Did Payton disrespect Falcons?

mikesaintfan · 12-29-2011, 07:24 AM

atlanta went for it on 4th down and got stopped....if they had punted the ball, Drew could have thrown for the 30 or so yards and then ran the clock out without scoring...BUT they decided to try to still be competitive in the game so they get what they get...going for it on 4th down means your still trying to win the game so why should SP not continue to call plays designed to win the game
F*** mike smith

Excactly they went for it on 4th down when the game was over because they did not want Drew to break the record against them. Scoring the last TD had nothing to do with them being pissed!

No. Drew was too close to the record and nobody even knew if he would be playing the next week. Also, it was the perfect time to set the record. The game had been decided, which meant you could stop and let the team and fans celebrate the accomplishment. Tell me what coach at any level would have kneed the game out with 5 minutes left under the same circumstances. ... and keep in mind, atlanta had yet to throw in the towel. THEY were still playing.

People just need to realize, it doesn't matter what Drew or the Saints do or accomplish, including Super Bowls, records, and wins, people "out there" are always not going to like it. The guy simply cannot catch a break. If they had pulled Drew it would have been articles saying the exact opposite, about "why didn't Payton keep him in to go for the record?" and that the Saints must be weak or are going to slip because they didn't keep Drew in.

People "out there" just like hating on the Saints, and trying to tear them down, because the Saints and New Orleans were not invited to the media's little party of sculpted media stories and pet favorites... Drew was the guy they ALL wrote off, and frankly a lot of people DON'T LIKE THE CITY, either, so there's no room in these guys' imaginary story line for the Saints to be good or be a favorite. Once you recognize that fact, and make your peace with it, that no matter WHAT Drew or the Saints do they will NEVER get acclaim or respect from these people, then you will feel MUCH better as a Saints fan about all the wonderful things this team has accomplished over the last few years.

I remember saying a long time ago that while the Saints were going through a bad spell ('67-2005) people used to like them...They were lovable losers, good ol' triers and plucky underdogs, but they knew their place. You can play Dallas, Pittsburgh etc. but don't get ideas above your station! Now we've climbed out of the pit and are standing shoulder to shoulder with the best there are people that have taken a dislike to us. A little like the stable boy who is well liked then comes into some money, starts living well and is ignored because he is 'not one of us'. Well too bad, NFL. Just deal with it and if you don't want us to win, stop us!

In professional sports, you disrespect an opponent by showboating, by playing your backups, by basically deliberately underperforming.

Did you take the poll on this article? Most people agree with us...stop whining, Falbabies!

OldMaid · 12-29-2011, 02:56 PM

No.

Michigan_SF · 12-29-2011, 06:14 PM

The Failcons and a few others have disrespected the NFL by coming unprepared. How many times do we have to take Brees out of a game? He deserves to play.

Danno · 12-29-2011, 06:19 PM

Again...

1973 in New Orleans
Falcons 63
Saints 7

Now STFU... again.
