His press conf after the game was bad. He did not sound like the highest paid coach in the NFL. He was lashing out at reporters for the questions they were asking.

I was very disappointed in his un-professional behavior.

Then why has Payton's playcalling been crap recently? Brees can't call his own plays. That says it all. System QB.

We are now faced with answering questions about our offense and qb and we don'y want to answer.

According to Freud it is called denial.

Look at the offenses around the league and tell me what advantage Payton has as a playcaller over Koetter, Linehan, Gruden, Jim Bob, Todd Haley, Mike McCoy, Mularkey, and McDaniels?

Brees played well without Payton's playcalling for two years.

Referring to the OP, I'm considering it.

As the OP, I like the effort that SP is putting out these last few games. Payton's not going anywhere so as long as he's coach, I'm hoping that he does well and turns this team around. I'm still not happy that he's let his buddy McMahon hang around. Letting go of him would prove his commitment to the team over his own personal agendas.

Even today's Drew Brees without a good defense would struggle at times in that division. The AFC West was the best division in football in 2005. That went to crap when Vermeil left KC. Still all three outside Oakland had their shot to contend. There was no no way Brees was sweeping Trent Green two years in a row either which resulted in 9-7. If he did not get hurt against Denver, SD may have won that game. Denver only scored 22 in that game. Given how KC fell apart, Drew would have been dominating that division like Rivers did for a few years before it went to crap. So this notion Payton made him better is rubbish especially since we keep talking about how when Drew goes we're done contending. But it's also getting beyond pointless to continue arguing with a fanbase that isn't realistic about things.

A lot of this bad clock management is from drew calling a timeout before getting a delay call. Some of it is from challenges that Payton takes chances with. Every once in a while I will complain because we run shotgun empty on third and inches but when they work I forget about it. Other than that I wouldn't trade him for any coach in the world even though in my opinion there is only one better. I just remember getting rode on every time I say who my favorite team is and Payton and Brees made that change. We will be where we want to be next year.

Yeah for those of us that were born in the south and moved or who never lived in Louisiana or anywhere below the Mason-Dixon, Payton and Brees changed a lot. 40 years ago I was born in Louisiana but moved to Idaho when I was a kid. I was made fun of for bring a Saints fan. Everyone here is a Seattle, San Francisco or Denver fan (depending who is doing better).

I like Payton. I just want him to fire a couple people on his staff. Hopefully he will.
