Payton's locker room presence

Listen, Detroit has been in just about every game they've played this season, often carrying leads into the fourth quarter. . If they had a quarterback they probably would have won 6 games at the very least.

I would like to see the Saints get just credit for absolutely blowing out a team who had alot to play for (avoiding a dubious place in history) and who has taken some very good teams right down to the wire this season.

I absolutely agree. The thing that made me so nervous about that game is how close the Lions were in several games especially the last 4 or 5. They really held leads in about 3 or 4 games recently in the 4th quarter.
