Defending Sean Payton: Fake field goal was the right call

Bad call, just a bad call.

IF you are planning on going on 4th, then you have to have a strategy for the whole series. There's 2:23 to go, second and 7. Two incomplete passes take no time or timeouts off the clock, and we don't even get to the 2 minute warning.

Think how different even 1 running play would have been. More time, plus a time out. Not to mention we ran better in the second half.

I have no problem with going for it and leaving the ball inside the 20 with 2 minutes to go. I'd just rather see guys like Brees, Colston, PT and Bush on the field, not Brunnell and Dinkins.
