“Yes.”

It wasn’t just a ploy to get them to use the timeout?
“No. It was a fake. You know that one of two things is going to happen: you’re going to get a chance to run it and see how it looks or you’re going to get a timeout, and they called the timeout.”

My first thought was that they were going to go for it. Then I thought .....no......wait they are trying to get an off sides call. Then when Peyton said he meant to do it I believed him. For anyone that hasn't read Home Team I highly recommend it. It gives you a ton of insight as to how Sean Payton thinks and how he plays the percentages.

No one knows how Payton thinks.

Even the Shadow says, "Hell, I give up. I dont know what dude is thinking."
