Payton on Sirius this morning
I was listing on the way home form work this morning when Payton came on. I can't type word for word so I will just do my best to tell you what he said.

To start he thought we played well on D for the most part except for one play. That one play sticks in his mind and he said he can't get past it. That play was Smith getting the 1st down on a 3rd and 10 in the final drive for the game winning field goal. (I think I remember that was Thomas defending)

Then he went into all the dropped passes without naming names. Talked about the drop that became an interception, noted about 4 - 5 drops in the red zone that cost us. mentioned the penalty on Brown (did not say it was BS like I thought it was) and that we kept hurting ourselves in the red zone.

Talked about our kicking game and said that we have to get the points when we are in field goal range. Then went back to the wide receivers and said that he has a stable of WR and will make changes to correct the problem and at kicker as well. Said to him it is insanity to keep doing the same thing with out making changes and expect a different outcome. Said certain people had been warned about poor play and he will do what is necessary.

Said the staff is to talented to continue to allow the miscues and mistakes that are happening. He said he felt that he has the right guy under center and that it is people around him that are not living up to their part. He said he thought the O line played much better and he thought the D played well for the most part. Said we have a very tough game against the Seahawks coming up and that he has a lot to fix.

To me it sounds like Mare and Henderson are done. I don't know if he can find a kicker at this time of the year be he sounds like he doesn't care about dropping Henderson and starting someone else.
