All I’m saying is he will look pretty bad if he’s talked all this chit and they don’t look any better than they did last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 It’s really not too surprising when you think about it in the context of Payton’s history. He’s not saying anything that others haven’t thought, he’s just saying it out loud. His willingness to call out the league in a way that rubs it’s nose in its stupidity, consequences be damned, killed the Saints for years.

The Frankish Reich Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 There's a little Bill Parcells there. But there's also a little Rex Ryan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I hope Payton is correct. I also hope to see the Broncos crash and burn as well. I've always thought of him as the most overrated coach of modern times. Yes, he has a Super Bowl (oddly enough the only SB was in the Katrina aftermath🤔). Didn't take the Saints back. Bounty Gate. Had a hand in the Saints overspending for years then as soon as it looked like they were in for a few rough years...he bails and lines his pockets with a network job (of which I didn't think he was half bad at) and jumps right back into coaching somewhere else. Had to protect his career W/L record. I will give credit to McVay. He pretty much did the same with the Rams by mortgaging their future for a SB...but at least he's seemingly seeing it through.

babulator Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Never understood why folks would hate on a guy for his honesty. This is what we as NFL fans want, forget the vanilla responses, give us the dirt! His statements about the coaching last year can still be 100% valid even if disappoint this year imho. We can evaluate what went wrong with his season afterwards, I don't think it will make his statements about the Bronco's last year any less valid. They were a coaching disaster and I was totally blown away that anyone would hire Hackett as a HC. That said... it would be difficult for Payton to not improve last years Broncos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Hackett has to be blamed but someone in that organization interviewed him, looked at his track record and still thought he is worthy of being a HC. I also blame the idiots who hired him into that position By that you mean that he had a track record of Aaron Rodgers liking him and that hiring Hackett might lure him? I think that is all the track record they looked at. It couldn't have been his track record at Jacksonville and Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he gets credit (deserved or not) for somehow squeezing a sort of decent season out of the otherwise completely inept Blake Bortles. I'm still not sure how that happened.

I guess when you're Sean Payton, you aren't too worried about burning bridges in the "small world" of the NFL. Burning bridges with who? Nate Hackett? He's a bum. At least Payton has the nuts to say what really was going on there. It's what most football fans could plainly see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an interesting comment from that Tweet: "They were 29th in the league in pre-snap penalties on both sides of the ball." Reminds me of past Bills teams; it's kind of an odd stat, taken on its own, but it tells you all you need to know about a football team in terms of professionalism, preparedness, coaching, practice habits, discipline, teamwork, and tons of other stuff. That's a really good stat to pay attention to. Call it the train wreck stat, if you will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
