re: Payton's Inexcusable Timeout Management

Wrong. Knowing somebody will seize a better option that you afford to them does not render an advantage over not giving them that option at all

If you are playing chess and you put your king in a shitty position, you know your opponent will come after it. Just because you know your opponent is coming after it doesn't make it an advantage. It just means your king is in a shitty position and both you and your opponent know it.

thats like saying that the saints were in a shitty position because they knew that the niners will pass?

peyton is a genius, and we won the game. if he didn't call that timeout, then we would not have had as much time to drive down for the gw field goal
