And I don’t mean garret. What a dumb decision by Payton to call a time out with 2.03 on the clock. That jus gave us license to pass the ball.

Is anyone going to criticize the wonder boy coach?

10-2 and got shut down by the best defense in the NFL.

I think going for it on 4th was the right call. Credit our D with the stop, all the percentages there say you go for it.

I'd be mad if Garrett kicked a field goal in the same situation.

Sean Payton really hurt his team in the end.

Taking that timeout 3 seconds before the two-minute warning was stupid. If he would have let it run to the two-minute warning, Dallas would have run the ball and played the clock game.

Instead, Payton gave Dallas a free pass play. No need to run the ball when the clock is going to stop anyway at the two-minute warning.

Throw, interference, ball game.

Kudos to Dallas for seeing that at the time. A lot of coaches (including Garrett) often miss these subtleties in the heat of the moment. Payton certainly screwed it up.
And should have taken the 3 points in 1st half too.

You’d never know the Saints were 10-1.

It’s one game . We’ll take it but I’m still concerned about our offense. This game shouldn’t have been close.

To each their own, but they should’ve taken the points there, IMO. I probably would’ve.

Nevertheless, the way it played out we won SO I’M NOT COMPLAINING.

Na. This is the NFL . You make it a one score game converting turnover.

It also needs to be said that showing balls and taking the shot ultimately won the game. Did anyone want to see Brees with the ball back down 6 with over a minute left?
I’ve seen that movie enough to tell you how it would have ended...
