Payton calls a t.o. right after Newton runs a qb draw off tackle for 2 yards with 1:20 or so to go. The defense hasn't stopped Carolina all game, yet he wastes his last time out. Next play they score. My beef is at least give your offense a chance to go to overtime with a FG. That was one of the dumbest moves Payton has ever done and he deserves to be put into question

that is low on the list of "dumb decisions". Carolina had what, 3 timeouts left? They were milking the time 30-40 seconds on the play right before that timeout was called.

they milk it again, and just say carolina needs time, they still have more than enough control with 3 timeouts that deep in saints territory

So you're relying on the saints defense? Cmon man. They didn't stop them all day.

Disagree that it was a bad timeout. He doesn't call it and the Panthers drain the whole play clock. They aren't getting the ball back so it's all or nothing on that drive and they want to leave us as little time as possible.

What in the hell are you talking about? You know that Carolina was trying to run the clock so that we had no time left to counter a score? Keep up.

Let them score quickly, like they have all afternoon. I swear to an alleged God, this place has become full friggin retard. Sean Payton is an awful coach when it comes to clock management. Back in 2000, the Saints were playing Seattle at the University of Washington while the Seahawks stadium was being built. They were down by 10, facing a 4th and 9 at Seattle's 25 yard line. Haslett calls a pass by Blake and they get nothing out of it with 2:00 to go. Today reminded me of that. I've been around bro. Keep stroking Payton because he is done. He won't get clipped, and will be allowed to walk and get proper compensation.
