Saints vs. Ravens: Preseason open thread

The New Orleans Saints begin the 2021 preseason tonight on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. Although wins and losses “don’t mean anything” in the preseason, it would be great to see the Saints come out strong in the preseason opener. The Saints have seen some big changes this past offseason, most notably the retirement of future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees. Now is the time to see where these new faces take the franchise.

Those of you in the local New Orleans market will be able to watch the game live on FOX 8 (WVUE) while the rest of us will need to listen on WWL.com and live vicariously though this thread until the NFL Network replay airs at midnight on Sunday (well, technically Monday at that point). Here’s to a great showing from the Saints, and leaving the game as healthy as they arrived!
