Best Win Ever Against: Washington (1 Viewer)

[Optimus Prime]

No contest 2009

The famous Meach Around



Pretty sure this was the game where the Skins kicker inexplicably missed a late 20 yard field goal that would have won the game

After the comeback against Miami I knew we were special

After this game I knew we were a team of destiny and it was Super Bowl or bust

I'd go with game against cousins with the von Bell 4th down stop and kamara 2 pt conversion

We were 16 pts down in 4th?


Mainly cos I was there

That game was frustrating to watch for most of it.

Totally agree. Especially for me as the rest of my family are die hard Washington fans.

Yup. We were in the Dome, down 15 actually with minutes to go. Score, stop, score and AK on the 2 point.

In OT, Ingram took a screen pass like 40 yards to put in FG range, ball game.

A far more exciting ending that the 2009 game, which really was only famous because of a super flukey play.

Here’s that great comeback win…..down 15 with 5:31 to go.

For me:

1970s - The Dempsey kick
1980s - Beating the Steeler with two goal line stands
1990s - I’m going random with the Jake Delhomme win against the Cowboys. Always loved that one
2000s - Hakeem drops the ball
2010s - Drew Brees throws like 10 TDs and we beat the Giants
2020s - TBD

The Meacharound game in 2009 was great for a lot of reasons due to what went on to occur later in the year, but that 2017 comeback was otherworldly.

Down 15 with only 5:58 left, Brees puts on a surgical clinic going 12/13 for 164 yards and 2 TD’s, the defense forces 3 stops, and Ingram pops off for 20 and 31 yards in overtime to put us in FG range to win it.

I was at the game the OP referenced. It was cold as balls, and we were going to leave if Suisham made that kick. It would have put the skins up by 10 with about a minute left

Suisham doinked the field goal from 25 out and you could feel the air go out of FedEx field. As the Saints marched down the field the guy next to us said “enjoy the Super Bowl”

Good god it was cold that night

It was too cold. If it’s too cold to drink beer, it’s too cold.

It was cold.

And FedEx Field sucks.

That was probably one of our best games in 2017 season and I'd put this comeback close to being in the low end (maybe #8th or #9th) in our franchise's all-time greatest comebacks ever. By all accounts, we should have lost both the 2017 game and our legendary, almost mythical 2009 OT come back @ Washington.


Our 1979 game, OTOH, to certain Saints fans over the age of 60, where our late-70's, "flex defense" rarely for once proved to be effective as we kept Redskins offense out of the end zone like 4-5 times where New Orleans evened their record, IIRC, to 4-4 against a 6-2 Redskins team. Likely one of the Saints best defensive overall performances by that point-blank in its franchise 13-year history.
