Was anyone else mad that we punted with 6 mins left down by 3 scores? (1 Viewer)

4th & 20 on your 39 with 5:50 to play. why do you give up? I know the chances are slim given how we are playing but you have to try right?

Payton throwed up the white flag way before that.

not starting taysom in the second half was the point at which payton gave up trying to win the game, there was no justifiable reason to believe teddy was giving us the slightest chance to compete in that game

I was mad. Hate to see the coach give up.

Hmm. By that point, we had lost Brees, TQ Smith, Peat, Anzalone, Kirkwood, and were down by a large margin. Not going for it on 4th and 20 did not make me mad, no.

What also really frustrates me is the lack of urgency when they're losing by multiple scores. Even with Drew they do this.

 

[CanadianSaint]

So you are saying he shut them down so they would now Be injured?

Because it's 4th and 20 on your 39 with 5:50 left to play and your team minus the defense decided to not show up, that's why.

Being upset at that is like wrecking your car and being mad that the cup holders were destroyed.

You should be a R Word fan. You'll enjoy Jay Gruden's Garbage Time Antics. Why risk getting players enjoyed down 3 touchdown with 5 minutes left. Game is over.
