Early 2000s vs the Vikings. Close game we go up late in the 4th. Stallpepper (Culpepper for you new saints fans) wins the game going for 2 after fumbling the snap, making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, taking a nap, then waltzing into the end zone. Saints were 9-4 and just needed to win one game to get into the playoffs. We lost last 3. “We want Jake!”
Year after, playing the Bucs. Needing to win. We’re up 7-0 and Brooks throws an absolute beauty of a rope in between Horn’s numbers in the endzone that he drops. Think we missed field goal or had a turnover. Bucs went on to win 14-7. Same year as the Jaguars debacle.
2013 Donte Witners helmet to helmet hit on Pierre Thomas. Changed the game. We would have on the SB that year.
Lots of angry ones. Here are a few that are awesome.
2006 home opener - Steve Gleason (that’s all I gotta say)
2009 against the Redskins - the Brees int that became a strip for a Saints TD
2017 also against the Redskins - down by 16 with 5 minutes remaining and got the W in OT. I was in the visiting team tunnel watching the end of that and heard some extremely pissed off players exiting the field. It was glorious.
And in general, every time 23 has owned that bitch Mike Evans.
