Payton cuts bye week short
 

5. New Orleans Saints (5-1) – Calling his team back one day early from the bye week vacation was a pretty smart move for coach Sean Payton. The Saints can't afford to slip now with a ridiculous schedule left in front of them. Seven of the schedule's final 10 games should be against playoff contending teams.

that sums it up well

If nothing else, if we make the playoffs this year with this scheduel, there will be no more "Are the Saints for real" talk

Sounds like Payton knows what it will take to finish the season strong.
I don't know for sure but I bet the players were ready to get back on the field even though they lost a day to be with their families, their all in this together it seems.

Somebody at my work was talking that Parcells must really be missing Paytons playbook after seeing all the mayhem at his games.
Was Payton that good on the play calling that Parcells really misses him???!!!
Of course, my coworker is really licking his chops because he is a Carolina Panthers fan and they have Dallas Sunday night.

Before this season a lot of us didn't know much about Sean Payton, how things have changed in less than a year.
Benson took away a good coach from Parcell's, the Cowboys offense is horrible right now and the Saints are 5-1
