New Orleans Saints throttle Tampa Bay Buccaneers 41-0

Attached Thumbnails · 12-16-2012, 04:37 PM

The New Orleans Saints snapped their three-game losing streak in emphatic fashion Sunday with a 41-0 throttling of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

It was the Saints' first shutout since Dec. 24, 1995 when they blanked the Jets 12-0.

Quarterback Drew Brees ended his mini-slump with a four-touchdown, 307-yard effort against the Buccaneers, who entered the game with the worst pass defense in the NFL. The victory gives the Saints (6-8) a chance at finishing the season with a .500 record, still a disappointing record for a team that entered the season coming off of three consecutive playoff appearances. The loss dropped Tampa to 6-8 and effectively ended any outside shot it had of sneaking into the playoffs.

It was great overall performance by our guys but for the life of me I can't understand why TB, with 2 seconds left on the clock didn't kick a FG to keep from being skunked.

How great that I missed all this fun because my brother dragged me to the Falcons game. I thought that the Giants would have a great change of beating tem too, but no. All those hours watching the Falcons play great *facepalm*

Time to fire up my recording of this game and get in on the fun.

It was a awesome game MArk Ingram was actually running straight ahead and the Defense was amazing ! The INT's were big... Winning out will be a great start to next year ! With our coach back ! WHO DAT !

Ingram played very well, his TD was a tough run, 3 defenders tried to tackle him

This and the first Atl game gives me much optimism for next season. The Saints can spank any team in our division. A couple pieces on D, and the Saints are back in business

Tampa, man they looked BAD they might have cut the whole team.

And why is it that the Buc's rookie coach can suggest to the Commish that the kickoff should be eliminated? Because his team is sooooooo good!???? LOL
