re: Can sean Payton coach the rest of the season?

No doubt, but unless Cole comes in and plays some of the best ball of his career, we may not have the talent to make the run needed to make the playoffs. I still think that this team, when healthy, is absolutely playoff caliber. AD will get back to his regular god-like self soon and Ryno will typically be much better than he was tonight. But without Jrue, we're just not good enough to go ~21-7.
