I cut Payton a little slack because other NFL coaches seem to over-punt too. But then again I cut him less slack because they had a whole two-minute warning break to make a good decision and yet failed to do so.

It was a piss poor call, just like his play calling for most of the game.

Carmichael should be calling the plays not Payton.
