I was wondering this after the Falcons game. If anyone has the info it would be much appreciated.

Saints blew a 21-point lead to dallas in 1984 and I think an even bigger one to San Fran around the same time.

I know we've blown a 13 and a 17 point lead off the top of my head, and that's in our golden years. So I'm assuming we have choked larger leads than that before

San Fransisco 1980
Lead 35-7 at half only to lose 38-35.
Up until the 1992 meltdown by the Oilers in Buffalo, this had been the largest comeback in NFL history.
Also 1978 or 1979, we blew a 21 point halftime lead to the Raiders at home on MNF and lost 35-28.

Yes. Saints blew a 27-6 lead against Dallas in 1984. Infamous game.
SIAP.

1980 @ SF Saints were up 35-7 and lost 38-35 in OT.
1979 Oakland in the dome on MNF Saints were up 35-14. Lost 42-35. I was there and got Jimmy the Greek's autograph.

Jimmy the Greek? Wow. He was a legend.

Hell yea, I remember a game against the Raiders around 79-80, that may have held the record for awile. You have to have seen these games to be a "black and gold " club 40 year suffering member. And the saying was allways I hope to see a super bowl before I die.

Spinoff question
What is the biggest deficit weve overcome?
I remember I think one was against the Rams, Aaron brroks was QB, at halftime Kyle Turley raised hell and they came back out and won.

The win matched the Saints' largest comeback in franchise history, tying their 21-point turnarounds in a 41-24 victory against Cincinnati on Dec. 20, 1987, and their 43-38 win against the San Francisco 49ers on Nov. 23, 1969, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The Saints have blown so many big leads, I don't even want to think about it.
Even worse- I wonder what is the worst score they've ever been down AT HALFTIME.
I remember going to a game in the Superdome in 1979 or 1980 against the Dan Fouts/Air Coryell Chargers and we were down 35-0 in the second quarter (and halftime). I wonder if they've had a worse one than that?
