Quote of the year from Todd Payton.

Said the team hasn’t really been outplayed this season that they’ve beaten themselves.

Now there’s a coach trying to hold onto his job.

Bahahahaha!!

Bahahahaha!!

lol this is an outrageous quote from the coach of a team that got rolled 58-6 and backed it up a week later in a 42-8 loss.

Ryles has Parra on a nice trajectory and the Cowboys are a disaster. Parra by 10

I couldn’t believe those words came out of his mouth with what they’ve dished up this season. He has a real poker face while saying it in the press conference after the loss last weekend.

Does he not understand what being outplayed is???
