Saints @ 49ers last year

Beating a dead horse.

That game was over when the Alex Smith bootleg happened. They were just laughing and showing how crappy our defense was to let a mediocre crappy quarterback pull a Tecmo bowl play and actually score from it. I know no one wants to accept that, but it's true. You turn the ball over 5 times, you are going to lose. Those turnovers are as much to blame as the defense doing absolutely nothing to stop them in the final 5 minutes of that game.

After the turnovers, the play calling also was pretty bad. I don't care about Brees completions either, he threw the ball over 60 times....Where was the running game? They didn't even try to run it if he threw it 60 times. The games we won in the regular season, we were running the ball very well. Brees shouldn't have had to throw it up that many times.
