2009 Week 6 - Giants @ Saints 

That smile in the thumbnail would be short-lived

This 09 Saints would kill it in today's NFL

Oh the scores brings a smile to my face

As a Giants fan, I never thought I would say it but I miss these teams

Marques Colston is the greatest WR to never make a Pro Bowl and it's a damn shame

*A Giant Superdome Showdown* 2:27 _What do you have to avoid Eli?_ Just don’t turn the ball over 3:11 Are You Ready? *First Quarter* 3:44 To The Kickoff 4:33 Drew Brees, Reggie Bush, Marquis Colston, Jeremy Shocky 5:18 Giants Defense 6:11 Run 7:27 Shocky 14:56 TD Saints 19:45 Well defended 24:24 Big Pass Drew *Second Quarter* 28:05 Open 28:35 Hickson

The buzz the whole week leading up to this game was so much fun!!

I miss these uniform combos from both teams, Saints are crazy to give up on their gold pants the past few seasons and I always liked the gray pants better with the blue tops for the Giants than the white pants.

The clarity is absolutely amazing ! Thank you so much for sharing

For Saints fans this is the year that finally came

The Saints handed the Lions, Eagles, Jets, and Giants their first losses that year. The Cowboys handed them their first loss that year

I totally forgot the Giants started 5-0 that year. Though it's easy to forget when the 2008 collapse pretty much overshadows it.

You gotta love Eli. He's a good natured, goofy guy, but tough as nails and very smart.

Damn, this game is 10 years old but it feels like it's a current game. I think a big part of that is the graphics have held up so well. Fox had some great graphics from 2006 to 2010. The MLB graphics in 2008 were great too.

Ugh I hate this game, because this was where our season ended. After this game, our defense couldn't even stop a turtle.

9:05 when you make a lucky play like that early, it's usually a sign you're going to have a good day.

Okay I don’t wanna sound petty but they said Eli did amazing so far this season man the memories

You can see how this Saints team went all the way that year. Weapons for Brees like Colston, Shockey and Bush with a solid defense that was so fast and aggressive they got penalized after for head hunting.

Hey this is a good game by drew bress

2:07:52 The O line had a great game. They ran the ball well and gave Brees excellent protection.

24:25 damn I miss colston such a beast

1:15:00 Giants finally make a defensive stop, and Eli gives it right back. So much for protecting the ball like he said in his pregame interview.

1:22:37 against the league's best defense so far in the season. The Giants were missing some guys due to injury, but still, the Saints offense was unstoppable!

2009 Saints I'll never forget did a stomping of NY State; maybe even back to back; of Jets Giants Bills. They blew out the Patriots and it was all whooaaaahhh this team is no joke. They went 12-0 and I wrote something on Facebook making a case for 16-0, They didn't have any big dogs left. Then they lost 3 in a row in December. This was when I came up with the theory "All Superbowl Winners lose in December." That has held almost perfectly. Those 12-16 win teams that enter Playoffs on long win streaks ALWAYS lose; often in first game. "Victory Disease" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_disease

The outro in the end. Loved it. Would like to take the outro in the playlist of outros.

I forget who it was but when they were stretching before the game, one of the giants said "these are the same old saints I've seen growing up. Same old saints ain't nothing different" I know this is 10 years late but 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Four straight games, the Saints have rolled 45+ on the Giants down in the Superdome. 45-7, 2003 48-27, this game 49-24, 2011 52-49, 2015 Not one defensive TD for the Saints in any of those four games, save for one blocked punt in '03 and the kicker: Brees vs. the Giants in the Dome has thrown for 15 TDs vs. 2 INTs The last time the Giants won on Bourbon Street, Dan Reeves was the coach. Hopefully, the Giants won't have to sit there and play the Saints in N.O. anytime soon.

This game is a perfect example of 2 teams having potential of having a great season go at it. The winner gains momentum and lives up to the potential of having a great season while loser goes downhill

Who's here after Drew call it Quits 2021 Retirement

Ah yes I remember this game - the world got introduced to C.C. Brown (41 on the Giants) and not in a good way.

In this Championship year, many don't realize that the Saints defeated Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. Not bad for one year.

Eli had a very young WR Core

Saints was just high powered offensive

I love the Saints but F Darren Sharper.

Do Saints at Dolphins 2009

Giants started 2009 5-0 and finished 8-8 even 3rd in the division like thats crazy 😦 I mean it doesn't beat 2008 11-1 and finished 12-4 and one and done in the playoffs

Jeremy Shockey played against his former team the Giants.

22:06 he always knew how to push off without drawing a flag

Knocked of Eli here and knocked off Peyton to win the Super Bowl

See unlike New England. We can easily handle the giants. We never choked against them.

Kicked their ass

1:13:22 I think he had it when I watched it live, but there's no good replay angles to prove it.

24:04 and 38:16 Yes kids, early in his career, Drew Brees had an ELITE arm.

54:44 Troy Aikman's full of baloney. There was a very clear arm extension. It is the correct call

42:09 That was the year the Yanks went all the way, too. Their last championship, in fact.

The Giants were only staying in this game with good special teams in the first half.

"It's like practice"

Eli vs Brees

46:53

As much As your offer does'nt appeal to me Armand I must respectfully decline

Bad Officiating The Entirety Of This Contest... FEH!

To see that head-to-head hit on Eli years after finding out about bounty gate makes me cringe.

i can't stand aikman
