It's now all on Payton
 

It was Payton's decision to rest everybody with any type of skill until he ran out of spots on the bench (hence, Meachem played the whole game) and conceding the 0-3 finish. So now it's on you, Coach. I hope you have some aggressively creative play calling, line-up changes, and strategy that no one but you knows about ready in 2 weeks. I'm not doubting you, I'm just sayin'.

I agree G-Man. I'm the one that kept yelling to put Brees in during the live chat. This game was easily winable. The Saints just pissed it away. They weren't even trying to win. Sean Peyton better have a damn good game plan two weeks from now.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

This was not the usual game for protecting starters. We haven't won in 3
weeks, and haven't played confidently in 5 weeks. That's hardly the time
to protect starters. Personally, I think Payton squandered a game that we
could have used to get back on track and gained confidence. If we looked
that bad against a mediocre CAR team, just think how we will look against
DAL or PHI in the playoff game.

I still have hope, which is in the nature of a long time Saints fan.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

Ok, now the game is behind us it's time for Sean to show us. He better have us ready to play. we should have everyone back, so GEAUX Sean GEAUX . show us the magic.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

Sean is like our big Toe

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

We don't want to see Dallas again, they dismantled the eagles, beat them worse than they beat us. I think we have a chance against Vikings.

It's not so much Payton as it is Williams. The defense can't stop the run, and everyone knows about it. Hopefully they can improve the tackling over the next few weeks and we can somehow trick em on defense, cuz it doesn't look like we can roll over them.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

We could either see Dallas or Eagles.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

It doesn't matter who we see, Payton will have the team ready. We get up for big games and you know Brees will be ready for the spotlight.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

im not sure how the playoffs scheduling goes, but since dallas is the #3 seed, we probably wont play them in the 2nd round. because the #1 seed usually gets the lowest seed winner of the first round. and if dallas wins, they'll be the highest seed winner in the first round which mean they would get minnesota. is this correct? anyone know?

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

That we just stubbed on the coffee table on the middle of the night! :doh:

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

Only way the Saints play the Cowboys would be in the NFCCG since they are the 3rd seed

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

That's correct. If the Eagles win, we definitely play them, since they're the lowest seed. If *heaven forbid* Dallas wins, we play the winner of GB-AZ.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

You right G area code.
It is on SP now.
Get it done SP.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

Payton will play a BIG part, but its still about the guys on the field making plays. Execution is key. Fundamentals are ALWAYS key. Tackles have to be made, drives have to be sustained, pressure has to be applied, and even guesses have to be right. Each man will have to control his man and let the results speak for themselves. We have to step it up and control the line of scrimmage, Payton nor Williams can't do that. Bad calls and the like have to be made insignificant by outstanding workmanship (big lead). Payton has two weeks to get them ready.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

And keep the penalties to a minimum! Especially the stupid penalties (off sides, personal fouls). Don't give the refs any reason to throw a flag!!! Play tough, but play smart.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

You sound like a little girl. Enough with this placing blame on SP before the team ever plays the game.

I guess this is the thanks he gets for his team wrapping up the #1 seed early.

Oh, and the "just sayin'" crap is annoying too. If you want to sound cute find some line that is not being used on every other post on the internet.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

u gotta love playoff time, especially when the saints r in. its a total rush. with that being said, i think we're going to win at least our first game. no matter who we play! im not asking to be bombarded from u ppl, with all the things that are goin wrong right now. i kno we have issues. but i believe our team will come out focused and just as fired up as they have ever been before! WRITE IT DOWN!!!!

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

we won't see dallas now not till maybe championship game,if eagles win we see eagles if dallas wins we see winner of cards and packers,if minny beats dallas we get them in championship game

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

im pretty sure payton will have a few tricks up his sleeve... I head they he had to get a stand made to hold up the play sheet for the game..... ha

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

Whoa, dude, calm down. We all on the same team. Save it for the opponent.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

LOL, I was just in a mood. I have to work to suppress the troll in me.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

Sgnt Hulka....that would be AWESOMEEEEE if your avatar was my center and I was a QB

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

It's not all on Payton. But the team needs to execute his game plans to make the most of where we are now.

Re: It's now all on Payton
 

That's kind of what I'm worried about. I just hope there's not a tripple reverse, half-back pass to the tackle-eligible pulling guard. IT'S PLAYOFF TIME! You can get away with a lot of TomFoolery and you can fool some of the people some of the time...BUT IT'S PLAYOFF TIME. Use you weapons-YES! Keep you opponent off balance-YES! Put your people in position to make plays-YES! Stupid stuff? Unh-Unh! Keep it simple, diverse, but simple: Run and block, pitch and catch.
