I asked this in another thread just wounder what some of yall think. Does anyone think this has anything to do with what Benjamin Watson referred to as off field issues having an effect on the field?

I think it's clear that Morgan had off the field issues and locker room issues. He was on a "no strike" policy and it had very little to do with his on-field play and everything to do with his shitty off-field attitude.

I think it is definitely off the field related. Both Morgan and vaccaro have been mentioned in rumors and combined with watson's comments and the release / benching it just makes sense. Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but if it were performance related more than just those 2 would be off the field.

This team has off the field or locker room issues. It has become clear. Now did this shitty season cause it or has it been since day one, who knows.

And it starts with the head coach. He needs to get his shite together first.

Maybe Payton realized he's been slacking off as a coach.

When he got here he fired Gandy for having a chair in the lockerroom, and he railed anyone who acted up on the sidelines.

Now we have Moore dancing, Graham doing his dipshit hulk thing when he gets a first down after missing 5 balls and while losing.

The field looks sloppy and undisciplined, and it has since he got back from his suspension.

Maybe he woke up.

Pretty sure every team has a player that will make gestures after first downs...

I don't know what you're confused about. Do you not remember those retarded dances?

Graham's obnoxiousness would not have been tolerated when Payton started here. And it shouldn't be now.

I laughed so hard. This is so true.

Look drew got paid Sean got paid and Jimmy got paid. There are ZERO fricks given by this team period.

They have the talent but there is no chemistry. The loss of sproles, jenkins, Harper and Moore turned out to be bigger than some thought.

the team often reflects the coach -- i dont know what his day to day has been looking like or how things are run..... but during and since the suspension/divorce i feel like weve got more stories of him.... indulging in behavior that might make players feel like they can bend the standards a little too?
