Why doesnt any one see the irony of us allowing 25 points a gm.

for the record, points per game our opponents are ranked:
NO 29th
StL 9th
Cin 21st(not bottom 5 as you claimed)
TB. 17th
Atl. 8th

We scored 24 or more in each game (I know the d could be credited with a td in each game but unless you want to start defending the defense lets table that part)
conversely Minnesota has reached 30 only once and there opponents d's ranks aren't much different:
Jac 24th
Ind. 23rd
SF. 1st
Det. 26th (2tds were long special teams returns)
Tenn. 31st (incidentally the only team Minnesota scored 30 against)

edit: changed rankings from total points to points per game to account for bye weeks. stats from espn.com

As for the irony of the D, I dont really see it as ironic. Shanahan historically has weak d's, we have lost several key players, and we knew our secondary was a weakness going into the season. Shanahan and Haslett should be accountable for that part at seasons end.
