My take !
I agree, we needed that butt woopen so we know we still have work to do and will work harder to prevent that from happening again, I think it really was needed for coach payton cause like players, coaches can get big heads to (see brian billich) and dispite what people think, this is a passing team, and bush is one of the key pieces because he is a runningback who can play reciever. When it all comes together Bush will be the game breaker runner and Duece will be the player that can close the game out in the 4th, and lets just say we trade duece or duece gets hurt again, thought replacing duece is next to impossible getting a runner who can get tough yards wont be, to me this is just like the eagles offense with Brian Westbrook being Reggie and Buckhalter being Duece, both teams can win by passing more than running and both can lose by not running enough (60-40 ratio) I like this team, i LOVE the game plans but I also know that were a couple players away from people outside of the organization and saintsreport.com to see our vision, so i dont get when Brees throws for 350yrd and duece has 12 carries for 60yrds, because he was probably a break tackle away or a miss block away from being a 12 carry 102yrd day, Payton is an inovative play caller and play designer and everyplay he calls is intended to get big yards which is why brees can throw for 380yrd and duece can have a 15 carry 120yrd game....i know i'm kinda just running on a tangent but i really do like this coach and these players but realize that were a couple players away from this offense to click the way its supposed to click...people forget this is his (paytons) first year were not supposed to be 5-2 were supposed to be struggling but we got spoiled so when we lose we forget and start pointing fingers he a rookie coach he is gonna make bad calls and bad decisions.
