When out of the box thinking works it's called brilliance; when it fails, a coaches integrity, heart, and intelligence are questioned. Nothing works all the time and some fans need to learn to take the bad with the good.

Trying not to be such a hypocrite has nothing to do with blind faith, but some need to recognize that the difference between a great coach and a bad coach is not always the outcome of a couple of risky plays.

Sean Payton is hands down the best coach this team has ever had and quite possibly will have for quite a while.

If you really do not like the QB and the coach, why are you a fan of that team? Colors? Mascot?

I mostly agree with this sentiment but you gotta admit the safe play calling to not lose games hasn't been working as of late. When the game was close in Atlanta back in November we ran a play to try to get the first down. It worked and allowed us to run out most of the clock. We don't do that in new England and we lose. We don't do it in Carolina and we lose.

I just expect Payton to realize what isn't working and correct it like he did with our LT and kicker. Playing not to lose isn't working.
