What is your most favorite non playoff moment in SAINT history. (2 Viewers)

Now narrow it down to one

Re-opening the Dome would be my favorite because I lived on the Jourdan River in Kiln, MS. We lost our home and everything else (as did many). I was in that Dome and experienced the emotion that went through that place. It still gives me chills.

That Thanksgiving game when the Cowboys was about to win then got stripped of the ball at the last moment.

Gleason's block is hard to beat, but three games in 2009 deserve honorable mention. The comeback in Miami, the blowout against the Pats, and that ridiculous play Meachem made in Washington.

I ran around my house and into the front yard screaming for the Washington game... Probably #1 Gleason block...

This one's my favorite too. I was there, even though I wasn't born yet, along with about 3.7 million other people lol.

In all seriousness though, mine is the same as guido's. My dad has never been a fan of going to the games since I've been alive, he'd prefer to watch at home. He told me that year that if the Saints made it to the playoffs that he'd take me to the game if it was here (I bet he thought he was slick!). I was only 6 years old, but I remember when the Saints beat the Packers in that final game of the season knowing that I was going to not only get to see the Saints play in person, I was going to get to see them beat the crap out of the 8-7 Vikings in the first ever playoff win. I mean, even a 6 year old knows that 12-3 is far superior to 8-7, so there's like no chance that the inferior team would go on the road in the playoffs and forever etch into my memory the score of 44-10 in what ended up being one of the most depressing moments of my short life. I was little and just didn't understand how they could lose, and lose SOOOOOOOOOO BAD. I was crushed.

The life of a Saints fan.

Definitely among the many low moments in team history, that shocking margin of defeat was.

But my love of research and watching old games reminded me of something about the '87 Vikings. They lost all three of the "replacement" games with the scab players, while the Saints were 2-1 and the 49ers were 3-0. And of course one full week of games was cancelled entirely. Thus, the "regular" Vikings were 8-4 and likely could have easily posted double digit wins had the strike not occurred. They also had better athletes at the skill positions than we did and had some young, budding defensive players like Chris Doleman and established players like Joey Browner. So that record is a bit deceiving. They also upset the Niners the following week and lost a close one to Doug Williams and the Redskins in the NFCCG.

That was Malcolm Jenkins on Roy Williams (I think). I was in AT&T Stadium and Reggie fumbled in that game that helped Dallas come back from a pretty deficit.

I remember the fumble by Bush because Dallas fans started mocking the "Reggie, Reggie, Reggie" chant afterwards...

There's quite a few to list, but...........................when Harltey kicked us to the Super Bowl, I cried like a baby.

 

[Swimmer]

to me, the most exciting play was the River City relay, but we lost anyway on the missed extra point.

For me it has to be NOVEMBER 29 1987 . After all the years of losing we were finally a winner. I have to confess I cried when time expired. For all the newer fans SAINTS 20 STEELERS 16 our 9'th win in our first winning season. We finished 12-5. in a strike shortened season.If you guys think its bad now after three 7-9 seasons you all should have been around in the 60's,70's & 80's. It was tough being a DIEHARD SAINTS FAN. Well that's my trip down memory lane thanks for listening.

Dave Waymer and Stan Brock hugged and cried after that game. They were the last guys left from the 1-15 debacle.

I forgot the year but when we played the Skins and drew was picked off only to have Meachem strip it right back and run it in for the TD! I was running around my living room lol

Reopening of the dome. Gleason's blocked punt. It meant so much to a lot of people. Has to be #1

Easily. Nothing comes close.

When Kyle Turly ripped the helmet of the Jets player on primetime

This was one of my least favorite. We were rolling down the field, we were probably going to beat the Jets, and we were going to have a huge penalty in our favor. Then Turkey's antics get us pushed back and we lose. If I recall, that game had considerable playoff implications.

I threw the remote.

Of the games I have been in attendance it would have to be the Cowboys/Saints game on Monday Night when Morten kicked the game winner after the Boys tied it up with under a minute to play.

At the time I was fired up at Turly's antics, but looking back (not my favorite moment obviously Gleason punt block is) it is one of the most bizarre scenes in Saints history
