Down 17-13 late in the 4th. Let's see what he is made of. Home field advantage throughout the playoffs hang in the balance.
He passed the test with flying colors. 20-17. 37 yard pass play to a wideout. Who the hell is Vincent Jackson? This just in. The Seahawks ran it 3 times and out with less than 3 minutes to go and a 17-13 lead. Holmgren, you're a putz. This is why I like the Saints chances against a team like the Chargers. You give us a lead, and Payton will put you out your misery with a long pass, not let the game linger on and allow the other team to win it in the last minute. If you noticed, that hasn't happened all year long to the Saints under Payton.
Last I checked, he has fared as well as David Carr had his first 3 seasons. And we all know what people think of David Carr, by and large.
