Now I don't presume to know all that much about football. But why the hell did Sean Payton call a backwards lateral on a 4th down play against the Bears, when Brees succesfully converted the last 4th down by running straight behind his center? He has been making some sketchy arse play calls lately

you mean a pitch?...you're a few days late on this one, but yeah he's been calling ridiculous plays all season. His play calling on 3rd and short and 4th and short are retarded at best. Maybe he has no confidence in our power run game.

Why did he run a reverse pitch (Bush to Devery) last season against the Bucs when all we needed to do was run out the clock?

Why did he call a WR throw back (Moore's INT) against the Packers this season when we were getting 15 yards per play with our normal set?
