Also, I don't think they were the worst defense in the history of the NFL - they weren't probably even the worst defense this season, because the Titans' defense was just plain awful as well. IMO, the honor of being the worst defense in the history of the league goes to the 1981 Baltimore Colts, because they allowed the most points ever in a 16 game season. To me points allowed is far more condemning than yards allowed, because you can allow as many yards as possible to the other team, but if you won't let them score on you - it's hard to lose the game. |

Re: Revis available?
He'd be an okay addition except we could never afford him.

Re: Revis available?
Do not want. He wants to be paid like an elite quarterback. I don't care how good he is, if I'm going to spend that type of money, it's certainly not on a corner.

Re: Revis available?
I don't think you guys can afford him. The last time I checked, you guys were over the cap by 14 mil. Somewhere around that.

Re: Revis available?
Because I'm not worried. If anything, I'm optimistic about the Falcons and what we could do next season.
