It looks like the coaches have lost the Payton philosophy. How can you be with Payton for 4-5years and not learn anything?

In order to save any part of this season Spags will have to change his philosopy. He needs to realize what he is doing is not working.

Yup. Only once in the whole 4th quarter and OT though. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. He did not do much in the first half, the whole running game did not do well. But on his 2nd half runs Pierre got 3, 3, 5, and -1 yards, until they stopped. So...I dunno, my impression is that he was not exactly lighting the world on fire, not having a big day, but he was kinda showing signs of improving his yardage, as the game went on. With 9:11 left in the 4th, up 24-19, and Pierre becomes Mr. Invisible after that point. I wish I had more time to dig in and figure out what's really going on with this. That was a really spectacular 2nd half collapse by the offense. We had no answer for closing out the game.
