Potential Hurricane Heading for Jacksonville Highlights The Saints’ Stupidity
Yesterday, news came out that there is a chance a hurricane could form near Jacksonville before the Green Bay Packers take on the New Orleans Saints. Right now, there is some activity brewing in the Gulf Coast. While we’ll hope that if this Gulf Coast does form it goes towards Florida versus New Orleans who does not need any more weather activity, it would severely impact the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints. Choosing Jacksonville over Arizona where there are no hurricanes as far as the eye could see was next level dumb by New Orleans.
Umm…so the #Saints moved their home game from New Orleans to Jacksonville. This is awkward. #BeOn4 #NewOrleansSaints @wwltv pic.twitter.com/JFA6wK3IHQ

The only reason this game is being played in Jacksonville is to avoid it being a pseudo-home game for the Packers. I have news for Sean Payton and the Saints alike. Every road game is like a home game for the Packers. Rarely, the support isn’t there. Choosing a place (Same with Miami) where hurricanes can be a significant problem made no fucking sense in the first place.
My guess is the NFL will not change this again unless this hurricane looks like a real problem.
