I'll never be convinced Sean Payton is a good coach. This is a terrible challenge -- even if you win how is it worth it to not have a challenge later?

Meant: Not worth the risk for such little possible benefit
I’m sorry but what?? Getting a goal to go situation isn’t worth it when you’re having trouble moving the ball against a jacked up D?

Not sure if that was the play call, but if it was, that's a great play call by Linehan. If it wasn't, it was a fantastic read by Dak.

Dallas was dumb to hurry that up. Saints couldn't challenge and it was a catch anyway. You don't have to take it to the ground anymore.

Sean Payton seems to be in a bit of panic mode after watching his offense go 3 and out twice to start the game. Doesn't seem used to that, and he's been on tilt ever since.

That's the one thing Dak needs to do better. He needs to fucking hold onto the ball when there are rushers around him.

This would be an absolute crisis on ESPN if Brady was 7/13 for 39 yards.

Terrible job by the offensive line on back to back plays. Completely whiff on the wrap around stunt leads to a sack right up the middle. Then they run a draw, and the lineman responsible for Rankins, who was basically playing a nose tackle position doesn't even chip him before he starts running downfield. You have to at least hold the block for a second to make a draw work, instead Rankins has a free run at the handoff and Zeke can't get around him.

Jesus. Byron Jones gets hit with DPI, when if he just turned around, the ball would have hit him in the chest.

So Brees doesn't like pressure up the middle? No shit? So it's not just the recipe to get to Brady huh?

NO receivers also don't like the grabsies, Dallas seems perfectly happy to pay for it with a holding foul every now and then

Payton declines a holding call that would have made it 2nd and 20, and on 3rd and 10, they get the DPI on Thomas to give the Saints a first down.

But the Cowboys defense holds again...Vander Esch is a stud.

Fucking idiot. Roughing the punter gives the ball back to New Orleans. You just can't fucking do this shit when you're trying to pull off a huge upset.

How teams haven’t learned to just stand up and do nothing on punts yet, I’ll never understand.

I know everyone loved Rams/Chiefs but there is just something about a defense fucking up a great offense that I love

Edit: right on Q, TD Louisiana Purchase

Cowboys go from up 13-3 and getting the ball back and dominating the game, to 13-10 and facing a 3rd and 14 on a pretty much must-score drive. What a fucking disaster.

Holy fucking shit. Like I said, they should have cut him on the fucking sideline. Guy can't stand on the right side of the LOS, and it costs them the ball again.
