We're heading into Week 5 of the NFL season, and the New Orleans Saints have yet to score more than 20 points on offense. It's tough to win when that happens, no matter how good your defense is. (And they haven't been very good the past five quarters.) Will that change this Sunday in New England against Bill Belichick's Patriots? And will Derek Carr be more accurate in the second week dealing with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder? All things to talk about with Larry Holder on Friday's Dattitude Podcast (Oct. 5, Ep. 175). Host Jim Derry also has an interesting question he hopes can be answered in his monologue and he wraps up the pod with some emails from listeners.

Normally, Thursday is a day when we have long turned the page on the previous week of football and moved on to the upcoming slate of action. However, Dattitude Podcast host Jim Derry spent the early part of the week in bed sick and did not have a chance to share his frustrations on the Saints’ 26-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday. Consider those frustrations released in Ep. 174. Is it Dennis Allen? Was it Pete Carmichael? Did Derek Carr come back too soon? Is the defense tired? Is it a combination of all of those things? Now that the first quarter of the season is over, what’s the future of this team in 2023, and can it be fixed? And of course, Uncle Big Nick finishes off the show with Jim, as the duo offers their best bets of the week. Both “stay in their lanes,” as UBN is on college, while Jim has five top NFL plays.

Once again, it's Friday so that means Larry Holder of The Athletic joins Jim Derry to preview the Saints upcoming game, which so happens to be against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in the Caesars Superdome. How will the team to with Jameis Winston filling in for an injured Derek Carr at quarterback, and will Alvin Kamara be key in his first game back from suspension? Join us, as we also share our predictions for the Black and Gold and preview the biggest games in the NFL for Week 4, including Bills-Dolphins and Patriots-Cowboys.

It's Thursday, so that means it's time to make some picks on Dattitude with Jim Derry and Uncle Big Nick. On Ep. 172, Jim is all NFL as usual, and he has a teaser, a parlay and 3 other picks. UBN is staying mostly in his lane, picking 4 college plays and slips in a NFL selection from across the pond.

All around, Sunday had to be incredibly disturbing for fans of the New Orleans Saints. First on 'Derry's Dime,' quarterback Derek Carr is injured in the third quarter against the Green Bay Packers with his team leading 17-0. Then, the Saints blow the lead in the fourth quarter, as Jordan Love turns into Aaron Rodgers. What's worse? The fact Carr will be out for a while, or the fact this team let 3-0 just slip away into the wind? And how long will Carr be out? ... Also, can Saints fans at least find a little comedic relief in Sean Payton's comments following the Broncos FIFTY-POINT loss at Miami? And there are definitely things that 'make you go hmmmm' on Ep. 171.

It's Friday morning, so Larry Holder of The Athletic joins Jim Derry to preview the Saints upcoming game, as the team travels to Green Bay to take on the Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. What are the keys to victory for the Black and Gold, and what are our predictions? Join us, as we also preview the biggest games in the NFL for Week 3.

It's Thursday, so that means it's time to make some picks on Dattitude with Jim Derry and Uncle Big Nick. On Ep. 169, Jim is all NFL as usual, and he has a teaser, a total and three line plays, including one that involves Tua vs. Payton. UBN is making college plays with four of his five picks, including the three biggest games of the week.

The New Orleans Saints are 2-0 for the first time since 2013 after defeating Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers on the road Monday night, and it’s in large part because of a tough-hitting defense and an improved offense. In Derry's Dime, Dattitude host Jim Derry goes through why the Black and Gold won, but also what they need to do to improve. Also, hear from Saints coach Dennis Allen and quarterback Derek Carr from after the game - and a thought from Jim on the wacky NFL Week 2 on Ep. 168.

It's Game Day for the New Orleans Saints in Week 2, as they are set to take on the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. Jim Derry is joined by WDSU-TV sports anchor Fletcher Mackel to preview the game and make their final predictions on Ep. 167.

The New Orleans Saints are hoping to be 2-0 for the first time in a decade, and to do it, they'll have to beat a tough division foe on the road Monday night in the Carolina Panthers. Will Trevor Penning and the offensive line come up with a better performance than last week, and will the defense be able to put up a similar effort to this past Sunday. Larry Holder of The Athletic joins Jim Derry for their weekly Friday chat on Dattitude (Ep. 166). They'll also make a jaunt around the NFL in previewing Week 2 and finding the best games.
