Your WORST "I Can't Believe It" moment with the Saints...

I voted for the SF playoff game because that wound is still fresh. But Brooks' backwards pass STILL infuriates me to no end ever time someone even mentions Brooks' name. How do you throw the pass backwards?!?!?!??!!! HOW???!!!!?!?? SMH......F@#$ Aaron Brooks'!!

Aaron Brooks is example how good Mike McCarthy is with the WR crew though.

Once Aaron went to Oakland, that was it.

Not like Aaron was a great QB, but under McCarthy, he make any QB look good or better than they are. Its why Aaron Rodgers is considered elite, why Matt Flynn cant even start on another team after setting Packer records while Rodgers sit.

Heres one that isn't on the list and I seriously doubt anyone remembers this, but game 6 of the "ain'ts season" we actually beat the Miami Dolphins on a late TD pass byArchie. A b/s call of offensive pass interference took it off the board and we ended up losing and not winning a game until very late in the season.

The Snake Stable Horror Show. 1984. I was so excited to go watch the Saints in Texas Stadium. We beat the snot out of Dallas on all sides of the field. The Cowboys fans were revolting, because Gary Hollisopplesneikenfelder... stein... burn... von tropp, (Hogeboom) who they thought was their new savior, was getting punked by Bum's defense, as did many offenses. Better yet, 1/3 of the stadium was in those yellow- gold t-shirts we wore back then, because you could be seen better in the stands-- we OWNED Texas Stadium, and the Cowboys fans were visibly peeved. ... but frightened. We're doing just fine with a 21 point lead going into the 4th quarter, when pow! Richard Todd goes down. In come Ken Stabler who promplty threw 2 piks and fumbled in the endzone. We were about to have a huge win in front of a national audience, but no.... super long walk back to the car, jeers in my ears.... super long drive home.... next day was pure depression.

Bobby Hebert flying around with that Dirty Bird running movement was enough to make me puke!

I've forgiven Bobby, though! He's our homeboy from Cutoff, LA!

You know...I had forgotten about those. If I'm remembering this right, the Saints lost both games that year 20-17. Then, the following year we lost the first game by double that score, 40-34.
