I agree with this

True. I watched that game too and was so pumped. I lived through the Dome Patrol and that was the first true taste of victory but I still have to go with Atlanta.

Philly when they pushed the pile from the 5 yard line on a mcallister run for the touchdown.

The game that stands out the most to me was when the D stopped San Fran in the early 80's (83-84 I believe) on the goaline for 4 plays and took over on downs and eventually won the game.

It was during SF's heyday with Montana in his prime and the Saints were contenders for the first time ever. The Dome patrol, Who Dat, and Cha-Ching originated in that game, IMO.

1. Philly playoff win
2. Rams playoff win
3. LINK I will never forget this as a Saints fan. The goal line stands were unbelievable. I was certain I had seen this story before but then history didn't repeat itself.

When I was a kid in '88....The Saints beat John Elway and the Super Bowl bound Denver Broncos 42-0 in the Superdome. That was pretty impressive!

This one's up there but, as far as for complete victories, I too like these

'88 42-0 vs Denver - even Mel Gray had a TD return in this one

'06 The Skulldraggin down in Dallas - what made this one extra special for me was the way the camera panned over to Parcell's stoic face everytime the Saints tricked the Cowboys. Which was all night long really. Remember, Karney scored a few times with no one even covering him, I also seem to remember a successful surprise onside kick, bombs to Devery, a electrifying play by Reggie, it was just a slaughter.

19-3 return to the Dome vs Atlanta. Did you see the look on the face of the Falcon players?? They were overwhelmed. Their faces looked like what I would imagine someone would look like on their way to their own hanging.

More complete games:

Oakland 27-0, dome patrol days. National TV

Minnesota 24-0? Not sure about the score but also during the dome patrol era. Minnesota owned us for most of the Mora years but on this night I remember holding them to something like 124 yds

Green Bay 51 pts!!! 2008 Everyone was touting GBs secondary coming into the game and billing it as strength vs strength (GB secondary vs Brees' and the high octaine Saints passing attack) Well, the Saints and Drew Brees surgically casterated the Green Bay pass defense on national TV and probably could have hung 60 on the Pack. From a historical perspective, far from our finest hour but the defense had a rare decent performance and for some reason, I really enjoyed this game. I think I discharged a little sometime in the third Qtr just watching the Saints take them apart.
