Steve Gleason's blocked punt in the post-Katrina dome opener vs. Atlanta

or

Tracy Porter's pick six in the Superbowl

Go!

For me, I'll always remember the flea flicker against Cincinnati to joe horn on our first offensive play. They didnt bite but drew threw it right on the money, TD

I watched that game with my friend Stalter, a huge browns fan. First play of the game Cleveland scores a 60 yard TD over the top. He starts talking shite. Offensive Holding.

The next game against Green Bay was my favorite. Drew turns it over twice. I'm thinking here we go. To close out the first half he hits devery over the top for a 39 yard TD. Saints up like 21-17 and we won the game. That's when I knew drew was the man.

Yeah all suggested are also pretty memorable! How about in the first 2006 playoff game against the Eagles, when Reggie got his bell rung early. Lit a fire inside him and the 1 2 punch with Deuce 'brought the wood'

Porter's interception for impact. I think that must be the thrill feeling that girls talk about when asked to get married. It was immediate soul stirring deep joy and tears flowed. Up there with my kid's births. And I waited a helluva lot longer for that event to happen.

Meachem's strip in Washington might be the top regular season one. It was such beautiful hustle and result. Plays like that in '09 made you think the magic was happening as we watched. And it never let up.

I would love if you can find the thread "this team isn't championship material" started right after the redskins game, though the OP might have changed the title. I looked everywhere for it.

Haha yeah, that whole '09 season was just absolutely beautiful!

I went from pausing the TV for every little thing in 2009, to watching games completely live in 2012, using defensive snaps for drinks, snacks, and bathroom breaks

obvious plays like the Porter INT (also vs Favre), Gleason block, onside kick, the 2 point conversion. The yards record to Sproles for the td was outstanding as well.


I'll throw some others in


Brees; perfect pass to Henderson vs Bears (Easily one of the nicest passes I've ever seen from him) His 2nd touchdown vs the Titans that season was unreal also.

Meachem strip fumble for touchdown
LINK


The entire performance of Brees vs The Patriots defense in 09. The play-calling was great in there as well. The double pump fake before hitting David Thomas in the middle was so awesome. That play is at the 1:54 mark.
LINK


The 2 Reggie Bush punt returns vs the Vikings, although the game was a loss. The video quality on this is absolute shite, but all I could find.

Here are some highlights from the 06 season. This video is really awesome. What started it all.

That's what I do, never miss anything when the saints D is on the field. Just listen to the boos and groans from the snack stands.

Garret Hartley game winner for a Super Bowl spot. It was the most tense kick I've ever experienced. A spot in the Super Bowl was right there waiting for us in one play. One play. It was right there for us to take in our grasp. An entire season riding one one kick. It's like being a few inches away from sinking your teeth into a delicious fruit like a watermelon.

When he made it, it was the biggest rush of emotional relief and sweetest taste any sports fan will ever experience. You knew that kick was good once it cleared the vikings. Straight down the middle and would've been good from 60 yards out.

Most important play ever to date in Payton/Brees era. There was a shite ton riding on that kick. I bet you a lot of babies were born 9 months after that kick.

He misses that kick, somebody's arse is getting beat all over Louisiana.
