When Payton opted to kick on 1st down, I was happy...didn't want to take a chance on a fumble or a pick. When he missed, I changed my mind.
Hindsight is 20/20. |

I'd rather have the ball in Brees' hands for 3 more plays than a shaky kicker for one. |

your taking about a shaky kicker that made a clutch kick in the NFC champs game. I mean there is a 95% or more that most kickers make that kick.

I trust Brees and his boys on 1st down at the 12 more than just about any kicker. |

I didn't consider him shaky until after today. He kicked us into the SB...and didn't he kick the winning kick only last week?
