We run it for just a few yards and we kick a very makeable FG for the win. |

It is not all on Payton, but he sure as hell isn't blameless in this mess.

Re: Payton, it was on you.
It's Payton to blame because look at the team's road record over the last 13 games. The last 5 in particular. Look at his and Brees' road playoff record overall since 2006. To get to the Super Bowl, the Saints have to get home field. To get to the playoffs and get home field, you have to win games on the road during the season. But he can't win on the road. Catch-22. Recipe for being perpetually outside looking in. We've known this since Chicago 2006. Even with the best offense in history, Payton couldn't win on the road in the playoffs.

Re: Payton, it was on you.
It would seem that some fans are not sure of what exactly they believe.
I see it as somewhat of a conflict to say on one breath that we should be less predictable then on the following breath exclaim shock that Sean Payton didn't do the normal for down and distance. Cant have it both ways.... |

Re: Payton, it was on you.
Folks, you can say whatever you want. Everyone is upset and rightfully so. We have officially become irrelevant and it seems the window is closing on this team. We are not going to play in another Super Bowl in the near future. The team & the coaches have become complacent. Teams are on to us because we have nothing new or fresh to show. The defense can't find their ass. Maybe this is what you get from Rob Ryan in his second year. Loosing games this close means you can't close a game.

Re: Payton, it was on you.
With Ingram averaging 8+ yrds. a carry, 11 touches is not nearly enough. I would have liked to seen 20+ carries out of him today. Say whatever but the passing game sometimes against a stingy D just don't wear a D down enough to open the pass up. If the run is working run, if the pass is working pass. Brees throwing 40 passes completing 28 thats 12 missed passes, I wonder what Ingram and PT would do with those touches and burning up the clock. Ryan better get his stuff togather soon!!
