It's Nice to Beat Atlanta 20-17 for a Change (1 Viewer)

After losing twice to Atlanta in 78 by that score, a victory in either would have put the Saints in their first playoffs, not to mention a few others to them over the year by that score, this is the first time I can remember coming out on top.

A new era begins!

You show your age sir - in the 78 reference, the throwback avatar, and the thread title typo.

I remember that game like it was yesterday. So painful. Today was at least a little revenge.

That’s when Bubby told us we were going to dance on the tables at Pat O’Brien’s


But we didn’t.

For many years, 20-17 was our 28-3. I was at one of those Big Ben games. Solidified my hate for Atlanta and their fans.

The lowest scoring scenario could have been 3-2 and I would have taken that gladly at this point.

Old dudes shouldn't post with phone.

Much love for my fellow 40- and 50-somethings who don't forget the past. As much as I love watching old games on YT, there's a few I won't ever rewatch. The two losses to Atlanta in '78 and the home game in '79 are prime examples

Yep.
I remember those Big Ben plays like it was yesterday
