Sorry, I didn't mean to word it that bluntly.

 

[Saint Greg]

Wes Chandler had 205 vs. ATL in the dome in '79.

Next question: what are our three biggest shutouts in franchise history in terms of margin of victory?

I know we beat the Broncos 42-0 in 1988. I know we beat the Cowboys 28-0 in 1989.

That's #1. The 28-0 Cowboys beating might be #4 but definitely not #2 or 3.

13-0 Buffalo with OJ

On the shutout, I'm going to guess the game against Tampa in maybe 2012? It was something like 40-0.

To confirm the answer earlier.....
3 WR with 200.

Wes Chandler
Torrance Small
Mike Thomas

Well done gents.

No clue on the shutouts......except the Denver one (thanks to watching it 2 days ago on Saints Report).

41-0, but close enough. Just waiting on one more shutout score now.

Saints beat the Falcons 30-0 with Bobby Scott as our QB.
I was there.

Answer one, add one type game.

This one isn’t easy to verify online, so let me say I THINK I have the correct answer.

Only two Saints gave rushed for over 200 yards in a game .....name players)?

Reuben Mayes
George Rogers

Oh we already answered it I see.

 

[Saint Kamara]

In what year did the Saints start 9-3 and failed to the playoffs?

 

[UFCSaint]

Impressive guys.
Rogers 206
Reuben Mayes 203 in 1986

Three guys have 200+ receiving yards in a game.
Hint (decades)...2010,’s, 1990’s, 1970’s)

Reason I remember is that I always put up the news clippings on my bedroom wall each season

Torrance Small, crazy.

That speaks to the greatness of Drew Brees.

Good guess but still not the third biggest shutout in franchise history.

In what year did the Saints start 9-3 and failed to the playoffs?

1988

We lost the opener to SF 34-33 and then rattled off 7 wins in a row, then split the next 4 before tanking our season with a 3 game losing streak. Beating ATL 10-6 (nice coincidence matching the score to our final record) in the finale was too little too late as we ended up at the bottom of a 3-team tie at 10-6 with LAR and SF both making it to the playoffs.

At least NYG also missed out at 10-6. The opening day loss to SF was the first full NFL game I ever watched and it was Bobby Hebert's only 4 TD game of his career.

Good guess but still not the third biggest shutout in franchise history.

I figured that it wasn't the answer, but it was fun to write that we shutout Atlanta!
