Trivia fact: The 2009 Saints are the ONLY team to ever throw five touchdowns against any Belichek coached team!

I remember that game like it was yesterday. I’ll never forget the scene with about half of the fourth quarter still to play Belichek had thrown in the towel and pulled Brady. The camera showed them standing together on the sideline with looks of disbelief on their faces.

My favorite play of that game was when the Pats didn’t cover Devry Henderson, with predictable results!

I love watching Brees scanning the field and seeing Henderson uncovered and pivoting to throw him the pass!

I go to YouTube and watch the highlights just to see that play; It never gets old!

Ah yes. Good times.

I was THERE!!

Our cornerbacks were Mike McKenzie and Chris McAllister who'd just been signed off the street!

Seeing Brady get pulled in Q4 was just too good.

Watching Brees… even just watching his eyes… and that firecracker named Sean Payton on the sidelines… man were we blessed…

11/30 MNF ... you just knew that team was headed to the Super Bowl.

Got even better the following week vs Washington.
Bobby Meach strip, subsequent score. They just found ways to win.

Yeah, it was our year.

Conversely, watching the flummoxed expressions on Bill's and Tom's faces!!!

You know that when the schedule came out they had already penciled in a W next to that game
