What was the best Saints team ever? (1 Viewer)

[RJ in Lafayette]

The 2018 and 2019 teams were very talented but, in this discussion, cannot be placed at the top of the list because of injuries at the end of each season, below average receivers, and an underachieving secondary.

In 2009, the secondary played well with the best pair of cornerbacks in team history and Sharper. The 2009 and 2011 teams featured so many weapons on offense--especially compared to the 2018 and 2019 teams. And again, there is the underachieving secondary, which has killed us at the end of the first half and games in the playoffs for two straight years.

The trophy case says 2009. Anything else is opinion.

Lol you can’t disagree with that !

2011 was just sexy but in the end that defense wasn’t as good as 09

Was the 2011 beating by San Fran fair?

Thing about these San Fran teams under Harbaugh is they were dirty, Ravens under the other Harbaugh is the same, why they were known for defenses, like usual most of it just get swept under the rug by the officiating crews. About the same time they were trying to get the Saints for the alledged bounty to.

When it comes to the NFL, NFL is going to get what they want.

How did they get robbed in 2011? That was clearly on coaching.

Well first they knocked out PT with this helmet to helmet hit that wasn‘t called. There were (just going off my bad memory) about 15-20 other penalties that didn’t get called. To put the dagger in we couldn’t tackle Vernon Davis.
