Payton will get his...

[TwentyOne]

Onside kick was a bit of a stretch at that point, and i thought it was a bit classless.

I also thought the "kneel down" at 3 minutes to go was really classless... please... if you DON'T want to score then you call a couple of "soft" running plays up the middle.

Sean will get his eventually.

All that being said, i still give him credit for a heck of a game plan vs. us.

I just thought the 1st two things i mentioned were questionable.

I wanted to post some words aboiut that yesterday but decided not to because i was really too mad at that point.

But still i feel that was not only classless that was very arrogant and the only reason Payton did that was to offend us.

Anyways, Payton schooled Zimmer. We should have got rid of both of them last offseason.

Sorry.

I was more offended by the way the cowboys played, especially on defense.

This complaining is absurd... it's not like this is college football and we're North Central Arkansas State playing against USC... this is pro football.

New Orleans understood how important this game was -- something our team failed to grasp -- and they went for the throat. The onsides kick was brilliant. Scoring on that drive essentially ended the game.

As for the kneel down? Does everyone have short term memory loss? It's exactly what we did against Tampa Bay.

I don't know. Sean went for the killer instinct. And that is something Dallas lacked, even when Payton was our asst. coach. We could never bury teams and often lost games where we had the lead going down the stretch.

Sean put the nail in the coffin on that drive. It broke our backs and killed the teams morale.

That's what a good coach does.....know matter how it makes you look, you have to go for the kill when the oppurtunity presents itself.

Actually, I thought the on side kick was brilliant........they had just scored and we are down and out.....and boom!

No one expected it and this is professional football.......paid big bucks.....if your not ready .....SHAME ON US!

 

[Kalyan]

May be Payton is doing us a fovor exposing another of our special teams coach genius formations.

The game is lost anyway, it is better in this game than in another game that changes the outcome

 

[dcjules]

Thats football.....onside kick was great because it worked, stupid if it doesnt.....Payton called a great offensive game and everything worked out...one of those games....give the Saints their due, they played great.....as far as the kneel down, thats tough, because it does show respect and abit of "in your face"...but what the heck, at that point the Cowboys didnt want to play anymore, he had to kneel down to prevent a score....

Face it we got clocked....

The Onside was a classless move for sure. Those who have played beyond pee-wee league no it. There is a level of respect and Payton still needs to learn that. He did a great job coaching that game, and the onside was soemthing that 99% of coaches wouldn't do with a lead like that late in the game. I guess the gazers who live the fantasy crap loved it, but believe me when I say that someone will show him up at some point, so it all is circular. All that said, the Saints played better, were better prepared, and obviously won big. Save the "sour grapes" and eye rolling heads for the fantasize league.

It wasn't late in the game... It was still relatively early in the 3rd quarter. This was not a classless move. It belongs in the 'dumb' category perhaps but certainly not in th classless category. Frankly, unless BP instructed his offense that the game was over and not try to score for the rest of the game, I just don't see how some of you can call that onside kick classless... Dumb...likely Classless...definitely 100% no...

 

[menace]

What if the Cowboys were winning the game by that much and Bill Parcells called an onside kick? Would it be classless then?

 

[phillycard]

I thought it was damn good coaching. I had to talk my boy off the roof, as he was furious over that. This is the NFL not Southwest Missouri State vs. Michigan. You guys would be touting BP had y'all done that to them, and you know it.

 

[SaintsFanMan]

Classless???

Heck, Payton ripped us off for seven points. I was still in the game until that point.

 

[Shrimpnose]

During a professional football game it is a war for 60 mins, and only until the players start shaking hands and the clock reads 00 is it over, if they are going to be "nice' to one another, then let them do it at the after party , or at the 'crib" or when they talk on the phone the following week. Geez, there were practically no cowboy fans left in the stands by then to be put out about it, were there. And all of those who weren't there and offended, why were you not there to support the team?

For anyone to say that a football play, during the 3rd 1/4, that takes the wind out of an opponent is classless, is just sour grapes. And, I seriously doubt that the cowboys will hand the Saints any "L" this year.

 

[Furor]

The Saints tried to just let the clock run down on that last drive by running the ball up the middle, but the Cowboys defense was just letting them rumble through for 6-7 yards a pop. They had given up by that point and were ready to jump in the hot tub. The only way we could end the game and not score was to take a knee and shake hands.

Also, your team had a 4th and 11 on their previous possession and chose to punt, choosing to give us the ball back with no fight.
