TD Thinks Sean Payton ran up the score in 2013

"They got a big lead on us and they were still dropping back trying to throw the ball deep. That speaks volumes when you have a team down and it's late in the fourth quarter and you're still trying to throw the ball deep," Davis told Panthers beat reporters on Thursday, according to the Charlotte Observer.

"That's their offense. That's their team. They can run it, do whatever they want to do. But that's a sign of disrespect."

During that particular game, the Saints were up 24-6 in the fourth quarter when Brees led the team on another scoring drive, completing an 8-yard pass to Jimmy Graham for a touchdown that put the Saints up 31-6. The Saints ran only twice on the 9-play drive, for a gain of one yard. 

Saints outside linebacker Junior Galette knows the chippiness that goes along with playing the Panthers. Davis was fined more than $16,000 for a cheap shot on Graham in the team's last meeting, a 28-10 Saints win in October.

"They play us tougher than any other divisional team," Galette said.

The Panthers have accused the Saints of running up the score more than once. They seethed in 2011 after the Saints went for individual records in a 45-17 blowout. 

"Definitely, you could feel it," defensive tackle Dwan Edwards said after the Panthers beat the Saints 35-27 in September, 2012. "Coach was pretty adamant about reminding us what happened last year with them running up the score. Guys don't forget that. It definitely gave everyone a little extra motivation."

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton said he's never tried to run up the score against the Carolina Panthers -- or anybody else.

"We're not in the business of doing that," Payton said Friday. "We're in the business of being smart, our players being healthy. It's too important."

Sean Payton is the poor man's Bill Belichick. He wants to be that evil but can't quite get there

More like a bastard youngin'. I respect a coach who knows his place and job, that is not to give a poo if the other team is losing by 30 points. I want a coach with a killer mentality without Bountygate or Spygate issues. As much as I hate the Hood, he is the best and I sure respect him. Sean tries to hard.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
