OK...I've seen a lot of football this weekend (or heard, if I was on the road) and I may be mistaken...but it seems to me that I heard that Payton sent the FG team out there with 9 seconds left on the clock and one time out. They said he was kicking from the right hash-mark (was listening on radio) and it seems like I remember telling my wife that Payton blew it because he had time to set the ball up in the middle and then call TO and then kick it. Was this the case? If so, Payton needs to take some of the blame, IMO...along with the fact that he made the same mistake twice by getting rid of Carney. Oh well...alls well that ends well and maybe, just maybe, Hartley has gotten all of his misses out of his system.

I was surprised when Payton cut Carney. He must have thought that Hartley had what it takes to be a very good kicker.

If we dont show faith in him he wont have faith in himself. Then he's really gonna shank kicks

Much rather him miss now than in the PO. It would have been nice for him to redeem himself in OT, but just didn't get the chance. Maybe next time.

How about Moorestead? Let him kick the field goals too! J/k, I'm willing to give anyone more chances. I have made my mistakes too.

You may well find Morstead kicking a very long one, one day. I believe, Saints are trying to keep him away from FG attempts at the mo.
