Didn't realize the 2009 team was so poorly ranked defensively.

We got turnovers. If you can win those you will win alot.

2011 people said we had a good defense. You could see we didn't. We weren't getting the turnovers and we would give up big plays to often. SF drove down the field like we weren't even there

We have the best defense in the NFL. We aren't seeing an early exit.

I'd add to 2011 passing yards from teams trying to keep pace /garbage time were a factor. We were rolling teams left and right that year. Look at the discrepancy between pass D and rush D.

2011 offense was absurd. Crazy to think it was before greats like MT13 and AK41 came along.

More importantly, so you’re telling me this season is the best defense we’ve ever brought into the playoffs for Brees?

SCHWING!!
