Why the Saints vs. Patriots may be the best game of the season

Why the Saints vs. Patriots may be the best game of the season

Two teams that struggled last season are looking to bounce back.

With the full New Orleans Saints 2025 schedule released, the matchups are set, and some of them are extremely exciting. This excitement could be due to rivalries or the quality of the opponent, but storylines are a main driving force when looking at these games. Yes, the easy choice of fun matchups are the NFC South games, but looking outside of those matchups, one sticks out to me: The New England Patriots in Week 6.

In recent years, the Saints have had the Patriots’ number in these games, even...

NFL announces Protector of the Year award

NFL announces Protector of the Year award

A much-needed addition,

Besides the Super Bowl, the NFL Awards are one of the most highly sought-after accomplishments in the game. Adding new awards to the list is always something the NFL should consider, but it must make sense for it to happen. On Wednesday, the NFL announced that they have added the “Protector of the Year” award for the best offensive lineman in the NFL, per Ian Rapoport.

It has been too long for the NFL to not have an award that can go to an offensive lineman for play on the field. Throughout league history, specifically in recent...

PFF ranks Tyler Shough as the worst starting QB in the NFL

PFF ranks Tyler Shough as the worst starting QB in the NFL

PFF isn’t too optimistic about Shough’s rookie season.

Earlier this week, Pro Football Focus dropped their 2025 NFL starting quarterback rankings, and they don’t appear to be too optimistic about Tyler Shough, who right now is presumed to be the starter for the New Orleans Saints.

Out of the 32 quarterbacks they ranked, Shough came in dead last, just behind Mason Rudolph (31), Anthony Richardson (30) and Joe Flacco (29), who make up the “low-end starters and not long-term options” tier.

Shough is one of two rookies to appear on their rankings, joining Cam Ward, who was the first overall...

The Tush Push is here to stay, for now

The Tush Push is here to stay, for now

Could it be implemented in New Orleans?

Every year, the NFL works with teams to modify, add, or remove certain rules from the game. We saw this after the New Orleans Saints vs. Los Angeles Rams no-call, when the NFL added challenges on pass interference calls, which were ultimately removed the following year. This offseason, there was one conversation in particular that stood out amongst the rest, the tush push. This play was popularized by the Philadelphia Eagles and has caused some anger from other teams due to how effective it is. The main argument against the play is injuries,...

Saints avoid Hard Knocks, who will feature the Bills and NFC East this year

The Saints have not appeared on the show since it first premiered in 2001.

The New Orleans Saints have escaped another year of appearing on HBO’s Hard Knocks as the NFL has just announced that the training camp edition will feature the Buffalo Bills and the in-season edition will feature the NFC East.

This marks the first time the Bills has been selected to take part in the Emmy-winning series and fans of the hit show will also get to see the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders featured during the NFL season on Hard Knocks:...

Bauer: Saints projected running back room

Bauer: Saints projected running back room

Breaking down the potential running backs next season.

Heading into OTAs, one question that remains is what the running back room could look like for the New Orleans Saints. Here’s who I think will be in the backfield come week one.

Alvin Kamara, RB #1

This one here is obvious. Kamara is a Saints icon, holding the franchise record for all-time rushing yards with 6,779 and with 2024 being the closest he’s ever been to a 1,000-yard season, he’s sure to be motivated heading into year nine.

Devin Neal, RB #2

Neal was selected in the sixth round...

Trevor Sikkema with Pro Football Focus has just released his list of the top three players on each NFL team entering the 2025 season. Here are his thoughts on the three New Orleans Saints who are the best upon the best.

The 2025 New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame Celebrity Golf Tournament took place on Monday, May 19, and local media had a brief opportunity to catch up with GM Mickey Loomis to get his thoughts on Derek Carr’s retirement, their lack of primetime games, current quarterback room and more.

On Derek Carr retiring so soon:

A look ahead at Week 4: Saints vs. Bills

What to expect in the Saints' first game against an AFC opponent.

The New Orleans Saints are set to come marching into Buffalo, N.Y., in a week four matchup against the Bills. On paper, this could be their toughest matchup of the early season.

The Buffalo Bills made the AFC championship game last season and has the reigning MVP in quarterback Josh Allen. They have also made numerous offseason additions to the defense, including a draft that saw 6/9 picks on that side of the ball and the big signing of pro-bowler Joey Bosa.

One positive is that the Saints...
