Huh, I get Showtime and Epix for free for the next two weeks and I'd never know if it wasn't for watching a 14 year old NFL game.

I will...probably not take advantage of this.

I always liked Deuce despite not being a Saints fan.

Best Saints RB ever, with Pierre being #1b and the best Saints screen RB ever.

I completely forgot he overlapped Reggie Bush and Drew Brees. I just always remember him as being the most dependable part of the up and down wacko as poo poo Haswell years.

The score wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of blowouts (especially modern ones), but there was a complete sense from the beginning of the game to the end that the Falcons never had a chance. The Saints' D, O, and special teams just completely strangled them.

Hindsight 20/20 and all that but yeah, once that punt was blocked, it just was the Saints' night.

Based solely on Twitter chatter and my text messages this game is going to get insane ratings in New Orleans. Like, regular live MNF ratings.

No idea why anyone else would watch it, but hey.

Looked it up, Falcons were a 4 point favorite.

In my head I remember them being a much bigger favorite, like this game surprised the hell out of me at the time.

Gonna laugh when it gets bigger ratings in the market than the post-screwjob Super Bowl.

Interesting noticing this was before the fly/jet sweep really took off.

Payton is running end around looks every play instead of what we'd expect to see today.

It's funny listening to them talk about Reggie Bush like he's a budding superstar, and realizing I probably thought that at the time too.

Reggie Bush was the first player Sean Payton made look better than they were by using them in weird ways.

That was either the same year or right after Parcells was caught using "Jap Play" as a cute reference, and oh did mid-2000s SA love an edgy inside joke.

Eh. There's probably plenty of dumb poo poo in my archives history that'd make me cringe now. I know "it was a different time, man" is kind of a copout, but we all got better. I think the only place that poo poo would still fly nowadays is Barstool.

I forgot how loving broken of a human being Lloyd Christmas was. I'd genuinely love to find out if he ever came out the other side, or if he became a Jim Rome regular or something

I wasn’t at the domecoming but attended a decent amount of the Brees era games and the 2009 pats game was by far the best. You just knew during the game that we had a drat good chance at winning it all that year, it seemed inevitable.
