Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

I dont think they were called to be honest. Just a theory, but the pressure was so bad, I think they started adding a screen as an option, and Brees used that option instead of throwing down field. I saw the Wr's going down field in patterns and not blocking. So, thats all I can come up with.
If we did call that many screens on purpose, I am wondering more, where was the blocking ? PT was infront of most of the blockers it seemed. Though I might be remembering wrong.

Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

A lot of the screens, the LB's just out ran the blocking linemen. That's what having fast LB's does for you...

Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

yeah, they were very fast

Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

I'm not. Man knows what he's doing. Remember it was loomis who gave Brees that contract and sold our oline for it. What did piss me off though is that after the game he was going on and on about how well they played and that they did a really good job and if they continue playing like that they will be fine. Pisses me off how he didn't hold anyone accountable and was talking like we won the game.

Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

When Payton first showed up in 2006, he built this team around the offense,which was built around Brees. The second most important thing he set in place was the O- line to protect Brees. We've had a fine O line for years which gave us a consistant and productive offense up until the offseason when Brees wanted his payload. We lost Nicks and Kromer the following year and replaced them with mediocre linemen and a new o line coach. The only good offensive game we've had were when the O line did their job. Its not hard to see where our weakness is this year. If you fix the O line, our offense will be dominant again. I just dont get why Payton knowing that, let the O line get to this point.

Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

Well he might be looking long term. I dont think anyone is afraid of the panthers in the playoffs. In fact Im sure many teams are happy they might be in. SP's head might already be in the playoffs, and thinking about what is needed.
I dont understand the optimism either. Our offense really looks bad. Which is really disapointing because we might have a good D for the 1st time.

I feel about Sean Payton the same way I feel about my wife. I love him, almost unconditionally, but about 50% of the time I want to kill him and bury him in my backyard.

lol

Re: I am almost done with Payton
 

Interesting... I wonder how many people remember what this organization looked like Pre-Payton & Brees? I'd watch what you ask for...

"I am almost done with Payton."

No no. No. That is not the answer.
