Saintsreport cracks me up.

What is also funny is that i went back and forth in the off season debating that the Saints defense would suck this year and that Spags was not the great defensive mind he was reported to be. I also said they would finish last in the division and that losing Payton would be a huge blow to the team.

Seems I was right on all counts.

*Panthers drop 993 yards on Saints, sweep them in the division, worst defense in history*

"but but we didn't have our offensive genius!"

lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Before the 2012 Saints established themselves as the worst defense in the history of the NFL during the last week of the season, the 1981 Baltimore Colts held the record for giving up 6793 yards.

Did you know that Joe Vitt, New Orleans Saints current interim head coach, was also a defensive coach for those same Baltimore Colts in 1981?

I did not and that's hilarious.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
