Payton, it was on you.

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; What on earth possessed Payton to go for a pass play? Surely if we ran the ball we would have still been in field goal range, the clock would have run down more and they would have needed a touchdown ...

No, if we hit a field goal (which we were just in range for) we would have been up by 4, making the Browns go for a TD and not just a field goal.

Right, but they got to our 11 yard line anyway, and if we kick off they don't start at their 4 yard line. So no way, he made the right call

No that's absurd ... Ingram is averaging 10 YPC and we get cute ? He runs it to get us back in it then throws it in the red zone. Like I said even if the passes work at times , it's only asking for trouble.


Ingram and Robinson deserve a better team. Hell Bush and Ivory are succeeding elsewhere I'm sure they will too.

SP what's your deal ? This ain't arena

Re: Payton, it was on you.

Agree with spkb. Why in the world would we not go for a first down? No problem at all throwing it there. Fact is our defense allowed the browns to go 85 yards at the end of the game. SP wasn't on the field with this pathetic defense.

Idiotic logic ... Take away Cleveland's pick 6 as we should've been running it anyway and this game is over. We throw WAAAAAAAY TO FRICKIN MUCH

If we hit a field goal we would have had to kick off, resulting in a completely different drive, your point is invalid.

i did not see any scheme changes on defense from last week. 5 - 10 - 15 yard cushions? ok we have no faith in the secondary at all. we are chicken

granted the way we were running the ball has to make one wonder. but PT did miss that pick up. in his defense the center and the guard did a double team up front which was a bit of a surprise. so some one was on the wrong page and it appears to be pT.
