Agreed. With the lead we had going into the fourth quarter, and we are still 70-30 passing to running? That's just ignorant. Sean Payton needs to get it through his feeble mind that when we are ahead like that we need to RUN THE BALL MORE! It doesn't matter if you're not too successful at first, it eats up time and wears out their defense so that when we need to pass it's easier because they are more tired and not looking for it as much. When we came out at halftime we should have started working on our run game and eating time off the clock. And better yet, it would have kept our weak link (The Defense) off the field and much fresher. I'm really, really, really tired of saying this and watching SP blow games by not running more in games like this, so, I'm not gonna say it or comment on it anymore.

no, feel free to say it as much as you like.

I sorta agree with you, but sorta disagree also. The one thing we do right is
pass, and sometimes, we suck at running. So, if we make first downs, we win, no matter how we get them. Two points yesterday, where if we had made first downs, we would have won.
