I hope all coaches especially ours learn from this game.

i doubt they'll just blow it off

Just because the pass play that was called sucked doesn't change the fact that they did go for the win.

Ok.

I hope we go for the win and call smart plays.

They did go for the kill. Do you not remember the fade to Colston when running the ball would have been the safe move? Just because the pass play that was called sucked doesn't change the fact that they did go for the win.

Shitty call, plus they did the safe thing and ran on the first two downs. Once again, way too early to try and milk the clock.

The third down play where he sent Brees on a bootleg run is the play that pissed me off. The defense stopped a hall of fame QB twice and instead of going three wide and trying to pick up the first, they try that which was playing it a little too safe. You can't put the defense in that position three times. Defense did good overall. Held the pats to 6 yards up to that point.

Of course it's true. We ran 5 of our last 6 plays. And achieved no first downs.

You're telling me that isn't playing it safe?

They threw a pass to try icing the game when the safe play would have been to run it and burn more clock. Is this really that hard for you to understand? Calling a pass play on that third down is the complete opposite of playing it safe.

There was a games a fewyears ago... Against Tampa I think in mid December. All Payton had to do was get a first down to end the game. He called a reverse... Devery to Bush (maybe the other way around). Handoff bobbled, fumble, Tampa recovers... Drives for the winning score.

Payton just tries to get too cute every now and then. It's the price we pay for having a coach who is a genius most of the time.
