’Tis the season when football fans break out their favorite team jerseys, claim a table at the neighborhood bar—and, post-game, hit the comments sections in order to figure out what went wrong.

Of course, some of these missives are better written than others. Earlier this year, The Wall Street Journal’s sports blog, The Count, decided to put online grammar tool Grammarly to work, analyzing the writing skills of each NFL fan base. (Grammarly’s algorithms can recognize more than 400 different kinds of spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors.)

The Count combed through 150 comments, each at least 50 words long, posted on individual team sites (that breaks down to almost 13,000 words per team). Their findings: Washington Redskins fans made 16.5 mistakes per 100 words—“roughly 30 percent worse than New Orleans Saints fans, the NFL’s second most typo-prone fan base,” writes author Geoff Foster. On the flip side, Detroit Lions fans made only 4.2 errors per every 100 words typed.

 

So the NFC South lines up as:

Panthers 6.6 (grammar errors per 100 words)

Falcons 8.0

Buccaneers 11.5

Saints 12.4

Gosh... who didn't know the Saints would be as dumb as poo?  What a surprise lol.

P.S. As an Auburn alum and died-in-the-wool Auburn fan, it is incumbent upon me to mention that in the college version of these rankings, Auburn ended up ranking the best in the country, having the fewest grammar errors.  So, apparently, also being a Panther's fan, I'm pretty hot stuff and smart as heck. :P

I attribute Huddleisms like "Skronghold" for the skewing of this data.

There's absolutely no way that Browns and Cowboys fan are ranked better than us in this.

Except that the article is dated September 14, 2015?

The article on the Wall Street Journal website was posted back in April.  Which is where your original article you posted was basically copied from.  FYI.

I understand the Jets, Jags, Browns, being so low. Their fans only say one liners like. "Damn it!" or "Why (Player name)" and "fug me." Oh and "Come on April!" and of course "Oh no we suck again.".

But using Alice logic the Saints are actually #2 only behind the Redskins. That's 17 spots higher ranked than the Panthers. Also, Saints fans just got the internet in 2010 so its to be expected that they'd be that high.

 Sew, wee r above averige.

Philly is lowering the number all by himself.

We needed quantitative data to prove Saints fans are stupid?
