Saints sign K Cody Parkey
IMO, on the second drive when we went on fourth and 3 from the Giants 29 wasn't about kicker concerns. I think Payton wanted 7 points. He went on fourth down twice on the second TD drive against the Packers - 4th and 7 at the 41 and 4th and goal at the three.
He went for the longer field goal the second time because he regretted not getting the 3 points earlier and the Giants were peskier than he anticipated. IMHO, of course.
Edit: As for Parker, I hope he has used up his life quota of doinks.
