Most Memorable Saints Games Ever???

I gotta say when Reggie took that shot and more than less walked it off… that was a “man-up” moment for him. I remember watching that game in my parent-in-laws FEMA trailor and at that hit, we all jumped up and I thought the trailor wouldn’t make it.

if you include all of the games with blunders and soul-crushing moments, so I’ll focus on the good stuff.

3 Stand out in my head, all from the 1987 season, back when I was in high school and I went to every game with my dad:

1. vs 49ers in the dome – we lost on a missed FG at the buzzer, but a classic Jim Mora post-game tirade turned the entire franchise around – “woulda, coulda, shoulda.” Showed Mora wouldn’t stand for the same old crap
2. at 49ers – great game. Reggie Sutton blocked a FG for a TD (I think it was Johnnie Poe running it in). Montana threw a TD to put the niners ahead, but Morten just barely made a FG to retake the lead and then, as Montana was driving again, Tony Elliot knocked the ball out of the center’s hand before he could set it. Refs didn’t see it and time ran out – very sweet to screw them after they’d ripped out our hearts so many times.
3. at Steelers – Game that clinched our first winning season ever. Defense had an epic goal-line stand to seal victory. Can still hear Jim Henderson with the call on 4th down.

I remember a game vs Rams when Warner and Faulk played for Rams and they usually had their way with us. This game was an important one- we won it – maybe we clinched the division that time, but we beat the Rams when they were a very good team (so were we) – I don’t think it was a playoff game – I am a little hazy on this one but I was on the road in Md. and watched it at a dive bar and I believe it was a December game. Maybe someone else remembers. I think it was late 80’s or early 90’s.

Welcome, mjy. I’ve been waiting on Satch to post his, but I’ll put this one out for starters. I watched this on TV since I’m in the Cowboys’ TV market. I remember I grabbed a Puffs box and jumped up off the sofa, then in a rage tore that box in half with one hand. I looked down and went “whoa”. And then I wiped my tears with those Puffs. At age 27. Totally serious. Check this out, no wonder I hate the Cowboys so much:

Saints @ Cowboys

……………………… 1 ..2 …3 ..4 ..OT . T
New Orleans Saints 0 17 .10 ..0 .. 0 …. 27
Dallas Cowboys ….. 3 .3 …0 21 .. 3 …..30

“prevent defense”= 21 unanswered points in the 4th quarter to tie, lost it by a field goal in over time. Classic example of Saints’ (and Saints fans’) bad heads, being good enough to beat Dallas but not thinking they are good enough, and choking. We need sports psychologists!!!!!!

The first Saints game I ever attended. We sat in the end zone in Tulane Stadium with the wind blowing right in our faces, and it was the coldest I’ve ever been in my life. My feet were gone by halftime, and about the middle of the fourth quarter I was wondering if I was going to survive. But we won!
