That is actually worse than Payton not knowing if it was 4th Down or not. A person can make a mistake (yeah, that is a HUGE mistake for a HC), but for a player...even a fuuture HoFer like Drew...to override the HC inside the 30 yard line in a blowout on the road on 4th down in the 4th Qtr? 52 other players saw that. The rest of the staff saw that.

The defense had to go out there and defend 20 something yards after we didn't make the 1st down around the 25 yard line. Don't think the defense was mad about that? They were already the laughing stock of the NFL before that happened. This kind of thing divides a team...if it hasn't happened already, that is.
I've seen Brady and Manning do it at different times in their career so its really no BFD that Brees did it
