I'm trying to slow things down as much as possible for you here.

I never said the talent gap was so great that mixing in Khiry and Pierre would be too detrimental to the team's chances. That was your inference and it was wrong. Therefore, basing your counter argument off that gave you faulty logic for your foundation.

the job isn't done or not done. it's not delivering a letter to the post office.

If you think Payton doesn't have a long range plan with the expectation/hope of making the playoffs, then I don't know what else to tell you.

Like the Saints do when we put in Robinson instead of Ingram?

So giving the ball to less talented backs doesn't impact your chances of winning?

Do you realize how razor thin the margin between winning and losing is in the NFL?

No, actually it wasn't. My inference was that playing the more talented back more gives you a better chance of winning than playing a less talented back more. Game of inches...

Pretty fricking logical to me.

I think Payton is trying to win each individual game at this point.

He won't risk a player who is injured for 1 week, but if a player is cleared to play and is cleared for full snaps, he's going to use him that way. If not, Jahri Evans would be given a rest when he has a lingering injury.

Brees had his best game this year with a RB that played in 55/69 snaps (79.7%). It just so happens that RB also had the best game of his career.

We're not a lock for the playoffs right now and you guys want to go back to a RBBC to keep Ingram "fresh". Ingram getting more carries in game 1 and 2 could have been the difference between a win and a loss. We may never know, but we had the most decisive win this season with him being the #1 RB by a mile.

The other two wins we squeaked by
Minnesota: Khiry (30/72), PT (35/72)
Khiry's R/P: 19/5
PT's R/P: 8/18

Tampa Bay: Khiry (45/93), PT (31/93)
Khiry's R/P: 21/20
PT's R/P: 4/22

Green Bay: Ingram (55/69)
Ingram's R/P: 25/20

Ingram's other 3 games:
Game 1: 20/76; 13R/6P
Game 2: 20/72; 11R/8P
Game 6: 26/75; 11R/9P
