NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

No Drew Brees? Really???

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

The original air date was like 2009 or 2010 so Drew's 2011 season had yet to happen

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

The Original Air Date was December 3, 2011...

Drew Brees threw for 5,069 Passing yards, coming within a Marques Colston drop of breaking the then Marino record which was eventually broke a few years later (Any drop that season really cost the Team the record - Love Me Some Colston, Geaux C).

Brees also tied for the league lead with Rivers for PaTD.

Hard to understand how that season wasn't mentioned at that air date.

But ESPN is a bunch of New York Queens Blowhardts or Suckups to same...

So we basically have to whoop their @$$e$ and take back the Trophy and show them how to party with Mardi Gras!

Link?

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Had Drew played for NE, Dallas or any of the NY teams he's be the best in the world.

New Orleans isn't a big deal until we thunder punch people in thier face this year.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Wasn't it Lance Moore he was throwing to on the last play vs Carolina?

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Yep and the ball hit the floor before it even reached him, i preferred him getting the record in 2011 when we actually made the playoffs and were pretty much instoppable on offense

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

I remember discussing the record when a Marques Colston drop occured; that's why I say any drop that season cost the Team the record...

But if it was Lance, then we should trade his @$$!!! ;)

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

LOL!

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Well he'll I'm glad I fell asleep.... I missed it the first time ( wifey made me watch ITS COMPLICATED) then I saw that it would replay at 12:00 but I fell asleep

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

I just don't understand how a small market team can compete with the big markets for that kind of air time much less football..................

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Just found this thread.. The top 10 passing seasons is on NFL network right now.

They actually do have 2011 Brees on the list, he just doesn't have his own spot. He was mentioned on the #9 spot bunched with a couple other QBs. #9 on that list was named "The QBs of 2011"

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

2011 Saints are the Greatest Offense of ALL TIME PERIOD. If they want to look at different aspects of it so be it but it does not change
the above fact.

Drew Brees led the most explosive offense in the NFL to a 13-3 record this season and an NFC South title. Brees broke Dan Marino’s passing record, throwing for 5,476 yards and forty-six touchdowns. Brees also set NFL records for most completions in a season with 468, most 300-plus yard passing games in a season with 13, most 350-plus yard passing games with four, and a 71.2 percent completion percentage.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

All the records Brees has yet doesn't have a single MVP title (regular season); that my friend is a travesty.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Still don't think our 2011 offense was as good as the 07 Patriots. Just my opinion. I think our 2011 offense is one of the best, just not THE best.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Quantitative: 2011 Saints are #1
Qualitative: Anybody can be #1.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

They set records proving they were the best offense in the league, pretty much proves they are. Just my opinion.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

The league was also pretty different that year, in case you forgot. We almost didn't even have a 2011 season due to the lockout, but by the time the labor dispute was resolved, there was only a month left for teams to prepare to begin the season. I shouldn't have to tell you how much that hurt defenses across the league.

We do have a statistical advantage over the 07 Patriots, but numbers don't tell the whole story.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

I don't buy that, that sounds like some Atlanta fan logic saying the league gave us a Super-bowl in '09 because of Katrina :rolleyes:

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

...That doesn't sound similar at all.

"During the 18 week, 4 day period, there was no free agency and training camp, and players were restricted from seeing team doctors, entering or working out at team facilities, or communicating with coaches."

That's a fact. The lockout actually happened, and it ran into training camp and other OTAs.
How in the world does that even sound remotely similar to Falcon fan conspiracies?

Do you honestly believe the players didn't miss a beat, even though they didn't have those practices in April/May/June/majority of July?

That sounds highly improbable.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

But yet, we set the record for a bunch of offensive team stats, hell our defense was ranked 13th...

I guess everyone really suffered except us? Quit fishing for excuses...

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Funny how you left out the most important stat. What is the goal of the offense? To score points.
Total points scored:
2007 Patriots: 589
2011 Saints: 547

I'm really not sure why you are getting on my case though. I said the 2011 Saints offense is one of the best I've seen. Top 3, even. Just looking at it objectively, I can't call it #1.
And you're getting on my case because I'm calling the 2011 Saints offense one of the best in NFL history? Really?

Read this article. I realize it's from BleacherReport, but it still explains how defenses suffered from the lockout. NFL 2011: In the Post-Lockout Era, Lack of Defense, Injuries Plague the Season | Bleacher Report

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons . The identifier is passing, not points. Your going to have to create another thread.

Speaking of the lockout as a * we might as well do the same thing for Spygate which is also another fact. I would say bounty gate but nothing was ever proven beyond he said she said. It's not like buckets of evidence had to be destroyed or anything like Spygate.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Not picking sides here but trying to prove a point by referencing a Bleacher Report article is weak.

Re: NFL Network Top 10 Passing Seasons
 

Hey, I'm not disagreeing.

B/R is usually a pretty bad site, but I think that particular article proves its point fairly well.

I'm not basing my opinion off that article, fwiw. I didn't even know that article existed until today.
