N/S Denver media absolutely shreds Payton.. (1 Viewer)

[DisplacedSaint]

Non-Saints, but I thought it was worth mentioning. This is a bit much IMO..

Keeler: Broncos coach Sean Payton didn’t just quit on his team. He quit on Broncos Country during a playoff chase.

Maybe there’s a reason Broncos coach Sean Payton didn’t toss a red flag when he had multiple chances vs. the Detroit Lions. He was too busy reaching for the white one.

Cool. I’ll take him back.

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Meh. Just another Op Ed piece.

 

[jesusfish]

Maybe they should rehire Hackett then

Dude took a sub-par team with a washed QB and has them comeptitive in year one.

He’s going to demand more of his team than their last coaches. They better get used to it.

 

[J.T.]

Cool. I’ll take him back.

I'd give them back their 2nd round pick and they can keep the 3rd round pick we are sending them. They wouldn't have 3 wins without him.

Sean overall has done a really good job this year in Denver. But he is also all of the adjectives used in the opening paragraph. If he wins, he can get away with it. If he doesn't, the knives come out.

Just a fan who's feelings are hurt after a thumping. They haven't experienced the full CSP experience, so they can't see the big picture yet. I watched the game and that series. Payton was very distracted last night. He was mad at the refs and it got in his head. The refs weren't going to let Denver win that game regardless but neither were the Lions.

Payton has already matched the most wins that the Broncos have had in the last 6 seasons. A lot of that team are used to being losers. They are going to be an inconsistent team until they all learn to be winners. I didn't watch the game, but I would not put it past Payton to allow them getting their butts kicked on national TV to create a teaching moment.

It's year 1 in a rebuild and they already had people talking dark horses for the playoffs. The last 3 games are against the Patriots, Chargers and Raiders. They have a realistic chance at finishing with double digit wins for the first time since 2015 when they won the Super Bowl. That the local media is crushing him during this time and under those circumstances is crazy.

Yeah. Saints Payton would have challenged at least one of those goal lines plays. He didn't do either. Definitely didn't feel like old school Payton.

 

[Saints 4 life]

He looks a little different

Yea something wasn’t right. I think he was po’d at Russ for jumping into the next play so quickly, while they were looking at the replay. I’m not positive., but I can’t think of any other reason to light up Russ at that time.

Saints Payton would have challenged some benign 7 yard gain the first quarter and lost his challenge, then wasted the second on another benign 3 yard first down on second and 1 in the second quarter. This happened ALLL the time he was notoriously the worst coach when it came to challenges.

"...the challenge flags that were apparently too heavy for the wee man to hurl Saturday night at Ford Field."

Seems to me this writer has a personal beef.
