2011 SAINTS Schedule

The New Orleans Saints' 2011 schedule was released today, though everything should be written in pencil until after the NFL lockout is lifted.

At first glance, it appears very favorable for the Saints.

An earlier report had the Saints playing the New York Giants on Nov. 27, but that game is actually scheduled for Nov. 28, a Monday Night game at the Superdome.
