Do you think we would've won without Payton on the sideline?
 

I say "No"

It sure was nice ...i like when he beat the ref upside the head with his crutch...lol..and pointed it at Mike Smith and a lazor shot out and said go for it...lol

Felt sorry for him, crutches really stink, even his " state of the art" crutches and boot.

I'm sure it made a difference. SP on the sideline is how we roll and I'd be willing to bet we'd be 8-2 if not for his injury.

I am sure it made a difference too...

Def made a huge difference.

I'm sure it made a difference, his swagger alone has been missed the last couple weeks, I doubt there is any coach in the league that would be signaling first downs with their crutches besides Sean

Having their coach, boss, right there makes a difference. Having him be able right there to look at players, talk to them and the other coaches, talk to the referees, see everything right as it happens or is about to happen and maybe changing his mind right there, all of it makes a difference having his presence there.
Communication by headset, era pieces is ok, but, no, your head coach needs to be right there.
Yes, I think it made a difference.
