Thoughts on Going for it on 4th down in the 3rd

Man, I guess if Ambush had not worked out we would all still be calling for SP's head. BTW, we had a similar situation earlier in the game when Drew went deep to Meech on 3rd and 1. Good thing that worked out or we would be questioning that one as well.

You win some you lose some.

Not me. I'd still like Sean if ambush had gone the other way.

I love the fact that they lined up across from a freakin freight train and tried.

That is why I have so much respect for our team.

Sometimes when you gamble you lose.........it's that simple.

Deciding to go for it wasn't the problem.
It was the play used to try it.

In terms of which plays really lost it for us; they were mainly our D on their O. We did not hold them up enough.

In that situation, I'd like to see our offense rush to the line and catch the D off guard.

I have no problem with the decisions or the play calls. same decisions and play calls he made two years ago. The difference is that two years ago, we executed better.

Nobody minded the onside kick in the Superbowl?

And obviously our top two guards needed some creative playcalling as they were having trouble moving Mt Raji...

I'd live and die as a fan of Sean Payton as our Coach than geaux back to the percentage playing of Jim Mora...

Can you imagine the second guessing if that play would have cost us the Superbowl?
