Trying to remember a Saints game from about 1991 or so. The Saints lost late and I vividly remember my friend's mom blaming it on a shanked punt by the Saints. Like a 15-yard punt or something. I can't remember whether it was a regular season game or a playoff game. It was a late afternoon or night game I think. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I'm going to venture a gues that it was against the Falcons in November. 91 would have been Tommy Barnhardt. And that's the only game we lost where his yards per punt were below average for him.

I don't know the answer but I was a fan in those days, even flew in for a game that year, so I guess that makes me an old timer.... which I'm not sure I'm a fan of...

It was a Sunday night game in the dome against Atlanta.
Barnhardt shanked a punt for about 17 yds. Atlanta beat us with a field goal in OT.
