'77 Falcons - 9 points per game, best in history, even though the offense was worst in the league and the opponent usually started around midfield...yards allowed per game, best ever 231, yards per play in a season - 3.7, best ever in nfl history...Pass defense allowed 1300 yards - for the year! 48 forced turnovers!
Their offense? maybe the worst ever - the kicker posted the worst scoring ever too - 7 FGs in 19 tries...If he was just an 80% kicker the Falcons would have had the best record in the league...
The moment that summed up the 1977 Falcons came when they played the Buffalo Bills in Week Five. The Falcons trailed 3-0 late in the fourth quarter when they blocked a punt and had a first down on the Buffalo 13-yard line. They ran four plays, was afraid to try a FG kick from even that close, failed to get a first down, and the game was over.
Note: MLB Nobis - NFL's all-time single season tackler - 294 in just 14 games, multi pro-bowls - Can't get in the HOF...or DE Claude Humphrey...or any Atlanta player in any sport...Hammerin' Hank Aaron, Dominique "Human Highlight Reel" Wilkins, Neon Deon, Dale Murphy (most MVPs), Lou Hudson, Jesse Tuggle...yet even Harry freakin' Carson gets in at LB, just for starting the Gatorade shower thing? ... ofcourse he played in NY...but no one can argue that there is a northeastern bias. <sarcasm>
