Remember the 1973 season? John North made his debut as head coach of the Saints.

It did not go well.

The Falcons demolished the Saints 62-7 as Atlanta head coach Norm Van Brocklin gleefully enjoyed running up the score on a day when Atlanta intercepted Archie Manning five times.

Leading 45-7, Atlanta had Nick Mike-Mayer kick a 45-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Then, reserve quarterback Bob Lee threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to LSU’s Eddie Ray to make it 55-7 before a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Ray accounted for the final score. The Falcons kept trying to score. There were no apologies.

North, a class act, handled the beating and clear running up of the score with class and dignity and moved on. At one point, the Saints won four of five games after starting 0-3 and finished 5-9, losing the season finale in narrow fashion, 14-10 at Atlanta in the rematch.

When did the NFL become so soft? The game is 60 minutes and you play till the final gun. Well at one time they did. No one would have said a word if Sean Payton were coach. He probably would have gone for 2 after!!

Dennis Allen should have been fired like Arthur Smith was!! How does it feel Failclowns?
