Payton's Press Conference
 

You know how this typically goes, credit "insert team name"

It's a tough loss

We'll review the film.

Payton showed more passion arguing with the press than he did for 4 quarters, he looks done and I hope he is.

Tired of these dink and dunk plays. Just launch it! We don't have much to lose now!

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

It's a tough loss?

come on Sean bite the bullet and I call that a turd the team laid on the field yesterday.

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

I get that Payton and vice-versa the team may, that is may be burned out on one another...

But who out there can you replace him with that will take this team deep in the playoffs?!?

The team is turning the corner player personnel-wise since Jeff Ireland arrived on the scene; I'd give Ireland the full GM title and elevate him to just under the Team President...

And/or maybe bring in a heavy-weight (i.e. Parcells) as Team President, relieving Lauscha, who could check Payton on personnel moves and also force assistant coaching changes that keeps Payton from being the heavy with his pals...

and i will repeat my self for the third year in a row.

wait till 2017

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

What a sad press conference. The typical coachspeak and Captain Obvious talk, and then when an interesting question comes along it sets him off. Really?

Under Payton, this team has gone into a funk it cannot break out of. We may have the occasional big win or standout performance but it doesn't change the overall course we are on. He lost the team a while ago.

I can't believe he went back to taking over playcalling AGAIN. I feel bad for Carmichael. Payton is divisive and has done a terrible job of handling his coaching staff. That strife trickles down to the locker room and then we see it play out on Sunday. Something took Brees head out of the game today and I would bet it was a direct result of something Payton did.

We cannot cling onto some false hope that Payton will be Bill Walsh or Bill Belichick. He is more like Mike Holmgren or Brian Billick - a brief era of greatness and then his style doesn't work so you move on.

These are PROFESSIONAL players not high-school or college....you get PAID to come out and play and WIN every week what more motivation do you need as an NFL player....best believe it was a different kind of convo with the TEAM in the locker room....He doesn't do the media for real win or lose....Him being energetic doesn't matter because he wasn't the one on the field playing the PLAYERS are at the end of the day...decisions made on the field by PLAYERS are out of the coaches control SELF-MOTIVATION is in order if you need a smack on the ass every week to get you to play, well maybe you are in the wrong business ....94 & 32 sure seemed to be energetic the o-line & DREW were the main reasons on offense

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

what was bad about his coaching....it was EXECUTION my only problem was that we didn't run the ball enough but we could only run up the middle and to the right of the o-line....this was Drew's worse game of the season by far....coaching wasn't the problem offensively trust

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

every time the Saints lose it's Payton's fault....come on

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

When, regardless of what players we have, its the same exact outcome for 3 years straight then yes, it is Paytons fault.

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

Remember when we used to say that in the third week of the season?

Good times.

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

When Payton gets fired and our team turns into the Browns, everyone calling for his head will wonder what happened.

I agree some changes need done, but starting a head coaching carousel isn't my idea of progress.

I'm not saying Payton doesn't need a fire lit under his ass and for some of the assistants to be fired, but I'd like to see what happens next year before I call for Payton's head.

Sorry, I've been a fan for almost 40 years and this "terrible team" isn't nearly as bad as people think.

There were some bad moves and bad decisions. But firing Payton right now would be a terrible move. If you can get a guy like Parcells or Cowher in I could understand. But that's not going to happen. I'm still patient with Sean because I see the team moving upwards.

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

Sean's playcalling just does not strike fear in opposing defenses anymore.

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

You couldn't be more wrong.

What do you think a coaches job is?

Re: Payton's Press Conference
 

Loomis is only a bean counter but a good one. He can't evaluate talent or be a GM. Payton needs to be reigned in. Yes, he just got a five year contract and we are trending up but we need new blood and a strong GM. Ireland and the scouting has shown improvement and we need to jettison a few assistants(we all know who they are). Sean needs to turn the play calling back over to Carmichael and stay away from any defensive decisions.
