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

I was able to break down these options other than "Other" pretty easily.

1. Losing the last three games in 2002 hurt pretty bad, but it was then that I realized that Haslett was a complete moron by playing a hurt Aaron Brooks instead of a healthy Jake Delhomme.

2. I was three years old for the 21-point halftime letdown against the Raiders.

3. I wasn't even born for the Falcons blowout in Tulane Stadium.

4. I wasn't surprised about anything our defense DIDN'T DO against the Seahawks in the 2010 playoff game. They were horrendous all day long.

5. In 1983, I was seven years old and still a Steelers' fan, so I was unaware of anything the Saints were doing that year or anything outside of my Star Wars action figures.

6. Aaron Brooks made some many bonehead plays that nothing ever shocked me about the guy.

I was able to narrow this down to the Alex Smith TD run and Carney's missed extra point. While watching the Saints give up a run like that to the Bernie Kosar-esque Alex Smith was about as painful as having bamboo shoots jammed under your fingernails, it was just edged out by the most bi-polar moment in Saints' fans history when Carney botched the extra point. I guarantee every single Saints fan went from pure elation to absolutely rage faster than a Ferrari can go 0 to 60. It would take something MONSTROUSLY stupid for anything to replace that for me.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

More like Sixty to ZERO! After that Graham TD, you just KNEW the Saints had the game in the bag.

But as you mentioned, our defense made Alex Smith look "All-World" that game!
