Sean Payton doesn’t like implications of NFL’s new ejection rule
 

The NFL Competition Committee voted on Wednesday to pass a rule proposed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell that would automatically eject a player after two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.

Saints head coach Sean Payton isn’t sure it was the right move.

“I don’t like the idea of two and you’re out, because I just think it gives the impression, it’s late in the third quarter, fourth quarter, we’re up 20, and I can use one,” Payton said.

Drafted in part after the wild feud between Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, the rule would have applied only once this season: when Titans pass rusher Brian Orakpo melted down after a roughing-the-passer call against a teammate during Tennessee’s win over the Saints.

Payton isn’t sure this something the NFL should try to legislate at all.

sounds to me like Payton wants to go back to the bounty system?

stupid rule
Just admit that the game has gotten too fast for the 55+year old officials and use replay on everything

The Beckham situation was ridiculous. Don't use the lack of judgment shown in that game as the acid test for this rule

How many players actually received two unsportsmans in a game the past couple of years?

Another form of legislating morality.

Which is hilarious because Der Kommisar is void of moral ethics.

Agreed. Those refs clearly had no control in that game. They let the Beckham/Norman battle get ridiculously out of hand. Our officials are getting worse & worse (control/play calling) every year.

Who said the B word? What is the B word anyhow?

I'm ok with it.

Hmmmm! I don't like the implications of these implications!! Here's hoping the Saints draft many GA Tech players so the front office can be "ALL ABUZZ!"
