This is just getting ridiculous
I snapped this pic of the Fed-Ex Field scoreboard about two seconds after Garrett Hartley’s field goal sailed through the uprights to win the game. It was almost as if I didn’t believe we had actually won and I needed to snap a picture of the scoreboard in order to have something tangible to prove to myself that yes, we did actually win that utterly amazing game in the most improbable of ways.
I still can’t fully wrap my brain around what I witnessed there on Sunday afternoon, and I doubt that I ever will, but there is one thing I’m 100% sure of…I’ll never forget being in that stadium on Sunday. It was pure madness…the range of emotions experienced and expressed by fans of both teams…you could actually feel the shift in momentum permeating throughout the stadium after Suisham missed the kick that would have iced the game for the Skins.
About all of this, I think Drew summed it up rather well in the post-game press conference:
"I believe in destiny, and I believe in karma and what goes around comes around. We've been on the other side of this deal, probably too many times. Maybe it's our time -- that we start catching some of the breaks, start being a team that wins 'em like this in the end."
12 and 0. This is, as I mentioned in the subject line, just getting ridiculous, but Goddamn it’s a fun wave to ride. WHO DAT!

Twelveneaux! Geaux Saints!
I have suffered with this team since the beginning and I still haven't forgiven Tom Benson for his actions post-Katrina....
There is something about this team that I've ever seen with a Saints team.....
12 N.O.
Great game yesterday. I'm an Arizona fan but I was rooting for the Saints to win that game against Washington.
That dance down the sidelines for a touchdown was one of the best plays of the weekend. Maybe of the entire season.
I agree....Drew summed it up best. The Saints have been on the losing side of too many close games in the past god-knows-how-many years! It's OUR time now! Geaux Saints! Who Dat?!!
