Sean Payton Brain Fart

I figured some of you might have a problem with this, but the fact remains that playoff games are often decided by a single play, penalty, or coaching decision. Gotta tighten it up a bit.

He had a Senior moment, everybody in the stadium was like... HUH!!!

We know he won't make a bone headed play like that in the clutch... He will see things that will get us over the hump... Like in the Championship Game vs Minnesota...

The penalty was a miscue... I would have not squibbed before the 1/2 regardless of who is taking the kickoff. Almost doesn't count but squibbing and giving them time to get into field goal range does. At that point in the game it was about not letting them gain any confidence since it was 21-6.

If football is a "game of inches", why would you give back 72?

Defensive holding is an automatic 1st and 10, not a 1st and 5. As a coach, you have to be confident you can get 3 yards in 2 tries to get a 1st down, which effectively gives you an extra play or 2, and consumes more time off the clock.

I don't see the issue here.

Yeah, that was kind of a wtf moment. Also, wasn't a fan of the calls when we were on the inch line. We do one fullback dive and then abandon the run.

In the grand scheme of things, none of these things are that worrisome. Overall, it was a very well coached game. Carolina had no answers on offense or defense for what we wanted to do to them.

He had Drew and Meachem in his fantasy league.

To me the biggest brain fart was dropping in a prevent on Carolina's 4th and goal from the 17.

I saw the prevent alignment and was 100% certain it would result in a TD.

Worst defensive play in football.

I was quite fine with the 2nd-and-3. Collinsworth made WAY too big of a deal whining about it. 2nd and 3 should be very convertible by our offense ... a decent running play in any direction or a simple out by Graham, our WR's or Sproles should pick up that 3 yards easily. Gotta give the Carolina D props on holding us in that situation.

one day coach p may be as perfect as all of you.

the main thing to remember is YOU will never have a super bowl ring.
