The real funny thing is..your bragging about placing 27th and lower in a catagory...

the only thing i found we ranked last in was yards allowed per game. Time defense was on the field was pretty high though.

I\'ve shown you facts that haven\'t been altered showing that the defense could be ranked 9th taking 10 out of 16 games where they were a full touchdown better than their overall average

That\'s called..picking and choosing....taking certain games out..and..whatever man....it\'s false...it\'s modified...the facts are..32nd rank...LAST..

you can try to twist it around..take this here..and move this there..but..when you get down to the FACTS...DEAD LAST IN NEARLY EVERY SINGLE CATAGORY ....

Here\'s a real test...

We can ask people from other boards..if the Saints Defense was bad..bad enough to hinder the progress of the Offense...

If bieng 32nd ranked can be modified to make them a better Defense than they actually appear...by taking out this game..and this drive..and this play...and only looking at the very few times they actually managed to show up...

Of course..there\'s no way you would do it...you would be laughed out of the Net...haha

And it would be a waste of my time..as I know..what the end result would be...and so do you...

Dead last in nearly every single catagory or nearly dead last in every single catagory. It\'s your quote.

nearly dead last...almost .....thats the definiton of nearly..almost...not quite...very close...

I fail to see where I contradict myself....

We were either dead last..or very near it..in NEARLY every single catagory...

That\'s what i said..your right...

Then you post Stats to solidify my position further...thanks for the help..but..it was unnecessary

As I said..The Stats speak for themselves

Think the reason we were outscored so much during the 1st quarter of NEARLY all our games may have been due to the fact we were giving up over 140 yards on the ground on average?

Kinda hard to score when you can\'t take the Field...

yeah the stats say the defense was bad. That was never questioned. How bad the defense was compared to the padded stats of the offense is what is in question. We can pass 10 times for 300 yards and not score and the yards look great but the fumbles and the ints and the three and outs tell a differnt story. The defense didn\'t have a chance to win a game because the offense couldn\'t get on the board. Defnse wins games yeah but you still need to score to win. And the offense couldn\'t get it started until late when the padding started. Ball control would have helped alot.
