GarysWorld ‘NUFF SAID’ | Sean Payton’s gambles

Feb 8

What are the odds of a coach starting the second half of the Super Bowl with a onside kick?
Why did coach Payton go for a touchdown near the end of the first half?

Good questions asked by armchair quarterbacks around the world.

Well as a former football player and coach, i want to say that Sean Payton has the guts and foresight that separate the good coaches from the greatest coaches. He took some chances, but they were well thought out, and craftily calculated. In my humble opinion he was doing everything he possibly could to give the Saints the opportunity to gain momentum

In the first quarter it was looking like the Saints might get blown out. After they settled down in the second quarter, it was turning into a battle. This amazing coach realized that they needed more to gain the advantage. Thus the so called ‘gambles’ took place. Sean Payton took the challenge on his shoulders. He believed in his team, and they believed in him. With a couple of breaks they were able to change the game. This ol hillbilly believes this game ranks as the best game in Super Bowl history because of the courage of a coach, and the belief of a team in that coach.

Sean Payton is a real hero in the world of sports.
