1991, Dec. 16 - 27-0 win over the L.A. Raiders?
1992, Dec. 26 - 20-0 win over the N.Y. Jets

And yet this bugs me because I remember a shutout game against the Rams, and a low scoring (but not sure of shutout) at Seahawks. Rams could be in 80s, Seahawks definitely in 90s but I was listening on Radio when I was in Uk and the game finished about 5am in the morning there!

WHERE IS JOHN CARNEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god Mare. oh my god

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

Hopefully it will not be a nightMare

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

You guys are panicing to soon. Mare will be fine. Give him a chance. How many of us can kick a 50 yard field goal? The thirty yarder is harder to explain but hell you can't blame him for everything. It could be a multitude of things that cause the misses. Let's wait and see.

I am with yer JOESAM2002. If the Saints mess up (and I am not assuming they will), it will not be because of Mare.

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

Dude, you need to relax.

Both Mare and Carney have well known skillsets in this league.

Mare: best kickoff. most touchbacks. can hit the 50+ yarder. 80% accuracy playing outdoors.

Carney: Accurate inside the 40. Limited leg. could not put the ball in the EZ on kickoffs.

Consider that last year the Saints needed two active roster spots to do what Mare does now. And Not even Cundiff could put the ball back for a touchback like Mare does.

And yes I must finish with the painful parting shot. I'm reasonably sure that Mare did not in fact lose an actual game due to a missed extra point. Just in case you've forgotten:

So chill. Mare will be fine.

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

The funny thing is, Mare only had his worst year last year mainly due to going 1 for 6 in field goals of 50+ yards. He was considered one of the best kickers in the league until last season, so I don't know why everyone is so doom and gloom about him now. Guys can have an off year, especially when the team is tanking and your coach's pupils are looking like dollar signs.

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

how in the world fred thomas is still on this team. if he is on the first team our secondary is in the same shape it was last year. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak.

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

No way he's on the first team, dude... don't expect to see FT in any defensive situations where we need a stop or are faced against deep threats. He's got experience and he fills a much smaller roll than past seasons. Jason David, McKenzie and Harper are the web.

Re: Saints/Dolphins thoughts
 

if you asked for odds at end of last season it would have 0% the FT would be back. i'm sure he has some wisdom to pass on such as how to get ran past on a consistant basis. i hope we don't see him thursday
