Its the off-season and its the covid-season. Despite normally being in a football holding pattern, this shelter at home advisory has intensified the need for gridiron violence. Classic Saints games like the DomeComing and the Brees' milestones are being aired. It's almost enough to satisfy the palette while you pittle around the house and learn that not all your base boards are the same.
Those games are great, but there is a game that is entirely on youtube from 2006. The game that put all that DB and Reggie hype to the test. In all its 480p glory, the 2006 Saints vs Eagles game is on youtube and quite honestly, its THE game where our young cats first put their names to the test. It was the single most important game (imo) to our 2009 success.
Regardless what you think, there is no doubt, this is the game that finally, legitimately, put the Saints in the orbital champion sphere.
Reggie Bush and Deuce...
Young Drew Brees...
Devery freaking Henderson was our #1
Colston as a Rookie...
Watching Drew walk out at the 4:30 mark gives me chills... NOBODY knew the greatness that was about to unfold.
