the most improved team in the NFC South. But is it true?

Well they announced the Panthers are apparently opening the season against New Orleans. So take the first segment as a “why the NFL should have opened against the Broncos.” Hahaha

[@dlawrencephotography]

They probably didn't do it simply because they still hate Sean. You KNOW that would've gotten eyeballs.

[@williamkrause1225]

Lol!!! Ross, you are killing it today!!! "Mahomesian", "quadfecta", and my favorite reference, "That's a bold move Cotton, let's see how it works out for them. " I'm rolling on the floor!!! Hahaha!! Love you man!

[@hamiltoncamp]

Ross, You forgot to mention Carr’s stats versus the Chiefs. Just in Vegas he’s had passer ratings of 126, 119, 110, 99.8 and 85.7 11-4 TDvs INT. Almost always has a good game versus them. This will definitely be a big factor in that game.

[@BrentonBannister-gc2pt]

Be careful, too much faith being shown lol

[@StepSti]

Saints/Broncos should be a Monday night game.

[@HappyTrillmore]

Thursday smh

[@abelinsa]

Ross...love your show. Just my 2 cents...regarding those first 4 games of the season...you know, teams don't play their 'stars' during pre-season. So, technically, the first 4 games of the regular season is pre-season if you ask me; except those games count. Maybe - just maybe - if the Saints can get it together quickly they can steal at least 1 or 2 of those games after the opener.

[@trevorbickham3067]

Broncos are a Prime time game..

[@FNcerealkilla]

I'll be in Dallas with my taysom hill jersey being louder than any other cowgirl fan here

[@BrentonBannister-gc2pt]

Another season I can save all my munyun 🙏🏾

[@westbankrick885]

My team everyday 🍿

[@user-zq6ix7zk1o]

Don't Give up our players To the Denver Broncos

[@achrisparker]

WHO DAT 💪🏾💪🏾

[@dooniepro3014]

🔥🔥🔥🔥👍

[@kahlerbob64]

Personally I think the offense got a lot better with the hiring of Klay Kubiak and the why zone offense game plus that will also compliment the defense

[@EastBoiTrell]

Klint*

[@brettbergeron1165]

It’s rumored that the saints will play the packers on Monday night on week 16 per the athletic

[@scooterg166]

FSP Wish him unwell

[@kevinchretiensr.2785]

Wus up Ross?

[@LockedOnSaints]

Whats good fam!

[@larryholmes9005]

We play broncos week 7

[@exodiathegod1177]

It would've been nice but two losing teams from last season doesn't bring in viewership. I mean, the ONLY reason the Jets are playing on TV is because of another Aaron Rodgers sighting

[@KTthaSouthernGent22]

Dennis Allen should have been fired whether Sean Payton wanted to come back to New Orleans or not.

[@ryanalario2333]

No. The Saints & Broncos could be a “good game” with interest later in the season. But as of right now..its just 2 bad teams playing each other. The rest of the league & fan base wont care on week 1. If they both improve by leaps & bounds..then everyone else will care.
