49ers don't score many points in road games.

The OP makes a very good point....its not like Sean Payton risk playing his starters.....but the 9rs are not a good scoring team....here's one of the most likely scenarios....4th qt, 9rs up by 6.....16 to 10....what would Sean Payton do?

Isn't that quite obvious?.....of course the starters will play to the end. No question about it...
