I remember watching the Steve Smith lead Panthers in the playoffs in a night game wishing I knew what that felt like as a Saints fan. The Panthers were incredible but they never got the ring. Us getting the ring in the 09 season was the single greatest sports moment of my life. A second can never TOP that feeling but it can dayum sure come close. I hope to see it again. I don't think it will happen again in the foreseeable future but I REALLY hope it does.
Imagine the pain of the following fanbases who've never been to that mountaintop: Atlanta, Buffalo, Carolina, Jacksonville, Minnesota and whomever else. I think Atlanta's pain might be the most acute because of 28-3 but there's an argument to be made for Minny being 0-4 and also losing to ATL in the NFCCG when they had one of the greatest offenses ever, and Buffalo for going to four straight Super Bowls and going 0-4. At least we've done it.
