http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/Articles/7_1204_Worst_run_defenses_in_NFL_history.html
This article was published in 2007.
Looking at the Redskins rushing statistics thus far this season:
332 attempts, 1364 yards, 5.0 per attempt.
That puts us JUST off the pace for one of the worst 18 rush defenses in NFL history.
As far as pass defenses go, these are statistically the worst in history according to this: http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/12722/the-worst-pass-defense-in-nfl-history
1995 Atlanta Falcons 4,541
2005 San Francisco 49ers 4,427
1986 New York Jets 4,389
We're currently at 3,124 yards passing allowed. Four games left. I think we're safe to not crack the top three, here, at least.
According to this site http://www.rauzulusstreet.com/football/nflrecords/teamnetyardsallowed.htm
These are the most yards allowed in a season.
6,793 Baltimore 1981
6,403 Green Bay 1983
6,391 Seattle 2000
6,352 Minnesota 1984
Right now, we've allowed 4768 yards. If we allow 300 yards a game the rest of the way, that's putting us at 5968 and just off the pace.
As far as most points allowed goes, the 1981 Baltimore Colts allowed 533 points. It looks like we're safe there, only allowed 293 points this year so far. That may save us from being one of the worst defenses of all time.
I just thought this was interesting. Don't really have a point here other than our defense sucks
