Payton is sooooooooo stubborn

Sean Payton is so stubborn. His disregard for the running game is ridiculous. I know towards the end of the game we had to throw a lot to try and get back in the game, but he refuses to run the ball. Final stats from today's game: 17 rushes, 58 passing attempts. Are you kidding me? Also the coaches should get together and take the challenge flag away from him, and make him ask one of them for the flag before he challenges. He gets pissed off and just throws the flag without consulting anyone. He has to have the worst record challenging in the history of the NFL.

I have been saying this since week 3! When we were running the ball in the first it was working fine. He refuses to stick to it, the combo with Deuce, Stecker, and Thomas was the best I've seen all year and he still got away from running the damn ball. This guy would probably play without a RB if he had his way. 58 pass attempts, Jesus!!! We weren't that far behind in the first half and if he would have kept running the ball it would have been a whole different ball game. Every team plays pass against us cause thats all Payton ever calls, anyone can defend that when all you have to do is play against the pass, GD Payton.

Payton and Miles are both ridiculously stubborn.

If you saw the stats for the first half, the rush to pass was very close. When you have a D like we do, its hard to keep running when you have to play catch up. And please, did you really say the running game is good and he just abandons it??? We had freakin 6 points in the first half and that was with a balanced Offense. How can you really argue not throwing the ball with a pro bowl QB? Like I said, it would be different if we weren't ALWAYS playing from behind

They didn't show the game out here. But Atl jumped on us fast and it was over by half time. All you can do is pass. It's pointless to run unless you got Peterson back there.

NO! By abandoning the run, I also meant that on 1st downs he would run and get 7-8 yards and then throw too much after that. Why not keep running and get the first, use more timeo on the clock and give the D a damn break for once!! Yeah, we were down, but when it was 14-6 and we were moving the ball with the run, keep doing what got you in the red zone and maybe score a TD!! Theres a lot more but I just don't feel like explaining myself, sorry guys.
