Obviously, winning is the #1 priority, and I realize the coaching staff isn't thinking about setting records. That said, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe our highest scoring game ever was 45 points (in a 51-45 loss to the Jets on 9/21/86).

Today, with 43 points on the board, we're on the Niners' 21 yard line and running down the clock, an easy FG is sitting right there, to set a new franchise record of 46 points in a single game...and we don't do it?! C'mon man!!!

Even still, exceptionally proud of the team's performance today. For those that don't realize, today is only the third time this millennium that we've broken 40 points!

11/27/03 vs Dallas 40-21
10/15/15 vs Houston 44-26
10/11/2020 vs San Fransisco 43-17
 
Of course as fans we all want to see more, more, more. The coaching staff has to prioritize winning and keeping their guys healthy.

The Saints got greedy in week one (without preseason) and Michael Thomas got injured on a play that shouldn't even have happened. And that's had huge ramifications for the beginning of their season so far.
 
You're right on winning but off on the most points element. That was probably most total points in a game. We've score more than 45 five times and hit 45 a couple.

Off the top of my head, we scored 50+ on the Jets in 90’s and the Cardinals on Thanksgiving in the 70’s.

Jets @ Miami

Miami opened at home versus the New York Jets and put 52 points on the board compared to the Jets 14 points. Miami finished the season 9-7

1977

That was perhaps the most fun season in franchise history, since it was such a surprisingly upbeat season after the 1976 debacle with a losing season and so many embarrassing off the field situations.

The Dolphins were 5 point underdog at St. Louis. But it was a positive energy spot as road game after a frustrating loss at Cincinnati the prior week

That MT injury is poetic justice. That and DVP becoming the best WR in the league after MT got his panties in a bunch over a FB comment. It's been perfect.

That 'lapped you' comment. Anybody else remember?
