New Orleans Saints make NFL history breaking record for most single-season yardage allowed

SmashMouth · 12-30-2012, 04:52 PM

Last season, the New Orleans Saints were chasing numerous NFL single-season offensive yardage records. This year, the defense made its own yardage history Sunday as the Saints became the single-season record holder for most yards allowed in NFL history.

The Saints passed the 1981 Baltimore Colts as the worst in total defense for one season in league history with less than two minutes remaining in the first half on an 11-yard catch by Panthers tight end Greg Olsen. The Colts allowed 6,793 yards in 1981.

We obviously don't have the right equipment in the locker room.

Great....first Walter Peyton and now this. Very distinguished.

You know, when my grandmother said, "Whatever you do, be the best at it," I don't think this is what she had in mind.

With SP coming back, all I can say is, you bet he has had his own dvd of each game and his notes, on each coach and player.
You be he has been studying each of them and opponents.
I am hopeful here.
No, he could not make have communication with Saints 's club, but he has been working on his own and come Tuesday, some people might be out of a job....might be getting a call from the BOSS!!!!

couple guys I think that should be on the chopping block is Gregg McMahon and whoever is our secondary coach.

McMahon for a long time has been a weakness on our team at Special Teams, seemingly each season it gets worse.

Had high hopes for the Defense this year.

skymike · 12-31-2012, 08:44 AM

well good, maybe we can AFFORD them next year.
Since we've already blown 100 million on one player.
I guess I should be impressed by all those garbage time passing statistics.
statistics, yea!!!!!

It is what it is, I guess ... own it and move on, I suppose. We could be the Jaguars, or the Chiefs ... the Eagles, the Jets or the Lions. Sometimes you just gotta' count your blessings ...

Awesome. Certainly not the kind of records we have been setting over the last few seasons.
