Really Sean Payton?
Really Drew Brees?

Why attempt a TD pass there?

They could have given Ivory a carry to break 100 yards.

I'm glad it was intercepted...poetic justice.

kicking a FG there is actually considered more insulting in coaching circles than going for it

I was actually a little surprised by this, as Payton is usually good about these things. I don't know what their thought process was, but I'm sure he had a reason.

I would've actually kicked a FG and given Hartley more practice.

To shut up the critics and remind people that the Saints never let off the gas.

you cannot kick the field goal in that situation - if it gets blocked and returned for a TD you give the Sea Chickens a chance. That being said, I thought he would run it there. I did not see it as running up the score though.

That's real good calling out SP and Drew after the way Petey acted all day yesterday. He spent more time on the field whining than his players did playing. The refs should have given him some Midol and sent him to the locker room.

I agree with passing it. I needed that 5th TD pass from Brees for my fantasy league....

He wanted to embarrass Pete Carroll. He's got reggie's back.

Kicking a FG = free points (with a kicker other than Hartley, obviously)

Going for it = gives the defense a chance to make a play and is a much lower percentage play in and of itself

I saw an Eagles game years ago where some team kicked a FG late in the 4th while up on Philly by quite a bit and there was nearly a massive brawl on the field

Or, to put it another way, if Pete Carroll wasn't upset about it, you shouldn't be, either

You fail at starting threads. Move away from the keyboard.

I wholeheartedly endorse going for it there.

Meh, this isn't college football. There is no need to let the dogs up.
