What was the Saints signature win in 2017/18?
A lot of good nominations in here.
I’d say our best all around performance was Buffalo and would be my vote for “if I should watch 1 game from last season, which one tells me the most about the Saints.”
I don’t agree with Detroit because it was too wacky of a game and we almost let them climb back into it.
The first game against Carolina is another good one. Early in the season, but still felt like the season could be over. I think this was our defenses’ true coming out party. Our defense was supposed to be new and improved, but we started the year with two awful games reminiscent of years prior. Even last seasons turnovers felt like dumb luck, but this was the first game in a while that felt like we TOOK the ball away .
The second game against Atlanta was awesome. I really felt like we got screwed in game one. Not to say that bad calls are the only reason we lost, but taking away that field goal on such a bogus penalty really felt like the wind came out of the sails for a bit. I think if that field goal stands, we steamroll Atlanta in the second half. The second game was like the big fight after school that everyone has been waiting for all day. The bell rang and Atlanta got what was coming to them. We only won by 10, but it felt like a first round KO.
