Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

What NFL team allowed the fewest points ever in a 14 game season?



The 1977 Atlanta Falcons "Grits Blitz" Defense. They allowed only 129 points which averages out to 9.2 per game. The Greatest defense of all time.

Star-divide

Good morning fellow Falcoholics! the reason for my post today is that I see this on number (129) on the wall of my media room almost daily and I wasn't sure that everyone was aware of it. This is a great accomplishment and something that nobody can ever take away from this team. The reason I see this every day is that I have a plaque on my wall with this number on it. It says 129 club and was presented to everyone connected to the team that year. I got mine at an on line estate sale of someone who used to work for the Falcons. It has her name on it, but it is so cool that I don't really care. It is also signed on the back by the swamp fox himself. If I think about it I will scan it and post a pic of it here some time. It is pretty simple but still very cool. Just wanted to post a positive as I am sure a lot of folks here see a lot of negatives from me at times.

If

my bad short term memory allows me to remember to do it I will. i am hoping to get that done this weekend. I also have a cover of “The Falcon” that has a pic of Claude Humphrey on it that everyone needs to see. He had so many pads taped to his arms it is crazy. Knee pads, elbow pads, his arms are covered from the shoulder to the wrist. I wouldn’t want the guy in that pic coming after me.

I love the one of Claude

He looks like he’s about to lay one of those vicious headslaps on someone

Who would have thought

 I’ve been a Falcons fan since 1966. Did’nt know that we had that Honor. Internet has taught me a lot. Thanks Hardcore Falcon. Something to add to my Ga. sports talking points. Who would have thought? Awsome.
