Hurricane Ida already forced the cancellation of the New Orleans Saints final preseason game and led to the team moving its practices to Dallas. With the full extent of the devastation in the region still unknown, there’s a chance the Week 1 opener at Caesars Superdome could be moved.

The Category 4 storm left much of New Orleans without power as of Monday morning and there is devastating damage in the region. While the Saints do have time before they must return for their home opener, with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers set for Sept. 12, the NFL is at least thinking about a fallback plan.

New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers opener could be moved to AT&T Stadium

Of course, who knows how detailed their search of the place was. Or for that matter, if they can fix the damage around the place in time for the game.
Taking it to Dallas I think would favor the Packers, as it would not be a home game for either team. And we know how well Packer fans travel.

The Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints are scheduled to open the 2021 season playing one another, but where remains an open question.

It was believed they could play on Sept. 12 at the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium, which is where the Saints have been practicing after they left New Orleans over the weekend ahead of Hurricane Ida, but a report Tuesday said a concert scheduled there on Sept. 15 could prevent that.

Based on reports Jenkins has done great at LT, but at least did have one day where he really struggled with Preston Smith, which his length is his strength and the Saints have some of DEs with extremely long reach. So our OTs might have to be extra careful with that.

That being said, the Saints best DT is suspended and former Packers DT Ringo is listed as a starter... and former Packers DT Adams was just picked up... avoid the DEs and attack the hell out of their DTs! Which hopefully will allow for long time consuming drives and keep RB Kamara off the field.


On office, the Saints have an elite OL and RB, and a QB and play caller who always put up huge passing numbers, though their receivers are worse than they had in the past and this QB was known for a lot of INTs when he was in Tampa.
