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 small issue known as Saquon Barkley, which many seem to have forgot about amidst all the Tommy...

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. Thank god, though, for our DB's who showed up big with multiple passes defensed of Bryce Young. Of...

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, hypothetical draft scenarios that didn't happen, and a lot of "coulda wouda shouda's" that have...

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 playing one of the NFC's top teams to the final possession was a "better" outcome than we thought...

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?!” Technically, we are, but we’re not feeling all too warm and fuzzy about it, more like the...

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. Once again, we saw our Saints in a position to take control of something. Only this time, it wasn't...

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 heading into this one - thus dumbing down the amount of shit talk thrown the way of Falcons fans...

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 this one, and it’s a tough task to narrow down the last few spots on the top 10, but overall this...

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 performance in the game - but also - the team's complete inability to take advantage of a critical...

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 flatten the Dobbs wave the Vikings seemed to have caught last week in Atlanta? We get into that and...

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 .500 hump in the record, and got to the top of the division standings after not being too far...

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 has the opportunity to get back to a winning record, which means Dennis Allen has the opportunity...

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 before we say "they've figured it out"? We dive deep into that issue on this RECAP POD of the...

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 for who was on that side of the argument. Other than that, we do still have a game on Sunday,...

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 infamous 3rd down overthrow/temper tantrum - but we bring instances like that up not for "X's and O's"...

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 be rolling out a patchwork at best offensive line for this one (thanks to injuries) - how will...

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 many are able to escape blame in this one; but as usual, we find plenty of ground for...

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 team from Houston. BUT...as Max and Corey sometimes can't help themselves - debate ensues in this...

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 week, for instance: Did the Saints “FAIL” Drew Brees? Listen in for the others.

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 little Pels talk and NOLA HS Football talk! GLORY DAYS! You will be certain of one thing after...

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 this episode. But that said, knowing the obvious shortcomings displayed thus far, we also...

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 this episode, recapping a "game" that left us all speechless for all the wrong reasons. Or maybe it...

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 off a loss, and this one is no exception. BUT, one thing we all agree on is...we are playing the...

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 play at QB moving forward? ("for now" hopefully). Can the O-line be fixed or is this what we're...

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 season. PLUS, Max takes us on a trip down memory lane to the time that he actually travelled to...
