An Almost Perfect Upset! (Saints vs. Redskins, 2009) | NFL Vault Highlights

[@chriscamardelle3821]

The Meachem play before half will forever be one of my favorite plays. (In my best Henderson voice) MEACHEM STOLE DA BALL!!

[@jonathanesters8030]

The only play I like as much is the malcom Jenkins chase down 80 yards away play and tackle guy at one the team ended up not getting anything on that drive 100%effort

The only reason why the shooter is in prison is because he shot Smith many times in the back while trying to retrieve his gun, by then it was too late

[@darrenjames4734]

@Joseph Van Horn he doesn't hate white people,it's just what Drew said was very offensive to black people. I have to admit I am black and I was very offended and I am a Saints Fan. Cause he made it seem like it was all about the flag and it isn't.Black people don't kneel to disrespect the flag, they kneel because that's their way of taking a stand against racism, thus why we have the Black Lives Matter movement, that's why Colin Kaepernick kneeled 4 years ago because he believes in Black Lives matter.I don't condone what Malcolm Jenkins said but you have to step in his shoes for a second and realize he was hurt in the moment as someone that's black.Drew took an ignorant stance.Glad he apologized and I forgive him,but he said it at the wrong moment where tensions are at an all time high and black people were hurt from the murders of people like Admaud Arbery,Breanna Taylor,and George Floyd.If you been through what we've been through you would be hurt too.

[@darrenjames4734]

@Joseph Van Horn It was the fact that he said he won't respect anyone that disrespects the flag when asked about his views on kneeling. Thats his views, but it offended me because he made it seem like anybody that kneels is disrespecting the flag and it's not about the flag, never been about the flag.It offended me as a black person cause the kneeling thing was our stance on racism and the Black Lives Matter Movement.That's why Colin Kaepernick kneeled because he didn't like what was going on in the world like Trump being in office and he lost his job cause of it.That's why so many people in the league kneeled because they believe in what us black people believe in and that is that America was worst when Trump got in office. That's why they kneel to support people like Breonna Taylor, George Floyd,Eric Gardner that died from police brutality.You probably won't understand unless you've been through what us black people have been through over 400 years.I forgiven him tho but that's why Michael Thomas and Malcolm Jenkins were pissed.

[@blakfloyd]

I hope you're at least old enough to remember some of the Joe Gibbs era.

[@blakfloyd]

Well now I just feel guilty for picking that scab further lol. Oddly enough, however, I'm a Saints fan and what you've experienced in your 31 years as a Skins fan is nearly identical to what I experienced as a Saints fan up to the year before we won the Super Bowl. Since 1993, the Skins have had just 2 division titles and 2 playoff wins. During my entire time following the Saints from 1988-2008, they only had 3 division titles and 2 playoff wins. Maybe things will change like Dan Snyder losing the team like Jerry Richardson lost the Panthers and y'all can have a real team again.

[@brandonc.6500]

@@blakfloyd Yeah it's actually pretty stressful to go through that many years of losing, and from my standpoint as a Skins fan be a loyal fan of such a dysfunctional organization. Never really followed NO as far as upper management but I respect what they're doing now and how they handle their business on and off the field. I have hope Ron can turn things around, won't be overnight but Danny boy needs to let the men run the team. Just in the last few months a lot of changes have been made and Washington is actually acting like a normal club in the NFL. It's like being a fan of a new team if that makes any sense because when Bruce and Vinny were running the team it felt like the wheels were always going to fall off year in and out. But I still feel like Snyder will always be the cancer of my Skins for as long as he's owner and it's highly unlikely he will ever relinquish the reigns of Washington for the foreseeable future.

[@blakfloyd]

@@brandonc.6500 Yeah, that's why I was proposing that y'all's only true hope is for him to have an egregious scandal like the Panthers' former owner did. NFL owners basically never sell unless it's to buy a different team.
