Head scratcher.

Loomis or Benson should ask Peyton if he actually thought Thomas Morstead was the best player on the Saints roster to pick up that 4th & 9.

If he answers Yes, then he should be fired on the spot.

Y'all do realize, it's actually Greg McMahon's job with the special teams plays and execution?

That piss poor play is pretty much his fault...

The question is why would Payton want to take the ball out of Drew's hands on 4th and nine...

Don't you think firing Sean is a bit extreme?

Re: The dumbest fake punt in the history of dumb fake punts
 

One million points for that. Greg McMahon is the worst. There are laundry lists of blatant acts of incompetence on his watch.

That goon-headed, stab-myself-in-the-face play was telegraphed as soon as Cadet went in motion, and you have one receiver in the pattern with Morstead throwing him the ball. Cadet would have been the better option throwing or running, considering he was an option-style college QB. But why should we be the ones that have to point this kind of stuff out?!

That play should be set to the Benny Hill theme song or The 3 Stooges theme song. The F///-Up Fairy struck yet again on special teams, and Greg McMahon continually invites that tramp to hang around long enough to kill possibly one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history. Thank you so much, Greg, you taterheaded moron.

Do you find being 1-3 instead of being 4-0 a bit extreme?

There is absolutely no reason, zip, zero, nada, for the Saints to not be, at the very least in first place in the division.

I don't give a fat rat's ass about run-pass balance. All I care about are wins!

Re: The dumbest fake punt in the history of dumb fake punts
 

It's funny that this article calls it the dumbest fake punt ever, because immediately after we did it I sent a text to my brother saying it was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You could see it coming a thousand miles away. Cadet is running for what seems like 10 seconds toward the punter, and the whole time I'm thinking to myself "this better be a really weird punt, because if it's what it looks for all the world it's going to be, then this is the worst fake punt ever". What the hell sort of advantage could you possibly have from starting a guy in motion on a punt from that far away? Who wouldn't have seen what was coming? This team is a joke from top to bottom right now.

What is the problem with simply going for it on 4th down? Jesus. Payton forgot how he coached 2006 - 2009. This defense forgot how to tackle from last year. Colston and Graham forgot how to catch the ball from forever.

Re: The dumbest fake punt in the history of dumb fake punts
 

Dude, you're not going to fool a single person into believing that wasn't Payton's design and call. Special teams coaches handle the normal ST related things. Any kind of trick play other than something generic like a reverse is going to have the offensive play caller, be it the head coach or the OC, running that play. And even if it were Mcmahon's play, Payton obviously approved of it. It was stupid, and there is no defense having let it happen.

Re: The dumbest fake punt in the history of dumb fake punts
 

Design of a special teams play comes from the special teams coordinator, Greg McMahon. You think that Payton designs plays for the special teams when he does all the offensive play designs and calls? What would be the point of having a special teams coordinator then?

Greg McMahon the Gigantic Idiot would have recommended that play to Payton for that situation, and Payton signed off on that idiocy to use in that situation. Both need the blame for that one...Greg the Moron for design plus recommended that stupidity & Sean Payton for approving it to use.

This play ranks up there with AB's backwards pass in Jacksonville, but that was on AB. He turned that play into pure idiocy...last night's idiocy was the incompetence of Greg the Moron and the lack of judgement by Sean Payton.
