FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

November 30th, 2009. Brees vs Brady. Monday Night Football.
#9 went for 18/23 for 371 yards and 5 TDs in a 38-17 win over New England.

Sit back with the beverage of your choice, and Google search this one.

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

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

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.

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

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…

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

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!!!

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

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

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

Several around here put an "L" next to five of our first six games when the current schedule was released. We've already bettered that. ;)

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

I remember many were saying if we were 3-3 after 6 it was good. The tough part of our schedule definitely is the 1st 6 games. Losses to Dallas, Philly and KC, wins against Carolina, Atlanta and TB.

I was expecting 4-2 or 3-3. We might be a game behind where we should be.
A win tonight (long shot) and were back on what I predict will be a 10 win season.

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

Don't forget, Dallas was a longshot, too. :D

Re: FLASHBACK TO A THING OF BEAUTY…
 

You can put an L on tonight’s game, and then come back to this thread and pull up a cozy chair, and google SAINTS 2009. 😉
