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.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
